بَابُ الْمَجَرَّةِChapter: The Milky Way
Hadith 766
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ سَأَلَ ابْنُ الْكَوَّاء عَلِيًّا عَنِ الْمَجَرَّةِ، قَالَ: هُوَ شَرَجُ السَّمَاءِ، وَمِنْهَا فُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ بِمَاءٍ مُنْهَمِرٍ.
It is narrated from Abu Tufail (may Allah have mercy on him) that Ibn al-Kawwa asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about al-Mujarrah. He replied: It is a gate in the sky; through this gate, the sky was opened with the forceful water that rained down upon the people of Noah.
