Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah the Exalted says: I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him whenever he remembers Me. So if he remembers Me in his heart, I remember him in My heart; and if he remembers Me in an assembly, I remember him in an assembly better than his; and if he draws near to Me by a span, I draw near to him by a cubit; and if he draws near to Me by a cubit, I draw near to him by two cubits; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah has ninety-nine names, one less than a hundred. Whoever memorizes them will enter Paradise. And in another narration, there is an addition: Allah is Odd (Single, Unique) and He loves odd numbers.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you supplicates, he should ask Allah with certainty, and he should not say: O Allah, if You will, grant me. For there is no one who can compel Allah.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you should say, "O Allah, if You wish, forgive me. Grant me forgiveness," but rather he should supplicate with certainty. For there is no one who can compel Allah.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you should wish for death because of any harm that has befallen him. If wishing for death becomes necessary, then he should say: "O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and cause me to die when death is better for me."

Qais bin Abi Hazim narrated that I went to the service of Hazrat Khabbab bin Arat (may Allah be pleased with him); he had applied seven cauterizations (for the treatment of some illness). He said that if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not forbidden us from praying for death, I would certainly have prayed for it.

Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever likes to meet Allah, Allah also likes to meet him, and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, Allah also dislikes to meet him.

Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever likes to meet Allah, Allah also likes to meet him, and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, Allah also dislikes to meet him.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says, "I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him whenever he remembers Me. So 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 gathering better than it (his gathering of angels). And if he draws near to Me by a span, I draw near to him by a cubit, and if he draws near to Me by a cubit, I draw near to him by two cubits, and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running."

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There are some angels of Allah who roam the roads and search for those who remember Allah. When they find some people who are remembering Allah, they call out to each other,“Come, our purpose has been fulfilled.”Then they cover them with their wings up to the first heaven. Then, when it is finished, they return to their Lord. Then their Lord asks them—though He knows best about His servants—“What were My servants saying?”They reply,“They were glorifying You, declaring Your greatness, praising You, and exalting You.”Then Allah asks,“Have they seen Me?”They reply,“No, by Allah! They have not seen You.”Upon this, Allah says,“What would their state be if they had seen Me?”They reply,“If they had seen You, they would worship You even more, exalt You even more, and glorify You even more.”Then Allah asks,“What do they ask of Me?”The angels say,“They ask You for Paradise.”It is reported that Allah asks,“Have they seen Paradise?”The angels reply,“No, by Allah, O Lord! They have not seen Your Paradise.”It is reported that Allah asks,“What would their state be if they had seen it?”The angels reply,“If they had seen it, they would desire it even more, seek it most earnestly, and long for it the most.”Then Allah asks,“From what do they seek refuge?”The angels reply,“From Hellfire.”Allah asks,“Have they seen Hell?”They reply,“No, by Allah, they have not seen it.”Allah says,“What would their state be if they had seen it?”They reply,“If they had seen it, they would flee from it the most and fear it the most.”Upon this, Allah says,“I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that upon this, one of the angels said,“Among them is so-and-so who is not one of them (the people remembering Allah), but came for some need.”Allah says,“These are such people that even the one who sits with them will not be deprived (of mercy).”
