Sahih al-Bukhari #7251
Oneness, Uniqueness of Allah (Tawheed)
Perhaps the Prophet (ﷺ) 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)
