7-11 Abul Hassan Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Ali ibn Abdullah al-Basry in Ilaq narrated that the preacher Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Jabala quoted on authority of Abul Qasim Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Amer al-Ta’ee, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (MGB), on the authority of his father Musa ibn Ja’far (MGB), on the authority of his father Ja’far ibn Muhammad (MGB), on the authority of his father Muhammad ibn Ali (MGB), on the authority of his father Ali ibn al-Hussein (MGB), on the authority of his father Al-Hussein ibn Ali (MGB), “Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB) was in the Jamea Mosque in Kufa. A man from Syria got up and asked him several questions amongst which was the following, ‘O Commander of the Faithful! What are the colors of the seven heavens and what are their names?’ The Imam (MGB) said, ‘
The lowest heaven is called Rafi’a made of smoke and water. The second heaven is called Faydoom and it is the same color as copper. The third heaven is called Maroom and it is the same color as brass. The fourth heaven is called Arfoloon and it is the same color as silver. The fifth heaven is called Hayoon and it is the same color as gold. The sixth heaven is called Aroos and it is the same color as green chrysolite. The seventh heaven is called Ajma and it is the same color as a white pearl.’”This has been a part of a longer narration. Only a part of it has been presented here as needed.

كان علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام بالكوفة في الجامع إذ قام إليه رجل من أهل الشام فسأله عن مسائل فكان فيما سأله أن قال له: ياأمير المؤمنين أخبرني عن ألوان السماوات وأسمائها؟ فقال له: إن اسم السماء الدنيا رفيع وهي من ماء ودخان، واسم السماء الثانية فيدوم وهي على لون النحاس، والسماء الثالثة اسمها الماروم وهي على لون الشبه، والسما الرابعة اسمها أرقلون وهي على لون الفضة، والسماء الخامسة اسمها هيفون وهي على لون الذهب، والسماء السادسة اسمها عروس وهي ياقوتة خضراء، والسماء السابعة اسمها عجماء وهي درة بيضاء والحديث طويل أخذنا منه موضع الحاجة
