ذِكْرُ رُكُوبِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ الْبُرَاقَ، وَإِتْيَانِهِ عَلَيْهِ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ

[Machine] Tell me about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Beit al-Maqdis when he was taken on the Night Journey. He said, "Who informed you about it, O bald one?" I replied, "The Qur'an." He asked, "The Qur'an?" So I recited, "Exalted is He who took His Servant by night" and this is how Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited it until the verse "Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing." He then asked, "Did you see him praying in it?" I replied, "No." He said, "Indeed, he was brought on a mount." Hammād narrated, "And he described it as having wings. I do not remember the description." The Prophet ﷺ said, "So Gabriel carried him on it - one of the two companions of his - and they journeyed from his night until they came to Beit al-Maqdis. He was shown what is in the heavens and on the earth, then they returned back to their original locations. He did not pray in it, and if he had prayed, it would have been a sunnah."  

حَدِّثْنِي بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ حِينَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ قَالَ مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ بِهِ يَا أَصْلَعُ؟ قُلْتُ الْقُرْآنُ قَالَ الْقُرْآنُ؟ فَقَرَأْتُ «سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ» وَهَكَذَا هِيَ قِرَاءَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ} فَقَالَ هَلْ تَرَاهُ صَلَّى فِيهِ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ إِنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَصَفَهَا عَاصِمٌ لَا أَحْفَظُ صِفَتَهَا قَالَ فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَيْهَا جِبْرِيلُ أَحَدُهُمَا رَدِيفُ صَاحِبِهِ فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ حَتَّى أَتَى بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَأُرِيَ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَا عَوْدَهُمَا عَلَى بَدْئِهِمَا فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ فِيهِ وَلَوْ صَلَّى لَكَانَتْ سُنَّةً
