ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ قَدْرَ شِبْرٍ أَوْ ذِرَاعٍ بِالطَّاعَةِ كَانَتِ الْوَسَائِلُ وَالْمَغْفِرَةُ أَقْرَبُ مِنْهُ بِبَاعٍ

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , regarding what he narrated from Allah, the Mighty and the Exalted, he said: "Pride is my cloak, and greatness is my waistcloth. Whoever contends with me in either of them, I shall throw him into the fire. And whoever comes close to me by a handspan, I come close to him by an arm's length. And whoever comes close to me by an arm's length, I come close to him by a fathom. And whoever comes to me walking, I hasten towards him. And whoever hastens towards me, I rush towards him. And whoever mentions me within himself, I mention him within myself. And whoever mentions me in a gathering, I mention him in a gathering better and more numerous than them, and it is purer."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَحْكِي عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي وَالْعَظَمَةُ إِزَارِي فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي فِي وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا قَذَفْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ وَمَنِ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا اقْتَرَبْتُ مِنْهُ ذِرَاعًا وَمَنِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا اقْتَرَبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا وَمَنْ جَاءَنِي يَمْشِي جِئْتُهُ أُهَرْوِلُ وَمَنْ جَاءَنِي يُهَرْوِلُ جِئْتُهُ أَسْعَى وَمَنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي وَمَنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلَأٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي مَلَأٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَطْيَبَ»
