He said regarding the first hadith: It has a good chain of narration from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:. Al-Tirmidhi narrated it and said: It is a good hadith.
He said: "Qirab al-ard" (a fill of the earth): with a kasrah on the qaf, and with a dammah it is more common; it is what approximates its fullness... It is known among hadith scholars that it is called a hadith qudsi, and a hadith qudsi is any statement that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) attributes to his Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He) and which is not Qur'an; it is the speech of Allah, but this speech is not Qur'an that is recited.

Allah the Exalted said: O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and hope in Me, I will forgive you for what is in you, and I do not care. O son of Adam, if your sins reached the clouds of the sky and then you sought forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you came to Me with a fill of the earth in sins and then met Me not associating anything with Me, I would come to you with a fill of it in forgiveness.
قال الله - تعالى - : يا ابن آدم ، إنك ما دَعَوتَني ورَجَوتَنِي غفرتُ لك على ما كان منك ولا أبالي . يا ابن آدم لو بلغَتْ ذنوبُك عنانَ السماء ثم استغفَرْتَني غفرتُ لك . يا ابن آدم ، لو أتيتَني بقراب الأرض خطايا ثم لقيتَني لا تشرك بي شيئًا ؛ لَأتيتك بقرابها مغفرةHe said: "Qirab al-ard" (a fill of the earth): with a kasrah on the qaf, and with a dammah it is more common; it is what approximates its fullness...
