Sayyidina Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA) narrated: I and some other sahabah (RA) were sitting at Batha with Allah’s Messenger (SAW). A cloud passed overhead and the sahabah looked at it. Allah’s Messenger (SAW) asked them, “Do you know, its name?” They said, “Yes. It is sahab (i.e. loud).” Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “And, al-Muzn (i.e. nimbus, rain cloud).” They confirmed. “And al-Muzan.” He said, “And al-Anan (i.e. clouds). They confirmed, “And al-Anan.” Then, Allah’s Messenger (SAW) asked them, “Do you know the distance between the heaven and the earth.” They said, “No, by Allah! We do not know.” He said, “The distance between them is either seventy-one or seventy-two or seventy-three years. And the heaven above it is likewise distant.” And he enumerated the seven heavens likewise. Then he said, “Above the seventh heaven is an ocean and (the distance) between its surface and bottom is as between heaven and heaven. Above that are eight angels like mountain goats, the length between their hoof and knee is like (the distance) between heaven and heaven. Then on their backs is the Throne between whose bottom and top is like between two heavens. And Allah is above that.”
[Abu Dawud 4723, Ibn e Majah 193, Ahmed 177]
Yahya ibn Musa reported from Abdur Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Sa’d ar-Razi (Dashtaki) that his father informed him that his father informed him, saying, “I saw a man in Bukhara on a mule wearing a black turban which, he said, Allah’s Messenger (SAW) had put on him."
[Abu Dawud 4038]
