[Machine] We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in Al-Bathaa when a cloud passed by. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "Do you know what this is?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "It is a cloud." We said, "A cloud." He said, "And it is a rain cloud." We said, "And a rain cloud." He said, "And it is thunder." Then he remained silent for a while and said, "Do you know the distance between the heaven and the earth?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "The distance between them is a journey of five hundred years, and between every heaven and the heaven that follows it, there is a journey of five hundred years, and each heaven is as thick as a journey of five hundred years, and above the seventh heaven is an ocean, between its upper part and its lower part, just as there is between the heaven and the earth. And Allah is above all of that, and nothing from the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Him."
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ 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» فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ؟» فَقُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ «بَيْنَهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَكِثَفُ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ خَمْسُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَفَوْقَ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ بَحْرٌ بَيْنَ أَعْلَاهُ وَأَسْفَلِهِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ وَلَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ بَنِي آدَمَ شَيْءٌ»
