Are the details regarding the names and colors of the seven heavens — Raqi'a (smoke), Qaydum (copper), Al-Marum (light), Arfalun (silver), Hayfuf (gold), 'Arus (green ruby), 'Ajma' (white pearl) — correct?
We do not know of any authentic chain of transmission for these descriptions from the Prophet, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, or his Companions. They have been narrated from Salman al-Farisi and from al-Rabi’ ibn Anas. The chain of narration attributed to Salman includes Abd al-Mun’im ibn Idris al-Yamani, who is a liar and fabricates , and his father is weak. Al-Suyuti mentioned that its chain of transmission is fragile. As for the narration from al-Rabi’ ibn Anas, its chain of transmission is suspended at him and includes Abu Ja’far al-Razi, who is truthful but has a poor memory. Allah has not burdened you with knowing what you asked about, so occupy yourself with what benefits you.
