"The Messenger of Allah said: Allah, the Most High, said: If My slave loves to meet Me, I love to meet him, and if he hates to meet Me, I hate to meet him."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1835)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدِي لِقَائِي أَحْبَبْتُ لِقَاءَهُ وَإِذَا كَرِهَ لِقَائِي كَرِهْتُ لِقَاءَهُ  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not recite praises to my Lord that I have praised Him with?" He said, "Indeed, your Lord loves praises, and that has increased me in that."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أَنْشُدُكَ مَحَامِدَ حَمِدْتُ بِهَا رَبِّي؟ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يُحِبُّ الْمَحَامِدَ وَمَا اسْتَزَادَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I said, "Indeed, there are two characteristics in you that Allah loves." I asked, "What are they?" He said, "Forbearance and modesty." I asked, "Were they present in you earlier or more recent?" He replied, "No, they have always been there." I said, "All praise is due to Allah who has made me possess these two characteristics that Allah loves."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ فِيكَ خُلُقَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللهُ» قُلْتُ مَا هُمَا؟ قَالَ «الْحِلْمُ وَالْحَيَاءُ» قَالَ أَقَدِيمًا كَانَا أَوْ حَدِيثًا؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ قَدِيمًا» قُلْتُ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى خُلُقَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللهُ»
