21.He who does a good deed will have ten times the amount of blessings, and I
[God] shall give more, but he who does an evil deed will have an equivalent
reward of evil, or I shall grant forgiveness. If anyone draws the length of a
span near Me, I shall draw the length of a cubit near him, and if anyone draws
the length of a cubit near Me, I shall draw the length of a fathom near him. If
anyone comes to Me walking I shall come to him at a run, and if anyone meets me
with sins of the size of the earth, but has not associated anything with Me, I
shall meet him a similar amount of forgiveness.

will pass as proper. But, if Salaat is found there to be despoiled, then all
other acts too will fail."
