حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، وَحَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ: إِذَا تَقَرَّبَ الْعَبْدُ مِنِّي شِبْرًا، تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ (٢) ذِرَاعًا، وَإِذَا تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي (٣) ذِرَاعًا، تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ (٤) بَاعًا، وَإِذَا أَتَانِي يَمْشِي، أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً " (٥)،
