What is the meaning of the Hadith Qudsi: "If I love him, I will be his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks"?

If a Muslim performs the obligatory duties and strives in supererogatory acts, Allah will love him and become a helper to him in all his actions. Thus, his hearing, sight, striking, and walking will be by Allah's guidance and success. This does not indicate Allah's incarnation in His creation. Its end clarifies its beginning with the words of Allah Almighty: "And if he asks Me, I will surely give him; and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surely grant him refuge." It is similar to the Qudsi hadith: "My servant, I was sick, and you did not visit Me."
