Is the hadith << ما بين كل سماء وسماء خمس مئة عام > authentic?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh, may Allah reward you, to what extent is the hadith authentic in which it is said:
What is between each sky and the next sky ما بين كل سماء إلى سماء
...

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : And... the sky

The Shaykh : Yes, this hadith is authentic. The scholars authenticated it and accepted it, but some of the contemporary scholars rejected it based on the fact that the distance between the sky and the earth is much greater than this.

The questioner : More than five hundred years.

The Shaykh : More than five hundred years. However, it is said that what these people said is based on conjecture and estimation. If it is established with certainty, we would follow the opinion of those who said the hadith is weak. Yes, yes.
