Hadith 2766
This hadith is listed as number 7010 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ ، فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى هَذِهِ أَنْ تَبَاعَدِي وَإِلَى هَذِهِ أَنْ تَقَرَّبِي .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qitada with the same chain of transmitters but (with this variation of wording): "Allah commanded the earth (from where) he wanted to come out to move itself away and to the other earth (where he wanted to go) to draw nearer."
