وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ : " إِذَا تَلَقَّانِي عَبْدِي بِشِبْرٍ ، تَلَقَّيْتُهُ بِذِرَاعٍ ، وَإِذَا تَلَقَّانِي بِذِرَاعٍ ، تَلَقَّيْتُهُ بِبَاعٍ ، وَإِذَا تَلَقَّانِي بِبَاعٍ ، جِئْتُهُ بِأَسْرَعَ " .
And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah the Exalted has said: Whenever a servant comes near to Me by a handspan, I come near to him by a cubit; if he comes near to Me by a cubit, I come near to him by the length of a fathom; and if he comes to Me walking, I come to him running.
