Is the attribute of al-harwalah (hurrying) established for Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This is Ahmad al-Ahmadi. Yes, he says: Is the attribute of al-harwalah established for Allah or not? And if the answer were detailed, what are the books that discussed this topic and gave it its due?

Answer : The answer: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about Allah:
when he comes to me walking, I go in a hurry towards himأتاني يمشي أتيته هرولة
Sahih Muslim 2675e
I do not think there is anything better than this answer. And we said to you previously: It is possible that it is a reality according to its apparent meaning, and it is possible that the intended meaning is that Allah is swifter to reward than His servant is to the deed.
