Then he said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, indeed, the distance between the two panels of the gates of Paradise is as between Mecca and Hajar, or as between Mecca and Busra."
كَمَا just as
A comparison-word fused from 'like' plus 'what', giving 'just as'; it opens the yardstick clause that measures the distance. The fusion is what makes one word do 'as/like that which'.
