[Eujacwta]

Brothers, it would be better if you are careful and not make too much fun of things as you seem to be unaware of both the whale and the bull being mentioned in a similar context in the books of Imams of Ahl al-Sunnah, such as Ibn Katheer and al-Tabari. Among these statements are hadiths attributed to the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam.

Assalamu Alaikum

In fact, scholars have classed this (the narration of the earth being on a whale) as from Israeliyaat sources (sources from Judeo-Christian traditions) which have NOT been confirmed or proven as authentic at all. (Ibn Kathir - Al Bidaaya wal Nihaayaa¸ Volume 1 - Pg 15). Moreover:

"Please refer to the following sources and see what the scholars have said regarding the weakness and fabrication of these narrations:

Sheikh Albani, Silseelatil Al Ahaadeeth Al Da'eefa, Hadith no. 1253 & 6309
Al Dhahabi, Siyar A`laam-in-Nubulaa', Volume 4, page 61 & Volume 10, page 669
Ibn Rajab, Rasaail Ibn Rajab, Volume 3, page 138
Ibn 'Idi, Tahzheeb Al Tahzheeb, Volume 9, page 506
Ibn Hajar, Lisaan Al Meezaan, Volume 7, Hadith no. 572
Ibn Al Qaysaraani, Zhakeeratul Hufaaz, Volume 2, Hadith no. 1024

Fourthly, notice the strange difference between the narrations, some say that the Nun is a whale while the others are saying the Nun is an ink well. How can we rely on such narrations?"
