hakim:8699Abū ʿAbdullāh b. Isḥāq al-Khurāsānī al-ʿAdl> Aḥmad b. al-Walīd al-Faḥḥām > Rawḥ b. ʿUbādah > Ḥammād b. Salamah > ʿAlī b. Zayd > Yūsuf b. Mihrān > Ibn ʿAbbās > Qaraʾ Yawm Tashaqqaq al-Samāʾ Bi-al-Ghamām And Nuzzil al-Malāʾikah Tanzīl al-Frqān 25

[Machine] "He [Muhammad] recited, 'On the day the heaven will split asunder with clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.' [Quran 25:25] It is said that the sky of the world will split open, and the angels will descend upon every sky. The residents of the lowest sky will descend, and they will outnumber the jinn and humans on Earth. The people of Earth will ask, 'Is our Lord among you?' They will answer, 'No.' Then the inhabitants of the second sky will descend, and they will outnumber the inhabitants of the lowest sky and the people of Earth. The people of Earth will again ask, 'Is our Lord among you?' They will answer, 'No.' This process will continue with the inhabitants of the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh skies descending. Each group will outnumber the previous group, including the inhabitants of the world and the people of Earth, and the question will be repeated. Finally, the Carriers of the Throne will descend, and they will outnumber all the inhabitants of the seven heavens and the Earth. They will have necks like the necks of ostriches, with each step covering a distance of five hundred years. Their feet will be as wide as the width of the Qanaa Valley. This narration is reported by those whose authority is acceptable, except for Ali ibn Zaid ibn Jud'an al-Qurashi, but even though it is reported only from Abdullah ibn Abbas, it is still astonishing in its fulfillment." The chain of narration is strong.
