Then How Big is the Throne?
by The Albaani Blog
أُذِنَ لِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَ عَنْ مَلَكٍ مِنْ مَلَائِكَةِ اللهِ مِنْ حَمَلَةِ الْعَرْشِ، إِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ شَحْمَةِ أُذُنِهِ إِلَى عَاتِقِهِ مَسِيرَةُ سَبْعِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ
From Jaabir, may Allaah be pleased with him, from the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ, “I have been given permission to speak about an angel from Allaah’s Angels, from the Bearers of the Throne. Indeed between his earlobe and his shoulder is a distance of seven hundred years travel.”
Silislah | 152 | Sahih
As-salamu alaykum. 700 years distance by what? Is it by walking? By riding an animal? By car? Is it 700 light years? It is only by answering this question that this hadith will have a meaning. May Allah reward you.
