What is the meaning of "farther than between the east"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Between the east?

Answer:
This is a form of indication, and that the east has a counterpart, which is the west. The Lawgiver may suffice with one of the two opposites in place of the other, such as:
garments which protect you from the heatسَرَابِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ الْحَرَّ
[Surat al-Nahl:81], meaning: and the cold. Therefore, in the narration of Muslim:
farther than the distance between the east and the westأبعد مما بين المشرق والمغرب
Sahih Muslim 2988a
, we ask Allah for well-being, meaning: a vast distance, we ask Allah for well-being.
