 <\/p>\n

Sayyidna Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu narrated: while the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and his companions were sitting once, some clouds appeared overhead. He asked, \u201cDo you realize what this is?\u201d They said, \u201cAllah and his messenger know best.\u201d He said: \u201cthese clouds (irrigate and) water the earth. Allah drives them to a people who do not thank him and do not supplicate to him.\u201d Then he asked if they knew what was above them and on receiving an answer from the companions that only Allah and His Messenger know best, he said: \u201cThis is an elevated protective roof. It is like the sea without support.\u201d Then he asked if they knew the distance between them and it. They pleaded \u201cAllah and his messenger know best\u201d. He said, \u201cBetween you and it lies a journey of five hundred years\u201d. Again he asked them if they knew what was above that and when they pleaded that only Allah and his messenger know best, he said: \u201cabove that are two heavens, the distance between them being a journey of five hundred years till the count is seven heavens, the distance between every two being what it is between the heaven and the earth.\u201d Again he asked, \u201cDo you realize what is above that?\u201d they pleaded, \u201cAllah and his messenger know best\u201d. He said, \u201cabove that is the throne of Allah and between it and the heaven is the distance between two heavens\u201d. Then he asked, \u201cDo you realize what is underneath you\u201d? They said, \u201cAllah and his messenger know best\u201d. He said, \u201cThat is the earth, then he asked, \u201cDo you know what is underneath that\u201d? They said, \u201cAllah and his messenger know best\u201d, he said: \u201cbelow it, there is another earth and between the two is the distance of a journey of five hundred years, till the count is seven earths, between every two Earths is a journey of five hundred years.\u201d Then he said, \u201cBy him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if you will throw down a rope to the lowest earth then it will drop down to Allah.\u201d He then recited: <\/span>\u201cHe is the first and the last, and the manifest and the hidden and he is the knower of everything.\u201d (57:3) (Sunan Tirmidhi p 165 v 2)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some Scholars explain to Hadeeth that the rope would reach Allah\u2019s knowledge, his power, and his sovereignty. And his knowledge, power, and sovereignty are everywhere while he is on the throne as he has described in his book. (ibid).<\/span><\/p>\n
