"Allah decreed the measures fifty-thousand years before He created the Heavens and the earth."

Sahih Muslim #3181A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Mansur, but he did not mention:Sahih

" On that very day He created the heavens and the earth," and he (the narrator) substituted the word" fighting" (qital) for" killing" (qatl), and further said:" No one is to pick up the dropped thing except one who makes a public announcement of it."

Sahih Muslim #6806Salman reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:Sahih

Verily, Allah created, on the same very day when He created the heavens and the earth, one hundred parts of mercy. Every part of mercy is coextensive with the space between the heavens. and the earth and He out of this mercy endowed one part to the earth and it is because of this that the mother shows affection to her child and even the beasts and birds show kindness to one another and when there would be the Day of Resurrection, Allah would make full (use of Mercy).

Sahih Muslim #6584Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As reported:Sahih

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Allah ordained the measures (of quality) of the creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, as His Throne was upon water.
