CHAPTER No: 67 Kitab at Tawheed/ Book of Monotheism
("They made Not made a Just estimate of Allah...")

Allah the Almighty said: "They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection, the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled
up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!"
(39:67)
Abdullah bin Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
A (Jewish) rabbi came to Allah's Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and he said, "O Muhammad! We learn that Allah will put all the heavens on one finger, and the earths on one finger, and the trees on one finger, and the water and the dust on one finger, and all the other created beings on one finger. Then He will say, 'I am the King"'. Thereupon the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) smiled so that his premolar teeth became visible, and that was the confirmation of the rabbi. Then Allah's Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) recited: "They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the Earth will be grasped by His
Hand." (39:67)

In Muslim, from Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) in a Marfu' Hadith, it is narrated:
"Allah will roll all the heavens up on the Day of Resurrection and take them in His Right Hand and then He will say, 'I am the King; where are the tyrants and where are the arrogant ones (today)?' He would then roll up the seven earths and take them in His Left Hand and say, 'I am the King, where are the tyrants and where are the arrogant ones (today)?' "
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) that-he said: "The seven heavens and seven earths will be as small in Allah's Hand as a seed of mustard in one of your hands."

"The Kursi (Allah's Footstool) compared to the Throne (Arsh) is nothing but like a ring of iron thrown in a vast field."

It is reported that Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The distance between first and second heaven is that of 500 years, and between each of the seven heavens is also 500 years, and the distance between seventh heaven to the Kursi (Allah's Footstool) is also 500 years, and the distance between the Kursi and the water is again 500 years. The Throne (Arsh) is above the water and Allah the Almighty is above the Throne. And nothing is hidden to Allah of your deeds."
