حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ فِرَاسٍ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا وَمَنْ أَتَاهُ يَمْشِي أَتَاهُ اللَّهُ هَرْوَلَةً.

Mu'awiyah told us, Shayban told us, from Firas, from 'Atiyyah, from Abu Sa'id, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever draws near to Allah a hand's span, Allah draws near to him a forearm's length; and whoever draws near to Him a forearm's length, Allah draws near to him a fathom; and whoever comes to Him walking, Allah comes to him running."
