Musnad Abi Ya'la 3269 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Your Lord
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ بْنَ دِعَامَةَ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ : إِذَا تَقَرَّبَ الْعَبْدُ مِنِّي شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ ذِرَاعًا ، وَإِذَا تَقَرَّبَ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ بَاعًا ، وَإِذَا أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, says: When the servant draws near to Me by a hand-span, I draw near to him by a forearm's length; when he draws near to Me by a forearm's length, I draw near to him by a ba' (the span of both outstretched arms); and if he comes to Me walking, I come to him running."
