وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ عَبَّادُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ: نَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ قَالَ: نَا سِمَاكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ

أَنَّهُ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا فِي الْبَطْحَاءِ فِي عِصَابَةٍ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ مَعَهُمْ، إِذْ مَرَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ سَحَابَةٌ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا اسْمُ هَذِهِ ؟، قَالُوا: نَعَمِ، السَّحَابُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ، ﷺ: " نَعَمْ، وَالْمُزْنُ وَالْعَنَانُ " ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " تَدْرُونَ كَمْ بُعْدُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ؟ "، قَالُوا: لَا وَاللهِ مَا نَدْرِي قَالَ: " بُعْدُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِمَّا وَاحِدٌ، وَإِمَّا اثْنَانِ، وَإِمَّا ثَلَاثٌ وَسَبْعُونَ سَنَةً، وَالسَّمَاءُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا كَذَلِكَ "، حَتَّى عَدَّ لَهُمْ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ كَذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " فَوْقَ السَّابِعَةِ بَحْرٌ مِنْ أَعْلَاهُ إِلَى أَسْفَلِهِ مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ، ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَوْعَالٍ مَا بَيْنَ أَظْلَافِهِنَّ إِلَى رُكَبِهِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ، وَفَوْقَ ظُهُورِهِنَّ الْعَرْشُ مَا بَيْنَ أَسْفَلِهِ وَأَعْلَاهُ مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ، وَاللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ

✧ He claimed that he was sitting in al-Batha' with a group of people, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting with them, when a cloud passed over them and they looked at it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do you know the name of this?" They said: "Yes, al-sahab (the cloud)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Yes, and al-muzn and al-'anan." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: "Do you know how much is the distance between the heaven and the earth?" They said: "No, by Allah, we do not know." He said: "The distance between them is either one, or two, or seventy-three years, and the heaven that is next to it is likewise," until he counted for them seven heavens in this manner. Then he said: "Above the seventh heaven is a sea, from its top to its bottom is like what is between one heaven and another. Then above that are eight mountain goats, the distance between their hooves and their knees is like what is between one heaven and another, and above their backs is the Throne, the distance between its bottom and its top is like what is between one heaven and another, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, is above that."
