Hadith 78

e Directed Himself to the sky and it was a smoke, [41: 11], from that water which He-azwj had Grown it from those oceans. He Made it as seven layers with His-azwj Words which no one knows apart from Him-azwj. And He-azwj Made dwellers from the Angels to be in every sky. He-azwj Created them as infallible from the light of the freshwater oceans, and it is an ocean of Mercy, and Made their taste as being the Glorification, and extollations of the Oneness and the Holiness. When He-azwj had Decreed His-azwj Command and had Created it, He-azwj established upon His‑azwj kingdom. It praised just as it is befitting for Him-azwj to be praised. Then He‑azwj Determined His-azwj kingdom, so He-azwj Made hanging meteors in every sky, planets like the lamps hanging from the Masjids. No one can count these apart from Him-azwj, Blessed and Exalted, and a star from the stars of the sky is like a large city in the earth. Then He-azwj Created the sun and the moon. He-azwj Made them as two suns. If He-azwj, the Blessed and Exalted, had left them just as they had been in their beginning during the first time, His-azwj creatures would have neither recognised the night from the day, nor recognise the months and the years, nor recognise the winter from the summer, nor recognise the spring from the autumn, nor would the companions of debt have known when their debts would be resolved, nor would the worker have known when he should be going regarding his livelihood, and when he should settle to rest his body.

He-as touched it with his-as wing, and the rays and the light went away from it, and the illumination was left in it. So that is His-azwj Word: And We Made the night and the day as two Signs, then We Erased the Sign of the night and We Made the Sign of the day to be visible, for you to seek Grace from your Lord and for you to know the number of the years and the calculation. And all things, We have Explained it in detail [17: 12]. He Made these two to flow in the orbit, and the orbit in as ocean in what is between the sky and the earth, oblong in the sky. It’s length is of three Farsakhs flowing in the immersion of the sun and the moon. Each one of the two is upon a term. Three hundred Angels are guiding it. In the hand of each Angel from them is a handle dragging it in the immersion of that ocean. For them is recitation with the extollations of the Oneness, and the glorifications, and the Holiness. Even if one of the two were to protrude from the immersion of that ocean, everything upon the surface of the earth would burn down, even the mountains, and the rocks, and Whatever thing Allah-azwj has Created. When Allah-azwj Created the skies, and the earth, and the night, and the day, and the stars, and t
