Ithbāt al-Ḥadd by al-Dashtī — Edited by ‘Ādil Āl Ḥamdān

And Yusuf bin Khalil al-Dimashqi informed us, Abu 'Abdullah bin Abi Zayd al-Karani informed us - in Isfahan -, they said: Abu Mansur Mahmud bin Isma'il al-Sayrafi informed them, Abu Ja'far said - reading to him while he was present -: Abu al-Hasan (1) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Fadhshah informed us, he said: Abu al-Qasim al-Tabarani narrated to us, he said: Muhammad bin 'Abdullah al-Hadrami narrated to us, 'Abdullah bin Abi Ziyad al-Qatawani narrated to us, Yahya bin Abi Bukayr narrated to us, Isra'il narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from 'Abdullah bin Khalifa, from 'Umar [may God be pleased with him], he said: A woman came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and said: "Supplicate to God to admit me into Paradise."

So he glorified the Lord, then said: "Indeed, His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth, and He sits upon it, and there does not remain of it but the space of four fingers.

Then he gestured with his fingers, bringing them together -, and indeed, it has a creaking like the creaking of a new saddle when it is mounted, due to His weight" (2).

This is a Sahih (Authentic) hadith; its narrators meet the condition of al-Bukhārī and Muslim.

34- And Abu 'Abdullah (3) informed us, Abu Muslim al-Mu'ayyad bin al-Ikhwa informed us - in Isfahan -,

(3) He is al-Ḍiyāʾ; he recorded it in "Al-Mukhtāra" (151) by way of Aḥmad b. ʿAlī b. al-Muthannā (who is Abū Yaʿlā) in - "His Large Musnad" - the narration of Ibn al-Muqriʾ, as in ("Al-Majmaʿ" by al-Haythamī (10/162), "Musnad al-Fārūq" by Ibn Kathīr (2/568), "Al-Tafsir" by him (1/681), and "Al-Itḥāf" by al-Būṣīrī (8356)).
