Sahih Muslim 2766
Sahih Muslim · Book 50: The Book of Repentance · The Acceptance Of The Repentance Of The One Who Kills, Even If He Has Killed A Great Deal
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qatida with the same chain of transmitters but (with this variation of wording):
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ وَزَادَ فِيهِ " فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى هَذِهِ أَنْ تَبَاعَدِي وَإِلَى هَذِهِ أَنْ تَقَرَّبِي " .
" Allah commanded the earth (from where) he wanted to come out to move itself away and to the other earth (where he wanted to go) to draw nearer."
