Abu Huraira (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: I live in the thought of my servant and I am with him as he remembers me. (The Holy Prophet ﷺ) further said: By Allah, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of his servant than what one of you would do on finding the lost camel in the water-less desert. When he draws near me by the span of his hand. I draw near him by the length of a cubit and when he draws near me by the length of a cubit. I draw near him by the length of a fathom and when he draws near me walking I draw close to him hurriedly.
