[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On the night I was taken on the Night Journey, I woke up in Makkah. I realized that people would deny me, so I sat in seclusion, feeling sad. Then the enemy of Allah, Abu Jahl, passed by me. He came and sat next to me and asked me mockingly, 'Did anything happen to you?' I replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'What is it?' I said, 'I was taken on a night journey.' He asked, 'Where did you go?' I said, 'To the Al-Aqsa Mosque.' He asked, 'Then you appeared among us in the morning?' I replied, 'Yes.' Abu Jahl did not realize that he was being lied to out of fear that he might deny the narration if people were to believe him. He said, 'If I call your people, will you address them?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Jahl called upon the people of Bani Ka'b bin Lu'ay and they gathered until they sat next to him. He said, 'Tell your people what you told me.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I was taken on the Night Journey.' They asked, 'Where did you go?' He replied, 'To the Al-Aqsa Mosque.' They asked, 'Then you appeared among us in the morning?' He replied, 'Yes.' Among those present were some who had traveled to that city and seen the mosque. They asked, 'Can you describe the mosque to us?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So I described the mosque to them, and I continued to describe it until they were satisfied with my description.' The mosque was then brought to me, and I continued to describe it as I looked at it. There was also another incident that I forgot." The people said, "As for the description, it was accurate."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ أُسْرِيَ بِي ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ بِمَكَّةَ» قَالَ «قَطَعْتُ بِأَمْرِي وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ مُكَذِّبِيَّ» قَالَ «فَقَعَدْتُ مُعْتَزِلًا حَزِينًا فَمَرَّ بِي عَدُوُّ اللهِ أَبُو جَهْلٍ» فَجَاءَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي أُسْرِيَ بِي اللَّيْلَةَ» قَالَ إِلَى أَيْنَ؟ قَالَ «إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» [148] قَالَ فَلَمْ يُرِهِ أَنَّهُ يُكَذِّبُهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَجْحَدَ الْحَدِيثَ إِنْ دَعَا لَهُ قَوْمَهُ قَالَ إِنْ دَعَوْتُ إِلَيْكَ قَوْمَكَ أَتُحَدِّثُهُمْ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ مَعْشَرَ بَنِي كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ هَلُمَّ فَتَنَفَّضَتِ الْمَجَالِسُ فَجَاءُوا حَتَّى جَلَسُوا إِلَيْهِمَا قَالَ حَدِّثْ قَوْمَكَ مَا حَدَّثْتَنِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أُسْرِيَ بِي اللَّيْلَةَ» قَالُوا إِلَى أَيْنَ؟ قَالَ «إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ» قَالَ قَالُوا ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَمِنْ بَيْنِ مُصَدَّقٍ وَمِنْ بَيْنِ وَاضِعٍ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مُسْتَعْجِبًا لِلْكَذِبِ قَالَ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ مَنْ سَافَرَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْبَلَدِ وَرَأَى الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ قَالُوا هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْعَتَ لَنَا الْمَسْجِدَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَذَهَبْتُ أَنْعَتُ لَهُمْ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَنْعَتُ حَتَّى الْتَبَسَ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ النَّعْتِ» قَالَ «فَجِيءَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى وُضِعَ» قَالَ «فَنَعَتُّ الْمَسْجِدَ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ» قَالَ وَقَدْ كَانَ مَعَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ فَنَسِيتُهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ الْقَوْمُ أَمَّا النَّعْتُ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ
