حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ خَالِهِ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ:

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: السَّحَابُ، قَالَ: وَالْمُزْنُ، قُلْنَا: وَالْمُزْنُ، قَالَ: وَالْعَنَانُ، قَالَ: فَسَكَتْنَا، فَقَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ؟ قُلْنَا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: بَيْنَهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَكِثَفُ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَالسَّمَاءُ السَّابِعَةُ بَيْنَ أَسْفَلِهِ وَأَعْلَاهُ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَوْعَالٍ، بَيْنَ رُكَبِهِمْ وَأَظْلَافِهِمْ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ الْعَرْشُ، وَلَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ بَنِي آدَمَ

✧ We were sitting with the Messenger of God ﷺ in al-Batha. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Do you know what this is?' He said: We said: 'The clouds.' He said: 'And the rain-clouds.' We said: 'And the rain-clouds.' He said: 'And the high clouds.' He said: We fell silent. He said: 'Do you know how much is between heaven and earth?' We said: 'God and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'Between them is a distance of five hundred years' journey, and between each heaven and the next is a distance of five hundred years' journey, and the thickness of each heaven is a distance of five hundred years' journey. The seventh heaven, between its bottom and its top, is like what is between heaven and earth. Then above that are eight mountain goats, between their knees and their hooves is like what is between heaven and earth. Then above that is the Throne, and nothing of the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Him.'

  • Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

    لا أعلم في هذا الباب حديثا مرفوعا إلا حديث عبد الله بن عميرة وهو حديث مشهور بهذا الإسناد رواه عن سماك جماعة منهم أبو خالد الدالاني وعمر وابن أبي عمرو بن أبي قيس وشعيب بن أبي خالد وابن أبي المقدام وإبراهيم بن طهمان والوليد بن أبي ثور

    machine translationI do not know of any raised (marfūʿ) ḥadīth on this topic except the ḥadīth of ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmayrah, and it is a well-known (mashhūr) ḥadīth with this chain. A group narrated it from Simāk, among them Abū Khālid al-Dālānī, ʿUmar and Ibn Abī ʿAmr b. Abī Qays, Shuʿayb b. Abī Khālid, Ibn Abī al-Miqdām, Ibrāhīm b. Ṭahmān and al-Walīd b. Abī Thawr.

  • ابن عدي

    لا يتابع عليه ورواياته غير محفوظة ويحيى بن العلاء بين الضعف على روايته وحديثه

    machine translationHe is not corroborated, and his narrations are not preserved (ghayr maḥfūẓ). Yaḥyā b. al-ʿAlāʾ is clearly weak (ḍaʿīf) in his narration and his ḥadīth.

  • Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

    فيه عن سماك اختلاف قال البخاري لا يعلم له سماع من الأحنف

    machine translationThere is disagreement about it from Simāk. al-Bukhārī said: It is not known that he heard from al-Aḥnaf.
