وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ، فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا أو أزيد، وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ، فَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سيئة مثلها أوغفر. وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي شِبْرًا ، تَقَرَّبْتُ منها ذِرَاعًا، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ منى ذِرَاعًا ، تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا، وَمَنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي ، أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً، وَمَنْ لقينى بِقُرَابِ الأَرْضِ خَطِيئَةً لايشرك به شَيْئًا ، لَقِيتُهُ بِمِثْلِهَا مَغْفِرَةً ((رَوَاهُ مُسلم)).
Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah, the Almighty, says: 'Whosoever does a good deed, will have (reward) ten times like it and I add more; and whosoever does an evil, will have the punishment like it or I will forgive (him); and whosoever approaches Me by one span, I will approach him by one cubit; and whosoever approaches Me by one cubit, I approach him by one fathom, and whosoever comes to Me walking, I go to him running; and whosoever meets Me with an earth-load of sins without associating anything with Me, I meet him with forgiveness like that". [Muslim]
