حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ، وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters, but there is no mention of these words: "He draws near Me by the space of a hand, I draw near him by the space (covered) by four hands."
