Seeking the Place to Relieve Oneself and the Etiquettes of Entering and Exiting
وَ لَمَّا نَاجَى اَللَّهُ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ [عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا وَ] عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ مُوسَى: يَا رَبِّ أَ بَعِيدٌ أَنْتَ مِنِّي فَأُنَادِيَكَ أَمْ قَرِيبٌ فَأُنَاجِيَكَ فَأَوْحَى اَللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلاَلُهُ إِلَيْهِ «أَنَا جَلِيسُ مَنْ ذَكَرَنِي » فَقَالَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي أَكُونُ فِي أَحْوَالٍ أُجِلُّكَ أَنْ أَذْكُرَكَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ «يَا مُوسَى اُذْكُرْنِي عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ».
When Allah سبحانه وتعالى spoke to Musa ibn Imran عليه السلام, Musa عليه السلام asked: "O’ Lord عز وجل, are You far from me that I should call to You, or are You near that I may converse with You?" Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Glorious and Exalted, revealed to him: "I am with the one who remembers Me. " Musa عليه السلام then said: "O’ Lord عز وجل, there are circumstances in which I hold You in such reverence that I would not mention You." Allah سبحانه وتعالى said: "O’ Musa, remember Me in all circumstances."
