وَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، نَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ:

سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقِيلَ: أَرَأَيْتَ الْأَرْضَ عَلَى مَا هِيَ ؟ فَقَالَ: الْأَرْضُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ، فَقِيلَ: الْمَاءُ عَلَى مَا هُوَ ؟ فَقَالَ: عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، فَقِيلَ: الصَّخْرَةُ عَلَى مَا هِيَ ؟ قَالَ: عَلَى ظَهْرِ حُوتٍ يَلْتَقِي طَرَفَاهُ بِالْعَرْشِ، قِيلَ: فَالْحُوتُ عَلَى مَا هُوَ ؟ فَقَالَ: عَلَى كَاهِلِ مَلَكٍ قَدَمَاهُ فِي الْهَوَاءِ
