باب الْحَثِّ عَلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Sahih Muslim 2675b
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏
"‏ وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَىَّ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا ‏"
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters, but there is no mention of these words:

" He draws near Me by the space of a hand, I draw near him by the space (covered) by two hands."
