On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said: Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him. It was related by al-Bukhari

عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ان الله عز وجل قال: من عادى لي وليا، فقد اذنته بالحرب، وما تقرب الي عبدي بشيء احب الي مما افترضت عليه، وما يزال عبدي يتقرب الي بالنوافل حتى احبه، فاذا احببته، كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به، وبصره الذي يبصر به، ويده التي يبطش بها، ورجله التي يمشي بها، وان سالني لاعطينه، ولين استعاذني لاعيذنه، وما ترددت عن شيء انا فاعله ترددي عن نفس عبدي المومن، يكره الموت وانا اكره مساءته رواه البخاري
