﴿ فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ ﴾

“upon an imperishable tablet [inscribed].”

in a tablet suspended above the seventh heaven preserved read mahfūzin from all devils and from having any of its contents altered; it is a high as the distance between the earth and the heaven and as wide as the distance between the east and the west made of white pearls — as stated by Ibn ‘Abbās may God be pleased with both him and his father ‘Abbās
