مَكْتُوبٌ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُغَيَّرْ أَنَّ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ أَ قَرِيبٌ أَنْتَ مِنِّي فَأُنَاجِيَكَ أَمْ بَعِيدٌ فَأُنَادِيَكَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا مُوسَى أَنَا جَلِيسُ مَنْ ذَكَرَنِي فَقَالَ مُوسَى فَمَنْ فِي سِتْرِكَ يَوْمَ لَا سِتْرَ إِلَّا سِتْرُكَ فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَنِي فَأَذْكُرُهُمْ وَ يَتَحَابُّونَ فِيَّ فَأُحِبُّهُمْ فَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصِيبَ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ بِسُوءٍ ذَكَرْتُهُمْ فَدَفَعْتُ عَنْهُمْ بِهِمْ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It is Written in the Torah which has not been altered, that Musa<sup>as</sup> asked his<sup>as</sup> Lord<sup>azwj</sup> saying: ‘O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! Are You<sup>azwj</sup> close to me<sup>as</sup> so I<sup>as</sup> should whisper to You<sup>azwj</sup>, or are You<sup>azwj</sup> Distant, so I<sup>as</sup> should call out (loudly) to You<sup>azwj</sup>?’ So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto him<sup>as</sup>: “O Musa<sup>as</sup>! I<sup>azwj</sup> a Companion of the one who Mentions Me<sup>azwj</sup>”. So Musa<sup>as</sup> said: ‘So who would be in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Veil on the Day in which there will be no veil except for Your<sup>azwj</sup> Veil?’ So He<sup>azwj</sup> Said: “Those who are mentioning Me<sup>azwj</sup> So I<sup>azwj</sup> am Mentioning them, and the ones who are loving (others) regarding Me<sup>azwj</sup>, So I<sup>azwj</sup> Love them. Therefore, they are those, whenever I<sup>azwj</sup> want to Hit the people of the earth with an evil, I<sup>azwj</sup> Remember them, so I<sup>azwj</sup> Repel it from them, due to them’.
