    وَعَن العبَّاس بن عبد الْمطلب زعم أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا فِي الْبَطْحَاءِ فِي عِصَابَةٍ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ فِيهِمْ فَمَرَّتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا تُسَمُّونَ هَذِهِ؟» . قَالُوا: السَّحَابَ. قَالَ: «وَالْمُزْنَ؟» قَالُوا: وَالْمُزْنَ. قَالَ: «وَالْعَنَانَ؟» قَالُوا: وَالْعَنَانَ. قَالَ: «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا بعد مابين السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ؟ » قَالُوا: لَا نَدْرِي. قَالَ: «إِنَّ بُعْدَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِمَّا وَاحِدَةٌ وَإِمَّا اثْنَتَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٌ وَسَبْعُونَ سَنَةً وَالسَّمَاءُ الَّتِي فَوْقَهَا كَذَلِكَ» حَتَّى عَدَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ. ثُمَّ «فَوْقَ السَّمَاء السَّابِعَة بَحر بَين أَعْلَاهُ وأسفله مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانِيَة أَو عَال بَيْنَ أَظْلَافِهِنَّ وَوُرُكِهِنَّ مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ ثُمَّ عَلَى ظُهُورِهِنَّ الْعَرْشُ بَيْنَ أَسْفَلِهِ وَأَعْلَاهُ مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ ثُمَّ اللَّهُ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد

    Al- `Abbas b. `Abd al-Muttalib asserted that he was sitting in al Batha'[*] with a company among whom God’s messenger was sitting when a cloud passed. They looked at it and God’s messenger asked, “What do you call this?” and received the reply “Clouds ( sahab ).” He said, “And rain-clouds ( muzn ),” to which they agreed. He said, “And clouds ( `aman ),” to which they agreed. He asked, “Do you know the distance between heaven and earth?” and when they replied that they did not, he said, “The distance between them is seventy-one, seventy-two, or seventy-three years, the heaven which is above it is at a similar distance (going on till he counted seven heavens). Above the seventh heaven there is a sea the distance between whose surface and bottom is like that between one heaven and the next. Above that there are eight mountain goats the distance between whose hoofs and haunches is like that between one heaven and the next. On their backs is the Throne the extent of which from top to bottom is like the distance between one heaven and the next. Then God is above that.” *A stony valley at Mecca. Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it.

    عَن أبي رزين قَالَ: قلت: يَا رَسُول الله أَيْن رَبُّنَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ خَلْقَهُ؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ فِي عَمَاءٍ مَا تَحْتَهُ هَوَاءٌ وَمَا فَوْقَهُ هَوَاءٌ وَخَلَقَ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ: الْعَمَاءُ: أَيْ لَيْسَ مَعَه شَيْء

    Abu Razin told that he asked God’s messenger, “Where was our Lord before He created the creation?” to which he replied, “He was in obscurity ( ‘ama’ ) with no air below Him and no air above Him, and He created His Throne on the water.” Tirmidhi transmitted it. Yazid b. Harun[1] said `ama’ means that there was nothing with Him[2]. Al-Wasiti (d.206), a highly estimated authority who appears in the course of the isnad . The word ‘ama’ presents difficulty. It commonly means `clouds’, but this is felt to be inappropriate here unless figuratively in the sense of God being veiled. It is suggested that this means it is a matter which the mind cannot grasp. Cf. Mirqat , 5:349.

    وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كَمُلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النساءِ إِلا مريمُ بنتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

    Abu Musa reported the Prophet as saying, “Many men have been perfect, but among women only Mary the daughter of `Imran and Asiya the wife of Pharaoh were perfect; and `A’isha’s superiority over women is like the superiority of tharid over other kinds of food.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    He reported God’s messenger as saying, “I am the nearest of kin to Jesus, son of Mary in this world and the next. The prophets are brothers, sons of one father by co-wives. Their mothers are different, but their religion is one[*]. There has been no prophet between us.” *This saying is explained as meaning that all prophets have the same religion, which is figuratively called their lather, but they differ in their law and in a number of regulations, these being figuratively called their mothers. Cf. Mirqat , 5:346. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    He reported God’s messenger as telling that Solomon said, “I shall to-night visit ninety women (a version has a hundred) all of whom will give birth to a horseman who will fight in God’s path.” The angel told him to say, “If God will,” but he forgot and did not say it. He visited them and none of them bore a child except one of them who gave birth to half a man. He added, “By Him in whose hand Muhammad’s soul is, if he had said, `If God will,’ they would all have striven as horsemen in God’s path.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    He reported the Prophet as saying, “There were two women both of whom had a son, and a wolf went off with the son of one of them. Her companion said, `It has gone off with your son,’ but the other replied, `It is with your son it has gone off.’ They took the case before David and he decided that the child belonged to the elder. They then went out to Solomon, son of David and told him, and he said, `Bring me, a knife and let me divide it between you.’ The younger woman then said, `Don’t do it, God have mercy on you; He is her son.’ So, he decided that the child belonged to the younger woman.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Abu Huraira reported the Prophet as saying, “Recitation of Scripture was made easy for David, who would order his beasts to be saddled and recite the Scripture before they had been saddled; and he would eat only what his hands had earned.” Bukhari transmitted it.

    Ibn `Abbas said: We travelled with God’s messenger between Mecca and Medina, and when we passed a wadi he asked its name. On being told it was the wadi al-Azraq he said, “I can fancy myself looking at Moses (and he mentioned something about his colour and his hair) putting two fingers in his ears, making loud supplication to God saying, `At Thy service,’ while passing this wadi .” He said: We journeyed till we came to a mountain pass and he asked its name. On being told that it was Harsha, or Lift, he said, “I can fancy myself looking at Jonah on a red she-camel with a nose-rein of palm fibre, wearing a woolen mantle and saying `At Thy service’ while passing this wadi . Muslim transmitted it.
