He also related, with its chain of transmission, the hadith of Abū Hurayrah, who reported that the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—said:

“Allah said: ‘I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me within himself, I remember him within Myself; and if he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a better gathering.’”
