Remember Allah with hope

What It Means: Reading in Context

Abu Huraira reports the Prophet conveying words from Allah. In this hadith qudsi, the first-person speaker is Allah. This excerpt concerns remembering Him; the complete narration also describes His response when a servant remembers Him privately or in a gathering and draws nearer to Him. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 7405. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
