ʿUyūn akhbār al-Riḍā - Content Chapter: Traditions about Ar-Ridha (a.s.) 33 - وَبِهذَا الإِسنادِ قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُعَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: ٠ِنِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَ٠ُقَرَّبٍ، وَإِنَّ ال٠ِنَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَعْظَ٠ِن ذلِكَ؛ وَلَيْسَ شَي‏ءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ ٠31-33 According to the same documentation, God’s Prophet (S) said, “The similitude of a believer near the Honorable the Exalted God is like that of the nearby-stationed angel.

A believer has an even higher rank than that before God. Nothing is more loved by God than a repenting believing man or woman.”
