قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الزِّمَّانِيُّ، ثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَعَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« دُونَ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ حِجَابٍ مِنْ نُورٍ وَظُلْمَةٍ، وَمَا تَسْمَعُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا مِنْ حِسِّ تِلْكَ الْحُجُبِ إِلَّا زَهَقَتْ نَفْسُهَا
