Hadith 10215

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ مَرَّتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَقَالَ ((أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا)) قَالَ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((الْعَنَانُ وَرَوَايَا الْأَرْضِ يَسُوقُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى مَنْ لَا يَشْكُرُهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَلَا يَدْعُونَهُ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذِهِ فَوْقَكُمْ)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((الرَّقِيعُ مَوْجٌ مَكْفُوفٌ وَسَقْفٌ مَحْفُوظٌ أَتَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهَا)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الَّتِي فَوْقَهَا)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((سَمَاءٌ أُخْرَى أَتَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهَا)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ)) حَتَّى عَدَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ ((أَتَدْرُونَ مَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((الْعَرْشُ أَتَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ)) ثُمَّ قَالَ ((أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا تَحْتَكُمْ)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((أَرْضٌ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا تَحْتَهَا)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((أَرْضٌ أُخْرَى أَتَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهَا)) قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ ((مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ)) حَتَّى عَدَّ سَبْعَ أَرَضِينَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ((وَأَيْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْ دَلَّيْتُمْ أَحَدَكُمْ بِحَبْلٍ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ السُّفْلَى السَّابِعَةِ لَهَبَطَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ}))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a cloud passed by. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you know what this is? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a cloud, and it gives water to the earth. Allah sends it towards those of His servants who neither thank Him nor call upon Him. Well, do you know what is above it? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sky, it is a wave that has been stopped and is a protected roof. Do you know how much distance there is between it and you? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A distance of five hundred years. Do you know what is above that? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Another sky. Do you know how much distance there is between this sky and that sky? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A distance of five hundred years. In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) counted seven skies. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know what is above the seventh sky? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Throne (‘Arsh). Do you know how much distance there is between the Throne and the seventh sky? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A distance of five hundred years. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Well, do you know what is beneath you? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The earth. Well, do you know what is beneath that? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Another earth. Do you know what is beneath that? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Another earth. Do you know how much distance there is from this earth to that earth? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A distance of five hundred years. In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) counted seven earths. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And by Allah, if you were to hang a rope down to the seventh earth, it would reach the seventh earth. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: “He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is, of all things, Knowing.” (Surah Al-Hadid: 3)
