Musnad Abi Ya'la 6713 — he said: We were sitting with the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ خَالِهِ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْبَطْحَاءِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا؟». قَالَ: قُلْنَا: السَّحَابُ. قَالَ: «وَالْمُزْنُ». قُلْنَا: وَالْمُزْنُ، قَالَ «وَالْعَنَانُ». قَالَ: فَسَكَتْنَا. فَقَالَ: «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ؟». قُلْنَا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «بَيْنَهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَكِثَفُ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَالسَّمَاءُ السَّابِعَةُ بَيْنَ أَسْفَلِهِ وَأَعْلَاهُ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَوْعَالٍ بَيْنَ رُكَبِهِمْ وَأَظْلَافِهِمْ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ الْعَرْشُ، وَلَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ بَنِي آدَمَ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at al-Batha' when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know what this is?" We said: "These are clouds (sahab)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And also muzn (rain clouds)?" We said: "And also muzn." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And also 'anan (clouds)?" The narrator says: Then we fell silent, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know how great the distance is between the heaven and the earth?" We said: "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Between the two is a distance of a journey of five hundred years, and from each heaven to the next is a distance of a journey of five hundred years, and the thickness of each heaven is a journey of five hundred years, and between the lower and upper parts of the seventh heaven there is the same distance as between the heaven and the earth. Then above that are (angels) in the form of eight mountain goats, between whose knees and hooves is a distance like that between the heaven and the earth. Then above that is the Throne, and nothing of the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Allah Almighty."
