4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from abu Hamza al-Thumali from abu Ja’far  who has said the following: “It is written in the Torah that is not changed that once Moses asked his Lord, ‘O Lord, are You near me so I may whisper to You or far from me so I call You?’ Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, sent him inspiration that said, ‘O Moses, I am in a face-to-face meeting with anyone who speaks of Me.’ Moses then said, ‘Who is in Your hiding (shelter and protection) on the day when there is no hiding except Your’s?’ He (Allah) then said, ‘Those who remember Me 1 then remember them. Those who love just because of Me, I love them. It is because of these beloved people that when I will to afflict the people of the earth with evil I remember them (beloved people) and spare them (people of earth) through them (beloved people).’”
