Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet SAW said, “Allah says:

I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.’ “

Sahih al-Bukhari, 7405

In-Book Reference: Book 97, Hadith 34.

I am as My Servant Thinks of Me Meaning

This hadith show the excellence of the remembrance of Allah.

When a person remembers Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, inwardly, Allah will remember him in inwardly.

If he remembers him in an assembly, Allah will remember him in a better assembly.

That is, if you remember your Lord in your mind, either you utter it with your tongue secretly without anyone hearing you or you remember Allah in your heart, Allah, the Most High, will remember you in His mind.

And if you remember Him in a company, that is a congregation, He, the Most High, will remember you in a better company, which is the company of angels. He will mention you in their presence, exalt your mention and praise you.

This shows the excellence of remembrance of Allah, and that if a person remembers Allah in a company, this is better than if he remembers Him in his mind unless if he fears that it may lead him to show-off.

If he is afraid of show-off, he should not make it loud. But there should not be any whispering in his heart, by saying:

If you remember Allah loudly, this is show-off. So I will not remember Allah’.

He should abandon these whisperings and remember Allah, the Most High, among people and in his mind so that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will remember him the way he remembers his Lord.

Allah knows best.
