وَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى أَفَلا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى الإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ { 17 } وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ { 18 } سورة الغاشية آية 17-18 وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ
And Allah the Exalted said (in Surah Al-Ghashiyah) «أفلا ينظرون إلى الإبل كيف خلقت * وإلى السماء كيف رفعت»: "Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? And at the sky, how it is raised high?" And Ayyub narrated, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head towards the sky.
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: That he heard Allah's Apostle saying. "Then there was a pause in the revelation of the Divine Inspiration to me. Then while I was walking all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky, and I raised my sight towards the sky and saw the same angel who had visited me in the cave of Hira,' sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth."
