(حديث قدسي) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : " إِنْ تَقَرَّبَ عَبْدِي مِنِّي شِبْرًا ، تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ ذِرَاعًا ، وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا ، تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا ، وَإِنْ أَتَانِي مَاشِيًا ، أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says, "If My servant comes near to Me by a span, I come near to him by a cubit; and if he comes near to Me by a cubit, I come near to him by a fathom; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running."
