The answer

The : "The house in which the Quran is recited appears to the inhabitants of the heavens as the stars appear to the inhabitants of the earth," has a weak chain of narration () due to Ibn Lahia, who had a poor memory and was a muddalis (one who narrates a hadith in a way that conceals a weakness in its chain), and due to the unknown status of Abu Bakr ibn Quraysh and Abu al-Husayn al-Farsi. The hadith has also been reported with other wordings, such as an Athar (saying) attributed to Ibn Sabit, which is mawquf (stopped at a companion), and with a very weak chain containing Layth ibn Abi Sulaym, who was a mukhtalit (one whose memory became confused in his old age), and as an Athar from an unknown Medinan narrator.
