عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ عَجْلَانَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذِهِ قُبَّةُ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ لِلَّهِ قِبَابٌ كَثِيرَةٌ أَلَا إِنَّ خَلْفَ مَغْرِبِكُمْ هَذَا تِسْعَةٌ وَ ثَلَاثُونَ مَغْرِباً أَرْضاً بَيْضَاءَ مَمْلُوَّةً خَلْقاً يَسْتَضِيئُونَ بِنُورِهِ لَمْ يَعْصُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ مَا يَدْرُونَ خُلِقَ آدَمُ أَمْ لَمْ يُخْلَقْ يَبْرَءُونَ مِنْ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ.
301. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasity, from 'Ajlaan Abu Salih who said: A man came up to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, so he said to him, ‘May I be sacrificed for you. This here (the sky) is the dome of Adam عليه السلام?’ He replied: ‘Yes. By Allah, there are numerous domes. Indeed, behind this West of yours are thirty-nine (others) in the West, white lands filled with creatures illuminated by its light. They have never disobeyed Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, even for the blink of an eye. These creatures are not aware of the creation of Adam, but they are dissassociating themselves from so-and-so and so-and-so (Abu Bakr and Umar)’.
