📖 1 min readعن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما ، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «أُذِنَ لي أنْ أُحَدِّثَ عن مَلَك مِن ملائكة الله مِن حَمَلَةِ العَرْش، إنَّ ما بين شَحْمةِ أُذُنِه إلى عاتِقِه مَسِيرةُ سبعِمائة عام».
In this Hadīth reported by Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) explained that Allah, the Almighty, allowed him to inform his Ummah (community) of the description of one of the great angels of the angels of Allah, the Exalted; one of those who carry the greatest creation, the Throne of the Most Merciful. It would take a fast horse seven hundred years to cover the distance from the angel's earlobe to the bottom of his neck.
