Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(And the House frequented) and Allah swore by the House which is filled with the angels. This House is in the sixth heaven opposite to the Ka'bah. There is between it and the Ka'bah, through the borderline of the seventh earth, a Sacred Precinct which is visited every single day by 70,000 angels who never return to visit it. This is the House that Adam built and was raised to the seventh heaven because of the flood, it is called al-dirah and is opposite of the Ka'bah.
