أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ إِذْ مَرَّتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا اسْمُ هَذِهِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ هَذِهِ السَّحَابُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالْمُزْنُ» قَالُوا وَالْمُزْنُ قَالَ «وَالْعَنَانَةُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «تَدْرُونَ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّ بُعْدَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِمَّا وَاحِدًا أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ وَإِمَّا ثَلَاثًا وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً وَالسَّمَاءُ فَوْقَهَا كَذَلِكَ وَاللَّهُ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ بَنِي آدَمَ شَيْءٌ وَفِي السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَوْعَالٍ بَيْنَ أَظْلَافِهِنَّ وَرُكَبِهِنَّ مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ»

✧ We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-Bathaʾ when a cloud passed by. He looked at it and said to them, “Do you know the name of this?” They said, “Yes, it is a cloud (al-saḥāb).” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “And al-muzn.” They said, “And al-muzn.” He said, “And al-ʿanānah.” Then he said, “Do you know the distance between heaven and earth?” They said, “No.” He said, “The distance between them is one, or two, or seventy-three years. And the heaven above it is like that, and Allah is above that; nothing of the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Him. And in the seventh heaven there are eight mountain goats; between their hooves and their knees is like the distance between one heaven and the next.”

    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.

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