According to Abu Hurayra (ra), Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “When it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Blessed, the Sublime, descends every night to the heaven of the world and says, ‘Is there anyone who prays to Me (demand anything from Me), that I may respond to his prayer; Is there anyone who asks Me for something that I may give (it to) him; Is there anyone who asks My forgiveness that I may forgive him?’”(B6321, al-Bukhari, al-Da‘awat, 14)
Ibn ‘Abbas (ra) reported: “I was (sitting) behind the Prophet (saw) one day (while riding on something) when he said, “O young man! I will teach you a statement: Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah’s aid. Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you, you would never get any benefit except what Allah had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you, you would never be harmed except what Allah had written for you…’“(T2516, al-Tirmidhi, Sifat al-Qiyama, 59)
According to Abu Hurayra (ra), Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “Allah said, ‘I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My servant comes nearer to Me, are what I have enjoined upon him; and My servant keeps on coming closer to Me through performing nawāfil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will certainly give him, and if he asks My protection (refuge), I will definitely protect him.”(B6502, al-Bukhari, al-Riqaq, 38)
According to Abu Hurayra (ra), Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “Allah said, ‘I am near the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.’”(B7405, al-Bukhari, al-Tawhid, 15; M6832, Muslim, al-Dhikr, 21)
According to ‘Ubada b. Samit (ra), the Prophet (saw) said, “He who loves to meet Allah, Allah also loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah also abhors to meet him.”(B6507, al-Bukhari, al-Riqaq, 41; M6820, Muslim, al-Dhikr, 14)
