Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 284

وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - أَنَّهُ قَالَ : مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ ، وَمَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ سَمَاءَيْنِ خَمْسُمِائَةِ عَامٍ ، وَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْكُرْسِيِّ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ ، وَمَا بَيْنَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَالْمَاءِ خَمْسُمِائَةِ عَامٍ ، وَالْعَرْشُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ ، وَاللَّهُ - جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ - عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ، يَعْلَمُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ . وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَ بَقِيَّةُ هَذَا فِي بَابِ التَّفَكُّرِ فِي اللَّهِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Between the lowest heaven and the one after it is a distance of five hundred years' journey, and between every two heavens is a distance of five hundred years' journey. Between the seventh heaven and the Kursi (Footstool) is a distance of five hundred years, and between the Kursi and the water is a distance of five hundred years. The Throne is above the water, and Allah Almighty is above the Throne, and still He knows (everything) about you.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih. The rest of it has already passed in the chapter on reflecting about Allah Almighty.
