Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (The command of Allah, the Exalted, is) "And there will be elevated couches." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, they will be as high as the distance between the heaven and the earth, which is a journey of five hundred years.
