﴿ وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ ﴾

“AND IF My servants ask thee about Me - behold, I am near; I respond to the call of him who calls, whenever he calls unto Me: let them, then, respond unto Me, and believe in Me, so that they might follow the right way.”

�So let them respond to Me�He [Sahl] said,[Let them respond] through supplication (duʿāʾ), �and believe in Me�, � that is, �Affirm Me as True (saddaqanī), for I am there whenever someone calls on Me with sincerity (mukhliṣan), without despondency (āyis) or despair (qanaṭ).�
