from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, "Allah ﷻ said: 'I am as my servant expects of me and I am with him as he remembers me.'" ˹The Prophet further said,˺ "By Allah, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than what one of you would do on finding the lost camel in the waterless desert: ˹Allah said:˺ 'When he draws near Me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. And when he draws near Me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. And when he draws near Me walking, I draw close to him running.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ: أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَيْثُ يَذْكُرُنِي۔ وَاللَّهِ لَلَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ يَجِدُ ضَالَّتَهُ بِالْفَلاَةِ۔ وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَىَّ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَىَّ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا، وَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ إِلَىَّ يَمْشِي أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ أُهَرْوِلُ۔»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , from his Lord, He said, "Your Lord says: When My servant comes to Me walking, I go to him running. When he comes to Me with a span, I approach him with an arm's length. And when he comes to Me walking, I meet him trotting."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ قَالَ يَقُولُ رَبُّكُمْ إِذَا تَلَقَّانِي عَبْدِي شِبْرًا تَلَقَّيْتُهُ ذِرَاعًا وَإِذَا تَلَقَّانِي ذِرَاعًا تَلَقَّيْتُهُ بَاعًا وَإِذَا تَلَقَّانِي يَمْشِي تَلَقَّيْتُهُ أُهَرْوِلُ  

I heard a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ say that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah Almighty said: O son of Adam, stand for Me, and I will walk to you. Walk to Me, and I will come running to you."  

سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُمْ إِلَيَّ، أَمْشِ إِلَيْكَ، وَامْشِ إِلَيَّ، أُهَرْوِلْ إِلَيْكَ.»  

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, "Allah ﷻ said: 'I am as my servant expects of me and I am with him as he remembers me.'" ˹The Prophet further said,˺ "By Allah, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than what one of you would do on finding the lost camel in the waterless desert: ˹Allah said:˺ 'When he draws near Me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. And when he draws near Me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. And when he draws near Me walking, I draw close to him running.'" (Using translation from Muslim 2675h)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَيْثُ يَذْكُرُنِي وَلَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ يَجِدُ ضَالَّتَهُ بِالْفَلَاةِ وَمَنْ يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا وَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ يَمْشِي أَقْبَلْتُ أُهَرْوِلُ  

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, "Allah ﷻ said: 'I am as my servant expects of me and I am with him as he remembers me.'" ˹The Prophet further said,˺ "By Allah, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than what one of you would do on finding the lost camel in the waterless desert: ˹Allah said:˺ 'When he draws near Me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. And when he draws near Me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. And when he draws near Me walking, I draw close to him running.'" (Using translation from Muslim 2675h)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ يَذْكُرُنِي وَللهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ يَجِدُ ضَالَّتَهُ بِالْفَلَاةِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ أُرَاهُ ضَالَّتَهُ وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ يَمْشِي أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ أُهَرْوِلُ  

[Machine] "When my servant comes to Me walking, I come to him running. And when he comes to Me with an arm's length, I come to him with a fathom's length. And when he comes to Me walking, I come to him hastening."  

اللهُ ﷻ إِذَا جَاءَنِي عَبْدِي شِبْرًا جِئْتُهُ بِذِرَاعٍ وَإِذَا جَاءَنِي بِذِرَاعٍ جِئْتُهُ بِبَاعٍ وَإِذَا جَاءَنِي يَمْشِي جِئْتُهُ أُهَرْوِلُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah, Exalted and Glorious, says: "O son of Adam, if you come to Me with an earthful of sins and meet Me without associating anything with Me in worship, I will certainly grant you as much forgiveness."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنْ دَنَوْتَ مِنِّي شِبْرًا دَنَوْتُ مِنْكَ ذِرَاعًا وَإِنْ دَنَوْتَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا دَنَوْتُ مِنْكَ بَاعًا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنْ حَدَّثْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ تَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبْتُهَا لَكَ حَسَنَةً وَإِنْ عَمِلْتَهَا كَتَبْتُهَا لَكَ عَشْرًا وَإِنْ هَمَمْتَ بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَحَجَزَكَ عَنْهَا هَيْبَتِي كَتَبْتُهَا لَكَ حَسَنَةً وَإِنْ عَمِلْتَهَا كَتَبْتُهَا سَيِّئَةً وَاحِدَةً  

"يَقُولُ اللَّه -تَعَالَى-: أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِى بِى وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ يَذْكُرُنِى -وَاللَّه- للَّه أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ يَجِدُ ضَالَّتَهُ بِالْفَلَاةِ، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَىَّ شِبْرًا، تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلْيهِ ذِرَاعًا، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَى ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا، وإِذَا أَقْبَلَ إِلَىَّ يَمْشِى أَقْبَلتُ إِلَيْهِ أُهَرْوِلُ".  

"قَال اللهُ -تَعَالى-: "يَا بْنَ آدَمَ إِنْ ذَكَرْتَنِي في نَفْسِكَ ذَكَرْتُك فِي نَفْسِي، وَإنْ ذَكَرْتَنِي فِي مَلإ ذَكرْتُكَ فِي مَلإ خَيرٍ مِنْهُم, وَإنْ دَنَوتَ مِنِّي شِبْرًا دَنَوتُ مِنْكَ ذِرَاعًا، وَإنْ دَنَوتَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا دَنَوتُ مِنْكَ بَاعًا، وَإِنْ أَتَيتَني تَمْشِي أَتَيتُكَ أُهَرْولُ".  

"قَال اللهُ -تَعَالى-: يَابْنَ آدَمَ قُمْ إِلَيَّ أَمْشِ إِلَيكَ وَامْشِ إِلَيَّ أُهَرْولْ إِلَيكَ".
