Jami at-Tirmidhi 2588 (Book 39, Hadith 16) #28223
The Speed of Allah's Creation

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the speed of Allah's creation and how it is incomparable to anything else.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "If a pellet like this one, and he pointed to one like Al-Jumjumah were to be dropped from the heavens to the earth – and it is the distance of traveling five hundred years it would reach the earth before the night-fall. But if it were dropped from the top of the chain it would travel for forty years, day and night, before it would reach its foundation or bottom". (Hasan)
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّمْحِ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ هِلاَلٍ الصَّدَفِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَوْ أَنَّ رُصَاصَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى مِثْلِ الْجُمْجُمَةِ أُرْسِلَتْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَهِيَ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ لَبَلَغَتِ الأَرْضَ قَبْلَ اللَّيْلِ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا أُرْسِلَتْ مِنْ رَأْسِ السِّلْسِلَةِ لَصَارَتْ أَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ أَصْلَهَا أَوْ قَعْرَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ إِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ هُوَ مِصْرِيٌّ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الأَئِمَّةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the greatness of Allah and His creations. It tells us that nothing can compare to the speed at which Allah creates things. For example, if a pellet were dropped from the heavens, it would take five hundred years to reach the earth before nightfall. However, if it were dropped from a chain, it would only take forty years to reach its foundation or bottom. This shows us that no matter how far away something may seem, with Allah’s power and strength, He can make anything happen in an instant. We should always remember this when we feel like our problems are too big for us to handle because with faith in Him we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.
