٥٩۔٢ باب مَا جَاءَ فِي سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ

[Machine] And the saying of Allah the Most High: "It is Allah who created seven heavens and of the earth the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge." "And [by] the heaven raised high." The sky, "With a thickness." Its construction, there was an animal in it. "The curvature" is its inclination and its beauty. "And the ears" it heard and obeyed. "And she cast out" she expelled what was in it of the dead, "and she released" she abandoned them. "And He leveled" He smoothed it. "The wakeful" is the surface of the earth, there was an animal in it, their sleep and their wakefulness.

وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا}، {وَالسَّقْفِ الْمَرْفُوعِ} السَّمَاءُ. {سَمْكَهَا} بِنَاءَهَا، كَانَ فِيهَا حَيَوَانٌ. الْحُبُكُ اسْتِوَاؤُهَا وَحُسْنُهَا {وَأَذِنَتْ} سَمِعَتْ وَأَطَاعَتْ. {وَأَلْقَتْ} أَخْرَجَتْ مَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْمَوْتَى، {وَتَخَلَّتْ} عَنْهُمْ. {طَحَاهَا} دَحَاهَا. السَّاهِرَةُ وَجْهُ الأَرْضِ، كَانَ فِيهَا الْحَيَوَانُ نَوْمُهُمْ وَسَهَرُهُمْ.

from Abu Salama bin ʿAbdur-Rahman who had a dispute with some people on a piece of land, and so he went to ʿAisha and told her about it.

البخاري:٣١٩٥حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ خُصُومَةٌ فِي أَرْضٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرَ لَهَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ

يَا أَبَا سَلَمَةَ اجْتَنِبِ الأَرْضَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ ظَلَمَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ

That Arwa sued him before Marwan for a right, which she claimed, he had deprived her of. On that Saʿid said, "How should I deprive her of her right?
