4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abdillah ibn Sinan from abu Hamza al-Thumali from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “It is written in the Torah that is not changed that once Moses (a.s.) asked his Lord, ‘O Lord, are You near me so I may whisper to You or far from me so I call You?’ Allah, the Most Majestic and Most Exalted, inspired to him, ‘O Moses, I am in a face-to-face meeting with anyone who speaks of Me.’ Moses then said, ‘Who is in Your hiding (shelter and protection) on the day when there is no hiding except Yours?’ He (Allah) then said, ‘Those who remember Me, so I remember them, and love just because of Me, so I love them. It is these who, when I want to afflict the people of the earth with evil, I remember them and spare them (people of earth) through them (beloved people).’”
