It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has permitted me to tell you about a (gigantic) rooster whose feet are on the earth and whose neck is bent beneath the Throne. It says (in glorification): 'Subhanaka, ma a'zama rabbana!' (O Allah, You are free of all imperfection; how great is our Lord!) Then Allah Almighty replies: The one who swears falsely by Me does not know this (My greatness)."
This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Technical note / Defect ('illah): Its narrators are on the whole thiqah, but concerning Mu'awiyah bin Ishaq (bin Talhah al-Taymi), although the majority held a good opinion of him, Imam Abu Zur'ah called him "shaykhun wahin" (a very weak shaykh) in "al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil" (8/ 381), which is severe criticism.
Important point: Among the students of Sa'id al-Maqburi he is alone in narrating this unusual (gharib) text, and there is also disagreement over its text, as will be mentioned below.

(1) رجاله في الجملة ثقات لكن معاوية بن إسحاق - وهو ابن طلحة التيمي - وإن حسّن القول فيه الجمهور، قال أبو زرعة كما في "الجرح والتعديل" (8/ 381 شيخٌ واهٍ. وهذا تضعيف شديد، وقد تفرد بهذا المتن الغريب من بين أصحاب سعيد المقبري، واختلف كذلك في متنه كما سيأتي.
Reference / Source: Al-Tabarani narrated it in "al-Awsat" (7324) and Abu al-Shaykh in "al-Azamah" (524 and 1248) by the route of al-Fadl bin Sahl al-A'raj from Ishaq bin Mansur al-Saluli from Isra'il al-Sabi'i with this same chain.
وأخرجه الطبراني في "الأوسط" (7324)، وأبو الشيخ في "العظمة" (524) و (1248) من طريق الفضل بن سهل الأعرج، عن إسحاق بن منصور السلولي، عن إسرائيل السبيعي، بهذا الإسناد.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Amr al-Naqid contradicted al-Fadl bin Sahl in the text; he narrated it from Ishaq bin Mansur al-Saluli (in al-Darimi's "al-Radd ala al-Marisi" 1/ 478 and Abu Ya'la 6619) (although Isra'il's name has dropped out of al-Darimi's chain).
Details of the narration: Its wording is: "Allah has permitted me to tell you about an angel whose feet have passed through the seventh earth, with the Throne upon his shoulder, and he is saying: 'Glory be to You, where are You? (or: wherever You are)'."
Important point: In this narration an angel is mentioned instead of the rooster (dik), and he is described as one of the bearers of the Throne; moreover, it does not contain the point of evidence relating to the false oath (namely: "The one who swears falsely by Me does not know this").

وخالف عمرو الناقد الفضلَ بن سهل في متنه، فرواه عن إسحاق بن منصور السلولي به عند الدارمي في الرد على المريسي 1/ 478، وأبي يعلى (6619) - لكن سقط من إسناد الدارمي إسرائيل - ولفظه: "إنَّ الله قد أذن لي أن أُحدّثكم عن ملك مَرَقَت رجلاه الأرض السابعة والعرشُ على منكبه، وهو يقول: سبحانك أين أنت، أو حيث تكون. فجعل مكان الديك ملكًا وجعله من حملة العرش، وليس فيه موضع الشاهد وهو: "ما يعلم ذلك من حلف بي كاذبًا".
Note / Clarification: Several hadiths are narrated about the rooster (dik) in Abu al-Shaykh's "al-Azamah" (3/ 1002-1009) and elsewhere, without the story of the false oath, but none of them is sahih, and some are severely weak.
وقد رُويت عدة أحاديث في ذكر الديك بنحو ما وصف به هنا دون قصة الحَلِف عند أبي الشيخ في "العظمة" (3/ 1002 - 1009 وغيره، ولا يصحّ منها شيء، وبعضها شديد الضعف.
Note / Clarification: In the manuscripts there was a distortion here and the name was mistakenly written as "al-Ataki".
