Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 17753a
"لَوْ أن رَصَاصَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ، وَأشَارَ إِلَى مِثْلِ الجُمْجُمَةِ أُرْسِلَتْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأرْضِ، وَهِيَ مَسِيَرةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَنَة لَبَلَغَتِ الأرْضَ قَبْلَ اللَّيلِ، وَلَوْ أنَّهَا أُرْسِلَتْ مِنْ رَأسِ السِّلسِلَةِ لَسَارَتْ أرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا -اللَّيلَ والنَّهَارَ- قَبْلَ أنْ تَبْلُغ أَصْلَهَا وَقَعْرَهَا".

"If a bullet like this one, and he pointed to something like a skull, were sent from the sky to the earth, and the distance is five hundred years, it would reach the earth before nightfall. And if it were sent from the head of the chain, it would travel for forty autumns, night and day, before reaching its base and its bottom."
