The Meaning of the Hadith: “And if he comes to me walking, I will come to him running”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the correct interpretation of the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the qudsi hadith, where it says:
when he comes to me walking, I go in a hurry towards himأتاني يمشي أتيته هرولة
Sahih Muslim 2675e
?

Answer:
Its end interprets its beginning:
and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protection (Refuge), I will protect himولئن سالني لاعطينه ولئن استعاذني لاعيذنه
Sahih al-Bukhari 6502
to its end. Its meaning is that Allah hastens to respond to him and guides him, so his hand with which He strikes and his foot with which He walks [are guided]. In other words, He guides him and protects him, and He is with him with the special presence (mu'ayyah) which means guidance and support. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
