(When He comes to me walking, I go to Him in a hurry) Is this hadith considered among the hadiths of the attributes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in al-Bukhari Sahih al-Bukhari 6502, he says at the end: Sahih Muslim 2675e; is it possible to exclude this hadith from the hadiths of the attributes with evidence?
The Shaykh : There is no necessity, there is no necessity.
The questioner : ... that the servant does not draw near to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through movement.
The Shaykh : My brother, this comes from similarity. Do not forget that there is nothing like Him. If the servant does not come with movement in a hurry in reality, this does not mean that Allah does not hurry, does not walk, does not descend, or does not come, and so on. But all attributes are affirmed as we said: the attribute is established, its modality is unknown.
and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him
وما زال عبدي يتقرَّب إليَّ بالنوافل حتى أحبَّهand when he comes to me walking, I go in a hurry towards him.
فإذا أتاني يمشي أتيته هرولةThe Shaykh : There is no necessity, there is no necessity.
The questioner : ... that the servant does not draw near to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through movement.
The Shaykh : My brother, this comes from similarity. Do not forget that there is nothing like Him. If the servant does not come with movement in a hurry in reality, this does not mean that Allah does not hurry, does not walk, does not descend, or does not come, and so on. But all attributes are affirmed as we said: the attribute is established, its modality is unknown.
