1. Faith / Belief
١۔ كتاب الإيمان
When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was taken on the Night Journey, he was brought to the Sidrat al-Muntaha (Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary), which is in the sixth heaven. To it reaches what ascends from the earth, and from it it is received; and to it reaches what descends from above it, and from it it is received.
He said: “When there covered the Sidrat al-Muntaha that which covered it.” He said ˹they are˺ “Moths of gold.” He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given three things: he was given the five daily prayers; he was given the concluding verses of Sūrat al-Baqarah; and forgiveness was granted to those of his community who do not do shirk (associate anything) with Allah for the grave, ruinous sins.
لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْتُهِيَ بِهِ إِلَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى وَهِيَ فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ إِلَيْهَا يَنْتَهِي مَا يُعْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الأَرْضِ فَيُقْبَضُ مِنْهَا وَإِلَيْهَا يَنْتَهِي مَا يُهْبَطُ بِهِ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا فَيُقْبَضُ مِنْهَا
قَالَ { إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى } قَالَ فَرَاشٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ فَأُعْطِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثًا أُعْطِيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَأُعْطِيَ خَوَاتِيمَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَغُفِرَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ شَيْئًا الْمُقْحِمَاتُ
I asked Zirr b. Hubaish about the words of Allah (the Mighty and Great):" So he was (at a distance) of two bows or nearer" (al-Qur'an, Iiii 8). He said: Ibn Mas'ud informed me that, verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw Gabriel and he had six hundred wings.
عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ { فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى} قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ
" The heart belied not what he saw" (al Qur'an, Iiii. 11) imply that he saw Gabriel (peace be upon him) and he had six hundred wings.
{ مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى} قَالَ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ
" Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of Allah" (al-Qur'an, liii. 18) imply that he saw Gabriel in his (original) form and he had six hundred wings.
{ لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى} قَالَ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ فِي صُورَتِهِ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ
