وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أُذِنَ لِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَ عَنْ مَلَكٍ مِنْ مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ مِنْ حَمَلَةِ الْعَرْشِ أَنَّ مَا بَيْنَ شحمة أُذُنَيْهِ إِلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ مَسِيرَةُ سَبْعِمِائَةِ عَامٍ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Jabir b. `Abdallah reported God’s messenger as saying, “I have been permitted to tell about one of God’s angels who bear the Throne that the distance between the lobe of his ear and his shoulder is a journey of seven hundred years.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
