ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى الَّتِي هِيَ نِهَايَةُ ظِلَالِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "A lote tree was lifted up for me at the furthest boundary in the seventh heaven. Its fruits were like the jugs of the people of Hijr, and its leaves were like the ears of elephants. Two rivers flow from its trunk, one apparent and one hidden. So I asked, 'O Jibril, what are these?' He said, 'As for the hidden ones, they are in Paradise, and as for the apparent ones, they are the Nile and the Euphrates.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ رُفِعَتْ لِي سِدْرَةُ الْمُنْتَهَى فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ نَبْقُهَا مِثْلُ قِلَالِ هَجَرَ وَوَرَقُهَا مِثْلُ آذَانِ الْفِيَلَةِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَاقِهَا نَهْرَانِ ظَاهِرَانِ وَنَهْرَانِ بَاطِنَانِ فَقُلْتُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا هَذَانِ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا الْبَاطِنَانِ فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ وَأَمَّاالظَّاهِرَانِ فَالنِّيلُ وَالْفُرَاتُ  

[Machine] From Anas, in his statement {by the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary}, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A tree was raised for me whose boundaries reach the seventh heaven. Its fruits are like the baskets of Hiraa, and its leaves are like the ears of elephants. Two visible rivers flow from its trunk, and two hidden rivers flow from it." I said: "O Jibril, what are these?" He said: "As for the hidden rivers, they are in Paradise, and as for the visible rivers, they are the Nile and the Euphrates."  

عَنْ أَنَسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى} [النجم 14] أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ رُفِعَتْ لِي سِدْرَةٌ مُنْتَهَاهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ نَبْقُهَا مِثْلُ قِلَالِ هَجَرَ وَرَقُهَا مِثْلُ آذَانِ الْفِيلِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَاقِهَا نَهْرَانِ ظَاهِرَانِ وَنَهْرَانِ بَاطِنَانِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا هَذَانِ؟ قَالَ أَمَا الْبَاطِنَانِ فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ وَأَمَّا الظَّاهِرَانِ فَالنِّيلُ وَالْفُرَاتُ «»  

"رُفِعَتْ إِلىَّ سِدْرةُ الْمُنْتهَى -مُنْتهَاها إِلى الْسَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَة، نَبْقُها مِثلُ قِلَالِ هَجَرَ، وَوَرَقُهَا مِثْلُ آذَانِ الْفِيَلَةِ، فإِذَا أَرْبعَةُ أَنْهار: نَهْرَان ظَاهِرَانِ، ونَهْرَانِ بَاطنَانِ، فأَمَّا الظَّاهِرَانِ: فالنيلُ والفراتُ، وأَما الباطِنَانِ: فَنَهْرانِ في الْجَنَّة، وأُتِيتُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَقْدَاحٍ: قَدَحٍ فِيهِ لَبَنٌ، وقَدَحٍ فِيهِ عَسَلٌ، وَقَدحٍ فِيهِ خمْرٌ، فأَخَذْتُ الذى فِيهِ اللبنَ فَشَرِبْتُ, فقِيلَ لِى: أَصَبْتَ الْفِطرَةَ أَنت وأُمَّتُكَ".
