Yahya, sometimes mentioning the Prophet ﷺ, said, "No servant draws near to Me by a hand-span except that I draw near to him by a forearm's length, and none draws near to Me by a forearm's length except that I draw near to him by an arm's span."
حدثنا يحيى عن سليمان التيمي عن أنس
يحيى وربما ذكر النبي ﷺ قال لا يتقرب العبد إلي شبرا إلا تقربت إليه ذراعا ولا يتقرب إلي ذراعا إلا تقربت إليه باعا أو بوعا
