193. It was narrated that 'Abbās bin 'Abdul-Muttalib said: "I was in Bathā' with a group of people, among whom was the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. A cloud passed over him, and he looked at it and said: 'What do you call this?' They said: 'Sahâb (a cloud).' He said: 'And Muzn (rain cloud).' They said: 'And Muzn.' He said: 'And 'Anân (clouds).' Abu Bakr said: "They said: 'And 'Anân.'" He said: 'How much (distance) do you think there is between you and the heavens?' They said: 'We do not know.' He said: 'Between you and it is seventy-one, or seventy-two, or seventy-three years, and there is a similar distance between it and the heaven above it (and so on)' until he counted seven heavens. 'Then above the seventh heaven there is a sea, between whose top and bottom is a distance like that between one heaven and another. Then above that there are eight (angels in the form of) mountain goats. The distance between their hooves and their knees is like the distance between one heaven and the next. Then on their backs is the Throne, and the distance between the top and the bottom of the Throne is like the distance between one heaven and another. Then Allâh is above that, the Blessed and Exalted." (Da'if)

193 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فِي عِصَابَةٍ، وَفِيهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ سَحَابَةٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: «مَا تُسَمُّونَ هَذِهِ؟» قَالُوا: السَّحَابُ، قَالَ: «وَالْمُزْنُ» قَالُوا: وَالْمُزْنُ، قَالَ: «وَالْعَنَانُ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: قَالُوا: وَالْعَنَانُ، قَالَ: «كَمْ تَرَوْنَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ؟» قَالُوا: لَا نَدْرِي، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهَا إِمَّا وَاحِدًا، أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ، أَوْ ثَلَاثًا وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَالسَّمَاءُ فَوْقَهَا كَذَلِكَ» ، حَتَّى عَدَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ، «ثُمَّ فَوْقَ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ بَحْرٌ، بَيْنَ أَعْلَاهُ وَأَسْفَلِهِ كَمَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ، ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَوْعَالٍ، بَيْنَ أَظْلَافِهِنَّ وَرُكَبِهِنَّ كَمَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ، ثُمَّ عَلَى ظُهُورِهِنَّ الْعَرْشُ، بَيْنَ أَعْلَاهُ وَأَسْفَلِهِ كَمَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ، ثُمَّ اللَّهُ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ، تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى»
