حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ
انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا فَوْقِي بِرَعْدٍ وَصَوَاعِقَ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ بُطُونُهُمْ كَالْبُيُوتِ فِيهَا الْحَيَّاتُ تُرَى مِنْ خَارِجِ بُطُونِهِمْ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ قَالَ: هَؤُلَاءِ أَكَلَةُ الرِّبَا، فَلَمَّا نَزَلْتُ وَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَهْجٍ وَدُخَانٍ وَأَصْوَاتٍ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ قَالَ: الشَّيَاطِينُ يَحْرِفُونَ عَلَى أَعْيُنِ بَنِي آدَمَ أَنْ لَا يَتَفَكَّرُوا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَرَأَيْتَ الْعَجَائِبَ

✧ I reached the seventh heaven and looked, and there I was above with thunder and lightning. Then I came upon a people whose bellies were like houses containing snakes, seen from outside their bellies. I said, 'Who are these?' He said, 'These are the eaters of usury.' When I descended and reached the lowest heaven, there I was with dust, smoke, and voices. I said, 'Who are these?' He said, 'The devils, averting the eyes of the children of Adam so that they do not reflect on the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Were it not for that, you would see wonders.'
