bukhari:7536Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥīm > Abū Zayd Saʿīd b. al-Rabīʿ al-Harawī > Shuʿbah > Qatādah > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ said, "My Lord says, 'If My slave comes nearer to me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "  

البخاري:٧٥٣٦حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ الْهَرَوِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ قَالَ إِذَا تَقَرَّبَ الْعَبْدُ إِلَىَّ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَإِذَا تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا وَإِذَا أَتَانِي مَشْيًا أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً  

bukhari:7537Musaddad > Yaḥyá > al-Taymī > Anas b. Mālik > Abū Hurayrah

Perhaps the Prophet ﷺ mentioned the following (as Allah's Saying): "If My slave comes nearer to Me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit; I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms. (See Hadith No. 502)  

البخاري:٧٥٣٧حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

رُبَّمَا ذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا تَقَرَّبَ الْعَبْدُ مِنِّي شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ ذِرَاعًا وَإِذَا تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا أَوْ بُوعًا وَقَالَ مُعْتَمِرٌ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا {عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ} عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ  

bukhari:7538Ādam > Shuʿbah > Muḥammad b. Ziyād > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said that your Lord said, "Every (sinful) deed can be expiated; and the fast is for Me, so I will give the reward for it; and the smell which comes out of the mouth of a fasting person, is better in Allah's Sight than the smell of musk." (See Hadith No. 584)  

البخاري:٧٥٣٨حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّكُمْ قَالَ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ كَفَّارَةٌ وَالصَّوْمُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَلَخَلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

bukhari:7539Ḥafṣ b. ʿUmar > Shuʿbah > Qatādah > Lī Khalīfah > Yazīd b. Zurayʿ > Saʿīd > Qatādah > Abū al-ʿĀliyah > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Prophet ﷺ said that his Lord said: "It does not befit a slave that he should say that he is better than Jonah (Yunus) bin Matta.  

البخاري:٧٥٣٩حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَقَالَ لِي خَلِيفَةُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ قَالَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى وَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ  

bukhari:7540Aḥmad b. Abū Surayj > Shabābah > Shuʿbah > Muʿāwiyah b. Qurrah > ʿAbdullāh b. Mughaffal al-Muzanī

Mu'awiya bin Qurra reported that ʿAbdullah bin Al-Maghaffal Al-Muzani said, "I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of the Conquest of Mecca, riding his she-camel and reciting Surat-al-Fath (48) or part of Surat-al-Fath. He recited it in a vibrating and pleasant voice. Then Mu'awiya recited as ʿAbdullah bin Mughaffal had done and said, "Were I not afraid that the people would crowd around me, I would surely recite in a vibrating pleasant voice as Ibn Mughaffal did, imitating the Prophet." I asked Muawiya, "How did he recite in that tone?" He said thrice, "A, A , A."  

البخاري:٧٥٤٠حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنَا شَبَابَةُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ أَوْ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْفَتْحِ قَالَ فَرَجَّعَ فِيهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَحْكِي قِرَاءَةَ ابْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَرَجَّعْتُ كَمَا رَجَّعَ ابْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ يَحْكِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ تَرْجِيعُهُ قَالَ آ آ آ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ
