رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : يَقولُ اللَّهُ عزَّوجلَّ : إذا كانَ الغالِبُ عَلَى العَبدِ الاشتِغالَ بي جَعَلتُ بُغيَتَهُ ولَذَّتَهُ في ذِكري ، فإذا جَعَلتُ بُغيَتَهُ ولَذَّتَهُ في ذِكري عَشِقَني وعَشِقتُهُ ، فإذا عَشِقَني وعَشِقتُهُ رَفَعتُ الحِجابَ فيما بَيني وبَينَهُ ، وصَيَّرتُ ذلكَ تَغالُباً عَلَيهِ ، لا يَسهو إذا سَها النّاسُ. كنز العمّال : 1872 .
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Allah, Mighty and Exalted, says, ‘When a servant’s predominant state is preoccupation with Me then I make the object of his desire My remembrance and place his pleasure therein. And when I make My remembrance the object of his desire and place his pleasure therein, he becomes infatuated with Me and I with him. And when he becomes infatuated with Me and I with him, I remove all veils between Me and him, and make this state predominate over him where he is never again negligent even when other people are.’ Kanz al-Ummal, no. 1872
