On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said
that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: Allah the
Almighty said:
I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me.
If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and
if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an
assemble better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw
near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at
speed.
It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).
Imam Nawawi's 40 Hadith Qudsi

Hadith Qudsi 25:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said
that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:
Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him.
My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the
religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw
near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him
I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand
with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask
[something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for
refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much
as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death
and I hate hurting him.
It was related by al-Bukhari.
Imam Nawawi's 40 Hadith Qudsi

*White Elephants * <http://www.prc.org.uk/data/aspx/d5/3795.aspx>
The King of Siam knew how to deal with domestic opponents: he would present
them with a white elephant. White elephants are rare in nature, and
therefore sacred. Being sacred, they may not be put to work. But even a
sacred elephant does eat, and eat a lot. Enough to turn a rich man into a
pauper.
