Sahih Muslim 2675c (Book 48, Hadith 3) #13880
The Mercy of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah is always ready to accept the repentance of His servants and will come to them in haste when they draw close to Him.

Hammam b. Munabbih reported so many ahadith from Abu Huraira and one out of them is this that Allah's Messenger said that Allah thus stated: When My servant draws close to me by the span of a palm, I draw close to him by the space of a cubit, and when he draws close to Me by the space of a cubit, I draw close to him by the space (covered) by two hands, and when he draws close to Me by the space (covered by) two hands, I go in hurry towards him.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ إِذَا تَلَقَّانِي عَبْدِي بِشِبْرٍ تَلَقَّيْتُهُ بِذِرَاعٍ وَإِذَا تَلَقَّانِي بِذِرَاعٍ تَلَقَّيْتُهُ بِبَاعٍ وَإِذَا تَلَقَّانِي بِبَاعٍ أَتَيْتُهُ بِأَسْرَعَ

This hadith speaks about how merciful Allah is towards His servants. It tells us that if we take even one small step towards Him, He will take many steps towards us in return. This shows us how much He loves us and wants us all back with Him no matter what we have done wrong or how far away from Him we have gone. We should never forget that no matter what mistakes we make or how far away from Allah's path we stray, He is always there waiting for us with open arms ready for our return. We should also remember that it takes only one small step on our part for Allah's mercy and love for us be revealed fully upon our lives again.
