It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says, "Whoever comes near to Me by a span, I come near to him by a hand's length; and whoever comes near to Me by a hand's length, I come near to him by a cubit; and whoever comes to Me walking, I come to him running." And Allah Almighty is Most Great and Most Exalted.
