[Machine] We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Al-Bat'ha when a cloud passed by. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know what this is?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "It is a cloud." We said, "Cloud!" He said, "And the Muzn." We said, "And the Muzn!" He said, "And the 'Anan." We said, "And the 'Anan!" Then he fell silent, and after a while, he said, "Do you know how much is between the sky and the earth?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Between them is a distance of five hundred years of traveling, and between each sky and the sky that follows it is a distance of five hundred years of traveling, and each sky is as thick as five hundred years of traveling. Above the seventh sky, there is an ocean between its upper and lower extremity, just as there is between the sky and the earth. Then, above that, there are eight layers as wide as the distance between a rider's knees and his ears, just as there is between the sky and the earth. And Allah, the Most High, is above that, and nothing of the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Him."
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَمَرَّتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا؟» فَقُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ «السَّحَابُ» فَقُلْنَا السَّحَابُ فَقَالَ «وَالْمُزْنُ» فَقُلْنَا وَالْمُزْنُ فَقَالَ «وَالْعَنَانُ» فَقُلْنَا وَالْعَنَانُ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ؟» فَقُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «بَيْنَهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةٍ وَكِثَفُ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَفَوْقَ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ بَحْرٌ بَيْنَ أَعْلَاهُ وَأَسْفَلِهِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَوْعَالٍ بَيْنَ رُكَبِهِمْ وَأَظْلَافِهِمْ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ بَنِي آدَمَ شَيْءٌ»
