(50) CHAPTER. What the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) mentioned and narrated of his Lord's Sayings.
Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, My Lord says, 'If My slave comes nearer to me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.'
Narrated Abu Huraira: Perhaps the Prophet mentioned the following (as Allah's Saying): If My slave comes nearer to Me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit; I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms. (See Hadith No. 502)
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said that your Lord said, Every (sinful) deed can be expiated; and the fast is for Me, so I will give the reward for it; and the smell which comes out of the mouth of a fasting person, is better in Allah's Sight than the smell of musk. (See Hadith No. 584)
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said that his Lord said: It does not befit a slave that he should say that he is better than Jonah (Yunus) bin Matta.
Narrated Shu`ba: Mu'awiya bin Qurra reported that `Abdullah bin Al-Maghaffal Al-Muzani said, I saw Allah's Apostle on the day of the Conquest of Mecca, riding his she-camel and reciting Surat-al-Fath (48) or part of Surat-al-Fath. He recited it in a vibrating and pleasant voice. Then Mu'awiya recited as `Abdullah bin Mughaffal had done and said, Were I not afraid that the people would crowd around me, I would surely recite in a vibrating pleasant voice as Ibn Mughaffal did, imitating the Prophet. I asked Muawiya, How did he recite in that tone? He said thrice, A, A , A.
