Jubayr bin Mutim reported,

An Arabi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, our souls are worn out, our families are ruined, our wealth is depleted, and our livestock have perished. So pray to Allah for rain on our behalf. We seek your intercession with Allah, and we seek Allah's intercession with you."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Woe to you! Do you know what you are saying?"Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ glorified Allah, and he kept on glorifying Him until the effect of that was recognized on the faces of his companions. Then he said, "Woe to you! Allah's intercession is not sought with any of His creation. Allah's status is far greater than that. Woe to you! Do you know what Allah is? His Throne is above His heavens like this," and he gestured with his fingers forming the shape of a dome over him, "and it groans under Him as a saddle groans under its rider."Ibn Bashshar said in his version, "Allah is above His Throne, and His Throne is above His heavens," and he continued the hadith.Abdul-Ala, Ibn al-Muthanna, and Ibn Bashshar reported it from Yaqub bin Utbah and Jubayr bin Muhammad bin Jubayr, from his father, from his grandfather.

حدثنا عبد الأعلى بن حماد ومحمد بن المثنى ومحمد بن بشار وأحمد بن سعيد الرباطي قالوا حدثنا وهب بن جرير قال أحمد كتبناه من نسخته وهذا لفظه قال حدثنا أبي قال سمعت محمد بن إسحق يحدث عن يعقوب بن عتبة

عن جبير بن محمد بن جبير بن مطعم عن أبيه عن جده قال

أتى رسول الله ﷺ أعرابي فقال يا رسول الله جهدت الأنفس وضاعت العيال ونهكت الأموال وهلكت الأنعام فاستسق الله لنا فإنا نستشفع بك على الله ونستشفع بالله عليك قال رسول الله ﷺ ويحك أتدري ما تقول وسبح رسول الله ﷺ فما زال يسبح حتى عرف ذلك في وجوه أصحابه ثم قال ويحك إنه لا يستشفع بالله على أحد من خلقه شأن الله أعظم من ذلك ويحك أتدري ما الله إن عرشه على سماواته لهكذا وقال بأصابعه مثل القبة عليه وإنه ليئط به أطيط الرحل بالراكب قال ابن بشار في حديثه إن الله فوق عرشه وعرشه فوق سماواته وساق الحديث و قال عبد الأعلى وابن المثنى وابن بشار عن يعقوب بن عتبة وجبير بن محمد بن جبير عن أبيه عن جده
