There would be such a vast distance between the sides of my Cistern as it is between Sana' and Medina.  

مسلم:٢٣٠٣b – وَحَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ التَّيْمِيُّ وَهُرَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

“The distance between the two ends of my Cistern is like the distance between San’a and Al-Madinah,’ or ‘between Al-Madinah and ‘Amman.’”  

ابن ماجة:٤٣٠٤ – حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَىْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ أَوْ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَمَّانَ

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "The distance between my two sides is like the distance between Sana'a and Madinah, or like the distance between Madinah and Amman." Hisham was doubtful.  

أحمد:١٣٢٩٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ أَوْ مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَمَّانَ شَكَّ هِشَامٌ  

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ الطُّوَلِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ بَيْنَ حَافَتَيْ حَوْضِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْرَدَنَا اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ بِفَضْلِهِ

ابن حبّان:٦٤٤٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُرَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى وَعَاصِمُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ»  

ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ رَابِعٍ قَدْ يُوهِمُ بَعْضَ الْمُسْتَمِعِينَ أَنَّهُ مُضَادٌّ لِلْأَخْبَارِ الثَّلَاثِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا قَبْلُ
