Muhammad ibn Bashshar ibn 'Uthman al-'Abdi narrated to us, Yahya—meaning ibn Sa'id—and Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated to us, from Sulayman—and he is al-Taymi—from Anas ibn Malik, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: 'When My servant draws near to Me by a handspan, I draw near to him by a cubit; and when he draws near to Me by a cubit, I draw near to him by a fathom—or a span—and when he comes to Me walking, I come to him quickly.'"
