5204.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : قالَ اللَّه عزّ وجلّ ... : ما تَقَرَّبَ إلَيَّ عَبدٌ بشي‏ءٍ أحَبّ إلَيَّ ممّا افتَرَضتُ علَيهِ ، وإنّهُ لَيَتقرَّبُ إلَيَّ بالنافِلَةِ حتّى‏ اُحِبَّهُ ، فإذا أحبَبتُهُ كنتُ

5204.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Allah, Mighty and Exalted, has said, 'My servant can never come close to Me with something more beloved to Me than that which I have made obligatory for him, and he can come close to Me with supererogatory prayers such that I love him. And when I love him, I will become his hearing that he hears with, his sight that he sees with, his tongue that he speaks with, his hand that he strikes with. When he prays to Me, I will answer, and when he asks Me, I will give him.' 7
