Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) said that God the Almighty said
“There is nothing better than the performance of obligatory deeds for My servants to get to like Me. However by performing recommended prayers, he gets inclined to Me and I will love him. If I love him, I will be his ears to hear with, his eyes to see with, his tongue to speak with, and his hands to give charity with. I will then not hesitate to do what I must do, like hesitation in the death of a believer. He dislikes death, and I am unhappy about his unhappiness.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قال الله تبارك وتعالى: ما تحبب إلي عبدي بشئ أحب ألي مما افترضته عليه، وإنه ليتحبب إلي بالنافلة حتى أحبه، فإذا أحببته كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به وبصره الذي يبصر به ولسانه الذي ينطق به ويده التي أعطيته بها، وما ترددت في شئ أنا فاعله كترددي في موت المؤمن، يكره الموت وأنا أكره مساءته.
