Hadith: When a Person strives to get closer to Allah

                                              Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu anhu reports

that Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wasallam in a Hadith Qudsi 
narratedthat Allah Ta'ala says:

I treat My slaves according to his expectations from Me.

I am with him when he remembers Me;

and if he remembers Me in his heart,

I remember him in My heart;

and if he remembers Me in a gathering,

I remember him in a better and nobler gathering (of angels).

If he comes closer to Me by one span,

I go closer to him an arm's length;

if he comes towards Me an arm's length,

I go towards him two-arm's length;

and if he comes to Me walking,

I run to him.

(Bukhari)

Note:

When a person strives to get closer to Allah through good deeds,

then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala turns towards His slave with much

more attention, mercy and help.
