Hadith 116:55
Ahmad narrated to us, Hajjaj ibn Muhammad narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to me, he said: I heard Qatadah ibn Di'amah narrating from Anas that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Your Lord says: If the servant draws near to Me by a span, I draw near to him by a cubit; and if he draws near to Me by a cubit, I draw near to him by an arm's span; and if he comes to Me walking, I come to him rushing."
حدثنا أحمد حدثنا حجاج بن محمد قال حدثني شعبة قال سمعت قتادة بن دعامة يحدث عن أنس أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال قال ربكم * إذا تقرب العبد مني شبرا تقربت ذراعا وإذا تقرب ذراعا تقربت باعا وإذا أتاني يمشي أتيته هرولة
