17. Abu `Abd Allah al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ushnani al-Rzai the Judge in Balkh said: `Ali ibn Mihrwayh al-Qazwini said, on the authority of Dawud ibn Sulayman al-Farra’, on the authority of `Ali ibn Musa al-Rida , on the authority of his father, on the authority of his forefathers on the authority of `Ali that The Messenger of Allah said:

Verily, when Musa ibn `Imran whispered to his Lord saying, “O my Lord, are You far from me so I may shout to You or are You close to me so I may whisper to You?” Therefore, Allah, Lofty be His Majesty, revealed to him, “I am in the Gathering of whoever remembers Me.” So Musa asked, “O my Lord, in what state shall I remember you?” Thus, He replied, “O Musa, remember Me in every state.”
