The Distance Between the Earth and the Sky Is a Journey of Five Hundred Years

This hadith is found on the Islamweb website, and it is:

Ibrahim bin Abi Muawiyah and Hannad bin Al-Sarri narrated to us, they said: Abu Muawiyah, on the authority of Al-A’mash, on the authority of Abu Nasr, on the authority of Abu Dharr, he said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “The distance between the earth and the heaven is a journey of five hundred years, the thickness of each heaven is five hundred years, and the distance between each heaven and the heaven that follows it is five hundred years.” A journey of five hundred years, and the earths are like that, and what is between the seventh heaven and the Throne is like all of that.”
