Hadith text

Original Arabic

وعن أبي ذر رضي الله عنه ، قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ،صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

‏إنى أرى ما لا ترون؛ أطت السماء وحق لها أن تئط، ما فيها موضع أربع أصابع إلا وملك واضع جبهته ساجداً لله تعالى، والله لو تعلمون ما أعلم، لضحكتم قليلاً، ولبكيتم كثيراً، وما تلذذتم بالنساء على الفرش، ولخرجتم إلى الصعدات تجأورن إلى الله تعالى‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ و‏ ‏أطت‏ ‏ بفتح الهمزة وتشديد الطاء‏ و‏ ‏تئط‏ ‏ بفتح التاء وبعدها همزة مكسورة، والأطيط‏:‏ صوت الرحل والقتب وشبههما، ومعناه‏:‏ أن كثرة من في السماء من الملائكة العابدين قد أثقلتها حتى أطت‏.‏

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I see what you do not see and I hear what you do not hear; heaven has squeaked, and it has right to do so. By Him, in Whose Hand my soul is, there is not a space of four fingers in which there is not an angel who is prostrating his forehead before Allah, the Exalted. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little, weep much, and you would not enjoy women in beds, but would go out to the open space beseeching Allah". [At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan].
