حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ، سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ الْهَرَوِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ، قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا تَقَرَّبَ الْعَبْدُ إِلَىَّ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا، وَإِذَا تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا، وَإِذَا أَتَانِي مَشْيًا أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
আনাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাঁর প্রতিপালক থেকে বর্ণনা করেন। তিনি বলেনঃ আমার বান্দা যখন আমার দিকে এক বিঘত নিকটবর্তী হয়, আমি তখন তার দিকে এক হাত নিকটবর্তী হই। আর সে যখন আমার দিকে এক হাত নিকটবর্তী হয়, আমি তখন তার দিকে দু’হাত নিকটবর্তী হই। সে যদি আমার দিকে হেঁটে আসে আমি তার দিকে দৌড়ে যাই। (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৭০১৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
