ahmad:9617Yaḥyá > Sulaymān al-Taymī > Anas > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] Yahya and perhaps the Prophet ﷺ mentioned that he said, "The servant does not approach me by a hand span except that I approach him by an arm's length. And the servant does not approach me by an arm's length except that I approach him by a fathom or two."

أحمد:٩٦١٧حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

يَحْيَى وَرُبَّمَا ذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَتَقَرَّبُ الْعَبْدُ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا إِلَّا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَلَا يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعًا إِلَّا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا أَوْ بُوعًا

البزّار:٢٢٢٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ

قَالَ اللَّهُ إِذَا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِي شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَإِذَا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا وَإِذَا أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ أُهَرْوِلُ
