The word(s) "near" appears 67 time(s) in 63 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(51) Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer,

(52) Reclining upon couches lined with silk brocade, the fruit of both the gardens near to hand.

(53) - And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -

(54) That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.

(55) Then some of them drew near unto others, self-reproaching.

(56) Lo! thy Lord knoweth how thou keepest vigil sometimes nearly two-thirds of the night, or (sometimes) half or a third thereof, as do a party of those with thee. Allah measureth the night and the day. He knoweth that ye count it not, and turneth unto you in mercy. Recite, then, of the Qur'an that which is easy for you. He knoweth that there are sick folk among you, while others travel in the land in search of Allah's bounty, and others (still) are fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite of it that which is easy (for you), and establish worship and pay the poor-due, and (so) lend unto Allah a goodly loan. Whatsoever good ye send before you for your souls, ye will find it with Allah, better and greater in the recompense. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

(57) nearer unto thee and nearer,

(58) Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).

(59) Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).

(60) A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
