The Book of the Believer · Hadith 80 (#Ḥadīth #30)

80 - وعن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: يقول الله عز وجل: ما ترددت في شئ أنا فاعله كترددي على قبض روح عبدي المؤمن لأنني أحب لقاءه وهو يكره الموت، فأزويه عنه، ولو لم يكن في الأرض إلا مؤمن واحدلاكتفيت به عن جميع خلقي، وجعلت له من إيمانه انسا لا يحتاج فيه إلى أحد.

80. It has been reported that Abu Ja'far said: Allah [M.G] says: There is nothing I hesitate to do like taking the soul of My believing servant for I would love to meet him whilst he despises death; so, I conceal it from him. If there was none on the earth except one believer, he would suffice for Me instead of all My creation and I would make for him from his faith a companion so that he too would need the company of no one.
