The Prophet ﷺ said, "The width between the two shoulders of a Kafir (disbeliever) will be equal to the distance covered by a fast rider in three days."  

البخاري:٦٥٥١ – حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا الْفُضَيْلُ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ مَنْكِبَىِ الْكَافِرِ مَسِيرَةُ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ لِلرَّاكِبِ الْمُسْرِعِ
