Hadith 175175 - وَبِهذَا الإسناد قالَ: قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُعَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: إِنَّ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْران سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وقالَ: يا رَبِّ أَبَعيدٌ مِنِّى اَنتَ فَأُنَاديك اَم قَريب فَأُناجيكَ؟ فَأَوحَى اللَّه تَعالى إِلَيْهِ: يا عِمْران أَنَا جَلِيسٌ مَن ذَكَرَنِي.
31-175 According to the same documentation, God’s Prophet (S) said, “Moses - the son of Imran (a.s.) asked his Lord - the Honorable the Exalted: O Lord! Are You too far away from me to call you, or close enough to me to tell you my secrets?” The Sublime God revealed to him, “O Moses - the son of Imran! I am the companion of whoever remembers Me.”
