Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While I was at Mecca the roof of my house was opened and Gabriel descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the nearest heaven."

"When I reached the nearest heaven, Gabriel said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel answered: 'Gabriel.' He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Gabriel replied, 'Yes, Muhammad I is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel said, 'Yes.' So the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven and there we saw a man sitting with some people on his right and some on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked toward his left he wept. Then he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is Adam and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on his right are the people of Paradise and those on his left are the people of Hell and when he looks towards his right he laughs and when he looks towards his left he weeps.'"

"Then he ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and he (Gabriel) said to its gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven had said and he opened the gate."

Anas said: Abu Dhar added that the Prophet ﷺ met Adam, Idris, Moses, Jesus and Abraham, he (Abu Dhar) did not mention on which heaven they were but he mentioned that he (the Prophet ﷺ ) met Adam on the nearest heaven and Abraham on the sixth heaven.

Anas said, When Gabriel along with the Prophet ﷺ passed by Idris, "he said said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious brother.' I asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Idris."

"Then I passed by Moses and he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious brother.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Moses.'"

"Then I passed by Jesus and he said, 'Welcome! O pious brother and pious Prophet.' I asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Jesus."

"Then I passed by Abraham and he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Abraham.'"

The Prophet ﷺ added, 'Then Gabriel ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of the pens."

Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then Allah enjoined fifty prayers on my followers when I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Moses who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty prayers on them.' Moses said, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction) for your followers will not be able to bear it.' (So I went back to Allah and requested for reduction) and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Moses again and informed him about it, he said, 'Go back to your Lord as your followers will not be able to bear it.' So I returned to Allah and requested for further reduction and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Moses and he said to me: 'Return to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it. So I returned to Allah and He said, 'These are five prayers and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward) for My Word does not change.' I returned to Moses and he told me to go back once again. I replied, 'Now I feel shy of asking my Lord again.'"

"Then Gabriel took me till we '' reached Sidrat al-Muntahá (a lote tree of the utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colors, indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small (tents or) walls (made) of pearls and its earth was of musk."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «فُرِجَ عَنْ سَقْفِ بَيْتِي وَأَنَا بِمَكَّةَ، فَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ فَفَرَجَ صَدْرِي ثُمَّ غَسَلَهُ بِمَاءِ زَمْزَمَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِطَسْتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُمْتَلِئٍ حِكْمَةً وَإِيمَانًا فَأَفْرَغَهُ فِي صَدْرِي، ثُمَّ أَطْبَقَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَعَرَجَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا،»

«فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ لِخَازِنِ السَّمَاءِ: افْتَحْ۔ قَالَ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ۔ قَالَ: هَلْ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ مَعِي مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ۔ فَقَالَ: أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ۔ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ عَلَوْنَا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ أَسْوِدَةٌ وَعَلَى يَسَارِهِ أَسْوِدَةٌ، إِذَا نَظَرَ قِبَلَ يَمِينِهِ ضَحِكَ وَإِذَا نَظَرَ قِبَلَ يَسَارِهِ بَكَى۔ فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالاِبْنِ الصَّالِحِ! قُلْتُ لِجِبْرِيلَ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا آدَمُ وَهَذِهِ الأَسْوِدَةُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَشِمَالِهِ نَسَمُ بَنِيهِ، فَأَهْلُ الْيَمِينِ مِنْهُمْ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ وَالأَسْوِدَةُ الَّتِي عَنْ شِمَالِهِ أَهْلُ النَّارِ، فَإِذَا نَظَرَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ضَحِكَ وَإِذَا نَظَرَ قِبَلَ شِمَالِهِ بَكَى۔»

«حَتَّى عَرَجَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَقَالَ لِخَازِنِهَا: افْتَحْ۔ فَقَالَ لَهُ خَازِنُهَا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الأَوَّلُ، فَفَتَحَ۔» قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ آدَمَ وَإِدْرِيسَ وَمُوسَى وَعِيسَى وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَمْ يُثْبِتْ كَيْفَ مَنَازِلُهُمْ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ آدَمَ فِي السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ۔

قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَلَمَّا مَرَّ جِبْرِيلُ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِإِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: «مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالأَخِ الصَّالِحِ! فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا إِدْرِيسُ۔»

«ثُمَّ مَرَرْتُ بِمُوسَى، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالأَخِ الصَّالِحِ! قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا مُوسَى۔»

«ثُمَّ مَرَرْتُ بِعِيسَى، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالأَخِ الصَّالِحِ وَالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ! قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا عِيسَى۔»

«ثُمَّ مَرَرْتُ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالاِبْنِ الصَّالِحِ! قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﷺ۔»

قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ حَزْمٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبَا حَبَّةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَا يَقُولاَنِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِي، حَتَّى ظَهَرْتُ لِمُسْتَوًى أَسْمَعُ فِيهِ صَرِيفَ الأَقْلاَمِ۔»

قَالَ ابْنُ حَزْمٍ وَأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «فَفَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي خَمْسِينَ صَلاَةً، فَرَجَعْتُ بِذَلِكَ حَتَّى مَرَرْتُ عَلَى مُوسَى، فَقَالَ: مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَكَ عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ؟ قُلْتُ: فَرَضَ خَمْسِينَ صَلاَةً۔ قَالَ: فَارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لاَ تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ۔ فَرَاجَعْتُ فَوَضَعَ شَطْرَهَا۔ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مُوسَى قُلْتُ: وَضَعَ شَطْرَهَا۔ فَقَالَ: رَاجِعْ رَبَّكَ فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لاَ تُطِيقُ۔ فَرَاجَعْتُ فَوَضَعَ شَطْرَهَا۔ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لاَ تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ۔ فَرَاجَعْتُهُ فَقَالَ: هِيَ خَمْسٌ وَهْىَ خَمْسُونَ، لاَ يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَىَّ۔ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مُوسَى فَقَالَ: رَاجِعْ رَبَّكَ۔ فَقُلْتُ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ رَبِّي۔»

«ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِي حَتَّى انْتَهَى بِي إِلَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى، وَغَشِيَهَا أَلْوَانٌ لاَ أَدْرِي مَا هِيَ، ثُمَّ أُدْخِلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا فِيهَا حَبَايِلُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ وَإِذَا تُرَابُهَا الْمِسْكُ۔»

Abu Dhar (ra) used to say that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While I was at Makkah, the roof of my house was opened and Jibril descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith, and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the heaven. When Jibril reached the nearest heaven, he said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'who is it?' Jibril answered, 'Jibril'. He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Jibril replied, 'Muhammad ﷺ is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?', Jibril said, 'Yes'. So, the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven, and there we saw a man sitting with Aswida (a large number of people) of his right and Aswida on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked towards his left he wept. He said (to me), 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son'. I said, 'Who is this man O Jibril?' Jibril replied, 'He is Adam, and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on the right are the people of Paradise, and those on the left are the people of the (Hell) Fire. So, when he looks to the right, he laughs, and when he looks to the left he weeps.' Then Jibril ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and said to the gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven has said, and he opened the gate." Anas added: Abu Dhar mentioned that Prophet ﷺ met Idris, Musa (Moses), 'Isa (Jesus) and Ibrahim (Abraham) over the heavens, but he did not specify their places (i.e., on which heavens each of them was), but he mentioned that he (the Prophet ﷺ) had met Adam on the nearest heaven, and Ibrahim on the sixth. Anas said, "When Jibril and the Prophet ﷺ passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' the Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Idris.' " The Prophet ﷺ added, "Then I passed by Musa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Musa.' Then I passed by 'Isa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is 'Isa.' Then I passed by the Prophet ﷺ Ibrahim who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is Ibrahim'." Narrated Ibn 'Abbas and Abu Haiyya Al-Ansari: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then Jibril ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik state the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on me. When I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Musa who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on them.' On the Musa said to me, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction), for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord and asked for some reduction, and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Musa again and informed him about it, he once more said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord similarly as before, and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Musa and he said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' I again returned to my Lord and He said, 'These are five (Salat-prayers) and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward), for My Word does not change.' I returned to Musa, he again told me to return to my Lord (for further reduction) but I said to him 'I feel shy of asking my Lord now.' Then Jibril took me till we reached Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e., lote tree of utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colors indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small tents (made) of pearls and its earth was musk (a kind of perfume)."

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The roof of my house was opened while I was in Makkah, and Jibril ﷺ descended and opened my chest, then washed it with the water of Zamzam. Then he brought a basin of gold filled with wisdom and faith, poured it into my chest, then closed it. Then he took me by the hand and ascended with me to heaven.

When we came to the lowest heaven, Jibril ﷺ said to the keeper of the lowest heaven, 'Open.' He said, 'Who is this?' He said, 'This is Jibril.' He said, 'Is anyone with you?' He said, 'Yes, Muhammad ﷺ is with me.' He said, 'Was he sent for?' He said, 'Yes,' and he opened. He said: When we rose to the lowest heaven, there was a man with dark multitudes on his right and dark multitudes on his left. He said: When he looked toward his right, he laughed, and when he looked toward his left, he wept. He said: He said, 'Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous son.' He said: I said, 'O Jibril, who is this?' He said, 'This is Adam ᴬˢ, and these dark multitudes on his right and on his left are the souls of his children. The people on the right are the people of Paradise, and the dark multitudes on his left are the people of the Fire. When he looks toward his right, he laughs, and when he looks toward his left, he weeps.'

He said: Then Jibril ascended with me until he came to the second heaven, and he said to its keeper, 'Open.' He said: Its keeper said to him the like of what the keeper of the lowest heaven had said, and he opened."

Anas ibn Malik said: He mentioned that he found in the heavens Adam, Idris, Jesus, Musa, and Ibrahim—may Allah's blessings be upon them all—but he did not specify the exact nature of their stations, except that he mentioned that he found Adam ᴬˢ in the lowest heaven and Ibrahim in the sixth heaven. He said: "When Jibril and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Idris ᴬˢ he said, 'Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous brother.' He said: Then he passed on, and I said, 'Who is this?' He said, 'This is Idris.' He said: Then I passed by Musa ᴬˢ, upon him be peace, and he said, 'Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous brother.' He said: I said, 'Who is this?' He said, 'This is Musa.' He said: Then I passed by Jesus ᴬˢ, and he said, 'Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous brother.' I said, 'Who is this?' He said, 'Jesus, the son of Mary.' He said: Then I passed by Ibrahim ᴬˢ, and he said, 'Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous son.' He said: I said, 'Who is this?' He said, 'This is Ibrahim.'"

Ibn Shihab said: Ibn Hazm informed me that Ibn Abbas and Abu Habbah al-Ansari used to say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Then I was taken up until I reached a level where I could hear the scratching of the pens."

Ibn Hazm and Anas ibn Malik said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Then Allah prescribed fifty prayers for my community. He said: I returned with that until I passed by Musa, and Musa ᴬˢ said, 'What has your Lord prescribed for your community?' He said: I said, 'He has prescribed fifty prayers for them.' Musa ᴬˢ said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your community will not be able to bear that.' He said: So I went back to my Lord, and He reduced half of them. He said: Then I returned to Musa ᴬˢ and informed him. He said, 'Go back to your Lord, for your community will not be able to bear that.' He said: So I went back to my Lord, and He said, 'They are five, and they are fifty; the word is not changed with Me.' He said: I returned to Musa, and he said, 'Go back to your Lord.' I said, 'I have become shy before my Lord.' He said: Then Jibril took me along until we came to Sidrat al-Muntaha (the Lote Tree at the absolute end), and colors covered it, I do not know what they were. He said: Then I was admitted into Paradise, and there were domes of pearls in it, and its soil was musk."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «فُرِجَ سَقْفُ بَيْتِي وَأَنَا بِمَكَّةَ، فَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ ﷺ فَفَرَجَ صَدْرِي، ثُمَّ غَسَلَهُ مِنْ مَاءِ زَمْزَمَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِطَسْتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُمْتَلِئٍ حِكْمَةً وَإِيمَانًا، فَأَفْرَغَهَا فِي صَدْرِي، ثُمَّ أَطْبَقَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَعَرَجَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.

فَلَمَّا جِئْنَا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ لِخَازِنِ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا: افْتَحْ، قَالَ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ، قَالَ: هَلْ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، مَعِيَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَأُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَفَتَحَ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا عَلَوْنَا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَسْوِدَةٌ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَسْوِدَةٌ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا نَظَرَ قِبَلَ يَمِينِهِ ضَحِكَ، وَإِذَا نَظَرَ قِبَلَ شِمَالِهِ بَكَى. قَالَ: فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالاِبْنِ الصَّالِحِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ، مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا آدَمُ ﷺ، وَهَذِهِ الأَسْوِدَةُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ نَسَمُ بَنِيهِ، فَأَهْلُ الْيَمِينِ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ، وَالأَسْوِدَةُ الَّتِي عَنْ شِمَالِهِ أَهْلُ النَّارِ، فَإِذَا نَظَرَ قِبَلَ يَمِينِهِ ضَحِكَ، وَإِذَا نَظَرَ قِبَلَ شِمَالِهِ بَكَى.

قَالَ: ثُمَّ عَرَجَ بِي جِبْرِيلُ حَتَّى أَتَى السَّمَاءَ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَقَالَ لِخَازِنِهَا: افْتَحْ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ خَازِنُهَا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ خَازِنُ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَفَتَحَ».

قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ آدَمَ وَإِدْرِيسَ وَعِيسَى وَمُوسَى وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ، وَلَمْ يُثْبِتْ كَيْفَ مَنَازِلُهُمْ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ وَجَدَ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فِي السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ. قَالَ: «فَلَمَّا مَرَّ جِبْرِيلُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِإِدْرِيسَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالأَخِ الصَّالِحِ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَرَّ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ: هَذَا إِدْرِيسُ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَرَرْتُ بِمُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالأَخِ الصَّالِحِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا مُوسَى. قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَرَرْتُ بِعِيسَى، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالأَخِ الصَّالِحِ. قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَرَرْتُ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ وَالاِبْنِ الصَّالِحِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ».

قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ حَزْمٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبَا حَبَّةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَا يَقُولاَنِ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «ثُمَّ عَرَجَ بِي حَتَّى ظَهَرْتُ لِمُسْتَوًى أَسْمَعُ فِيهِ صَرِيفَ الأَقْلاَمِ».

قَالَ ابْنُ حَزْمٍ وَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «فَفَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي خَمْسِينَ صَلاَةً. قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ بِذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَمُرَّ بِمُوسَى، فَقَالَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ: مَاذَا فَرَضَ رَبُّكَ عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَمْسِينَ صَلاَةً. قَالَ لِي مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ: فَرَاجِعْ رَبَّكَ، فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لاَ تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَرَاجَعْتُ رَبِّي فَوَضَعَ شَطْرَهَا. قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، قَالَ: رَاجِعْ رَبَّكَ، فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لاَ تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَرَاجَعْتُ رَبِّي، فَقَالَ: هِيَ خَمْسٌ وَهْىَ خَمْسُونَ، لاَ يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَىَّ. قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَقَالَ: رَاجِعْ رَبَّكَ، فَقُلْتُ: قَدِ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ رَبِّي. قَالَ: ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِي جِبْرِيلُ حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ سِدْرَةَ الْمُنْتَهَى، فَغَشِيَهَا أَلْوَانٌ لاَ أَدْرِي مَا هِيَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ أُدْخِلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ، فَإِذَا فِيهَا جَنَابِذُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ، وَإِذَا تُرَابُهَا الْمِسْكُ».

Abu Dhar (ra) used to say that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While I was at Makkah, the roof of my house was opened and Jibril descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith, and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the heaven. When Jibril reached the nearest heaven, he said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'who is it?' Jibril answered, 'Jibril'. He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Jibril replied, 'Muhammad ﷺ is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?', Jibril said, 'Yes'. So, the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven, and there we saw a man sitting with Aswida (a large number of people) of his right and Aswida on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked towards his left he wept. He said (to me), 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son'. I said, 'Who is this man O Jibril?' Jibril replied, 'He is Adam, and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on the right are the people of Paradise, and those on the left are the people of the (Hell) Fire. So, when he looks to the right, he laughs, and when he looks to the left he weeps.' Then Jibril ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and said to the gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven has said, and he opened the gate." Anas added: Abu Dhar mentioned that Prophet ﷺ met Idris, Musa (Moses), 'Isa (Jesus) and Ibrahim (Abraham) over the heavens, but he did not specify their places (i.e., on which heavens each of them was), but he mentioned that he (the Prophet ﷺ) had met Adam on the nearest heaven, and Ibrahim on the sixth. Anas said, "When Jibril and the Prophet ﷺ passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' the Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Idris.' " The Prophet ﷺ added, "Then I passed by Musa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Musa.' Then I passed by 'Isa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is 'Isa.' Then I passed by the Prophet ﷺ Ibrahim who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is Ibrahim'." Narrated Ibn 'Abbas and Abu Haiyya Al-Ansari: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then Jibril ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik state the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on me. When I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Musa who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on them.' On the Musa said to me, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction), for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord and asked for some reduction, and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Musa again and informed him about it, he once more said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord similarly as before, and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Musa and he said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' I again returned to my Lord and He said, 'These are five (Salat-prayers) and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward), for My Word does not change.' I returned to Musa, he again told me to return to my Lord (for further reduction) but I said to him 'I feel shy of asking my Lord now.' Then Jibril took me till we reached Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e., lote tree of utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colors indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small tents (made) of pearls and its earth was musk (a kind of perfume)." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3342)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The roof of my house was opened while I was in Makkah, and Jibril came down and opened my chest and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden platter filled with wisdom and faith, and poured it into my chest and closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the sky. When we reached the first sky, Jibril said to the gatekeeper, 'Open up.' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is this?' Jibril replied, 'Jibril.' The gatekeeper asked, 'Does he have anyone with him?' Jibril said, 'Yes, he is with me, Muhammad, ﷺ .' The gatekeeper asked, 'Has he been sent for?' Jibril replied, 'Yes, he has been sent for.' So the gate was opened. When we ascended higher to the second sky, Jibril said to the gatekeeper, 'Open up.' The gatekeeper responded the same way as the gatekeeper of the first sky. Anas bin Malik mentioned, "I found Adam, Idris, Jesus, Moses, and Ibrahim in the heavens, and I could not ascertain their positions, except that I found Adam in the nearest heaven and Ibrahim in the sixth heaven." Ibn Shihab and Ibn Hazm narrated that Ibn Abbas and Abu Habibah al-Ansari used to say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then I was taken up until I reached a place where I could hear the scratch of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah obligated fifty prayers on my Ummah, but I kept requesting Him to reduce it until He made it five prayers. However, I felt shy to do more and returned to Allah, so He decreed them as fifty, which would not be changed." Then I returned to Moses, who said, 'Go back to your Lord and ask Him to reduce it further, as your Ummah will not be able to bear it.' I felt ashamed to do so and returned to my Lord. Then Moses asked me again to go back, but I felt too shy to ask Allah for more reduction. I then returned to my Lord and He said, 'It is five and it is still fifty; the words of Allah do not change.' So I returned, and when I mentioned it to Moses, he instructed me to go back again. But I said, 'I have felt too shy from my Lord,' and it was at that time that Allah revealed, 'O Muhammad! There never has been and never will be a change in My Words.'" Then Jibril took me until we reached the Sidrat al-Muntaha (the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary), and its leaves covered it with colors I cannot describe. Then I was admitted into Paradise, and I saw houses made of pearls and its soil was musk."
