"مَثَلُ مَا بَين نَاحِيتَي حوْضي مَثَلُ مَا بَينَ المدِينَةِ وَصَنْعَاءَ أَو مَثَل مَا بَينَ المدِينَةِ وَعُمَانَ".
“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.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَىْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ أَوْ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَمَّانَ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The distance between my two hands is like the distance between Sana'a and Al-Madina, or the distance between Al-Madina and Amman." Abd al-Wahhab said: Shakk Hisham.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلُ مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي مَثَلُ مَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ أَوْ مَثَلُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَمَّانَ قَالَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ شَكَّ هِشَامٌ
[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.
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ أَوْ مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَمَّانَ شَكَّ هِشَامٌ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said: The distance between my basin's edges is like the distance between Madinah and Sanaa, or like the distance between Madinah and Oman. He also said: Azhar is a type of white flower, and he said: And Oman."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَصَنْعَاءَ أَوْ مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعُمَانَ وَقَالَ أَزْهَرُ مِثْلُ وَقَالَ وعُمَانَ
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ رَابِعٍ قَدْ يُوهِمُ بَعْضَ الْمُسْتَمِعِينَ أَنَّهُ مُضَادٌّ لِلْأَخْبَارِ الثَّلَاثِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا قَبْلُ
There would be such a vast distance between the sides of my Cistern as it is between Sana' and Medina. (Using translation from Muslim 2303b)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَصَنْعَاءَ أَوْ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَمَّانَ»
