Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The reciter: 'Umar ibn Hafs narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, saying: Al-A'mash narrated to us, saying: I heard Abu Salih from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Allah the Exalted says: 'I am as my slave expects me to be, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me inwardly, I will remember him inwardly

يقول الله تعالى : أنا عند ظن عبدي بي وأنا معه إذا ذكرني فإذا ذكرني في نفسه ذكرته في نفسي

Riyad as-Salihin 1435

.

The Shaykh : In our version, it is "when."
The reciter: When

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

وأنا معه إن ذكرني فإن ذكرني في نفسه ذكرته في نفسي وإن ذكرني في ملأ ذكرته في ملأ خير منهم وإن تقرب إلي بشبر تقربت إليه ذراعا وإن تقرب إلي ذراعا

Sahih al-Bukhari 7405
