bayhaqi:1690Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Yūnus al-Umawī from Aṣl Kitābih > al-Rabīʿ b. Sulaymān al-Murādī > ʿAbdullāh b. Wahbal-Qurashī > Sulaymān b. Bilāl > Sharīk b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Namir > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] He told us about the night of the Prophet's ﷺ ascension from the Kaaba mosque. He mentioned the hadith in which the Prophet was inspired concerning fifty prayers for his nation every day and night. Then he descended until he reached Moses, who detained him and said, "O Muhammad, what has your Lord instructed you?" He replied, "He has instructed me to have fifty prayers for my nation every day and night." Moses said, "Your nation is not able to do this, so go back and ask your Lord to lighten the burden on you and them." So the Prophet turned to Gabriel as if seeking his advice on this matter, and Gabriel gestured to him indicating that if he wished, he could do it. So Gabriel said to the Lord, "O Lord, lighten our burden, for my nation cannot bear this." Therefore, ten prayers were removed from the prescribed fifty. Then the Prophet returned to Moses, who detained him and continued to return him to his Lord until it became five prayers. Moses said, "By Allah, I have tried with the Children of Israel to practice less than these five and they neglected and abandoned them. Your nation is weaker in bodies, hearts, eyes, and ears, so go back and ask your Lord to lighten the burden on you." So the Prophet turned to Gabriel to indicate to him, and Gabriel raised his hand at the fifth prayer. He said, "O Lord, indeed my nation is weak in their bodies, hearts, eyes, and ears, so lighten our burden." Then the Lord said, "Indeed, the decree with Me will not change. It is as it was written for you in the mother of the Book. For every good deed, you will have ten times its reward. It is fifty in the mother of the Book, but it is five upon you." And he mentioned the hadith.
