حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ، وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ بِالْفُسْطَاطِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللهِ شِبْرًا، تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللهِ ذِرَاعًا، تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا، وَمَنْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى اللهِ مَاشِيًا، أَقْبَلَ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ مُهَرْوِلًا، وَاللهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ " (١)، ،
