What is meant by "with me" in His saying, "I am with him when he remembers Me," and is remembrance not possible except with the tongue (Questions)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Well, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) in the qudsi hadith that he narrates from his Lord
l am with my slave when he remembers me and his lips moveأنا مع عبدي ما ذكرني وتحركت بي
Bulugh al-Maram 16:102
out of mercy

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it; this is a specific type of presence.

The questioner:
Yes, Shaykh, he says (peace and blessings be upon him)
and his lips move for My sake,وتحركت بي شفتاه،
I understand from this that remembrance is not possible except by looking?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not remembrance by looking, no, no. This remembrance is done with the tongue and let it be with action. (Peace and blessings be upon him), and prayer is remembrance, and fasting is remembrance, and jihad is remembrance, and walking to visit the sick is remembrance, and so on; because the mover of the heart may be remembrance by the heart, and remembrance by the tongue, and by the action itself.
