I was sitting in al-Batha with a company among whom the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) was sitting, when a cloud
passed above them. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) looked at it and said: What do you call this? They said:
Sahab. He said: And muzn? They said: And muzn. He said: And anan? They said: And anan. AbuDawud said: I am not
quite confident about the word anan. He asked: Do you know the distance between Heaven and Earth? They replied: We
do not know. He then said: The distance between them is seventy-one, seventy-two, or seventy-three years. The heaven
which is above it is at a similar distance (going on till he counted seven heavens). Above the seventh heaven there is a sea,
the distance between whose surface and bottom is like that between one heaven and the next. Above that there are eight
mountain goats the distance between whose hoofs and haunches is like the distance between one heaven and the next.
Then Allah, the Blessed and the Exalted, is above that.

Hadith 3883 Narrated by
AbudDarda'
I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say: If any of you is suffering from anything or his
brother is suffering, he should say: Our Lord is Allah Who is in the heaven, holy is Thy name, Thy
command reigns supreme in the heaven and the earth, as Thy mercy in the heaven, make Thy mercy in the
earth; forgive us our sins, and our errors; Thou art the Lord of good men; send down mercy from Thy
mercy, and remedy, and remedy from Thy remedy on this pain so that it is healed up.

Hadith 6056
AbuSa'id al-Khudri
Narrated by
Allah's Messenger said, "There is no prophet who does not have two wazirs from the inhabitants of Heaven and two from the
inhabitants of Earth. My two wazirs from the inhabitants of Heaven are Gabriel and Michael, and my two wazirs from the
inhabitants of Earth are AbuBakr and Umar."
Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan gharib tradition.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 4.446
Abu Huraira
Narrated by
The Prophet said, "Angels keep on descending from and ascending to the Heaven in turn, some at night and some by
daytime, and all of them assemble together at the time of the Fajr and 'Asr prayers. Then those who have stayed with you
overnight ascend unto Allah Who asks them, and He knows the answer better than they, "How have you left My slaves?"
They reply, "We have left them praying as we found them praying." If anyone of you says "Amin" (during the prayer at the end
of the recitation of Surat-al-Fatiha), and the angels in Heaven say the same, and the two sayings coincide, all his past sins
will be forgiven."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 4.640
Malik bin Sasaa
Narrated by
That the Prophet talked to them about the night of his Ascension to the Heavens. He said, "(Then Gabriel took me) and
ascended up till he reached the second heaven where he asked for the gate to be opened, but it was asked, 'Who is it?'
Gabriel replied, 'I am Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' He replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he
been called?' He said, 'Yes.' When we reached over the second heaven, I saw Yahya (i.e. John) and Jesus who were
cousins. Gabriel said, 'These are John (Yahya) and Jesus, so greet them.' I greeted them and they returned the greeting
saying, 'Welcome, O Pious Brother and Pious Prophet!;' "
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 1629
AbuHurayrah
Narrated by
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "When the soul of a believer comes out, two angels meet it and take it up."
Hammad said he mentioned some of the fragrance of its odour and mentioned musk, and said, "The inhabitants of Heaven
will say, 'A good soul has come from Earth. Allah bless you and body which you inhabited!" He will then be taken to his Lord
Who will tell them to take him away till the end of the appointed time." He said, "When an infidel's soul comes out (Hammad
saying that he mentioned some of its stench and mentioned cursing), the inhabitants of Heaven say, 'A wicked soul has
come from Earth,' and they will be told to take him away till the end of the appointed time." AbuHurayrah said that Allah's
Messenger (peace be upon him) then put a seamless garment he was wearing over his nose thus.
Muslim transmitted it.
