[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ followed me, and we went until we reached a place where he drew a line for me and said: "Stay within this; do not leave it, for if you leave, you will perish." So, I stayed there, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ walked on or went farther.
He then mentioned some small beings, as if they were people from India or however Allah willed, without clothes, yet I could not see their private parts, tall and thin. They came and began to ride on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he recited to them. They would come and surround me, making sounds that frightened me greatly, so I sat there or as it was said. When the dawn broke, they started to leave.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then returned heavily burdened or was in some pain from what they did. He said: "I feel heavily burdened," and placed his head in my lap. Then those small beings came again, now wearing white clothes and tall, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had dozed off. I was more frightened than the first time. Some of them said to others: "This man has been given something good," or as they said: "His eyes are sleeping, yet his heart is awake."
Then one of them said to the others: "Let us present him with a parable." They suggested: "Present him with a parable, and we will interpret it," or "we will present, and you will interpret." One said: "He is like a noble man or master who built a strong structure and sent to the people food. Whoever did not attend his food—or they said did not follow him—was punished severely." The others said: "The noble man is the Lord of the worlds, the structure is Islam, the food is Paradise, and this one is the caller. Whoever follows him will be in Paradise, and whoever does not follow him will be punished."
Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ awoke and asked: "What did you see, O son of Umm Abd?" I said: "I saw such and such," and he replied: "O Prophet of Allah! Nothing of what they said was hidden from me." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Nothing of what they said was hidden from me. They are a group of angels or as Allah wills."
"اسْتَتْبَعَنِى النَّبِىُّ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْنا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا مَوْضِعًا، فَخَطَّ لِى خُطَّةً، فَقَالَ لِى: كُنْ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَىْ هَذِهِ لا تَخْرُجْ منْهَا فَإنَّكَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ هَلَكْتَ، فَكُنْتُ فِيهَا، وَمَضَى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ أَوْ قَاَلَ أَبْعَدْ شَيئًا،
قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ ذَكَرَ هُنيْنًا (*) كَأَنَّهُمُ الزُّطُّ (* *) أَوْ كَمَا شَاءَ اللهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِم ثيَابٌ وَلا أَرَى سَوْآتَهُمْ، طِوالٌ قَلِيلٌ لَحْمُهُمْ، فَأَتَوْا فَجَعَلُوا يَرْكَبُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَجَعَلُوا يَأتُونَ فَيَخْلِبُونَ (* * *) حَوْلَى وَيَضْرَطونَ (* * * *) بِى فَأُرْعِبْتُ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا شَدِيدًا، فَجَلَسْتُ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ، فَلَمَّا انْشَقَّ عَمُودُ الصُّبْح جَعَلُوا يَذْهَبُونَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَ ثَقِيلًا وَجِعًا - أَوْ يَكُونُ وَجِعًا - مِمَّا رَكِبُوهُ، قَالَ: إِنِّى أَجِدُنِى ثَقيلًا، فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأسَهُ فِى حجْرِى، ثُمَّ إِنَّ هُنَيْنًا أَتَوا عَلَيْهِمْ ثيَابٌ بيضٌ طِوالٌ وَقَدْ أَغْفَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأُرْعِبْتُ أَشَدّ مِمَّا أَرْعِبْتُ الْمَرَّةَ الأُولَى، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: لَقَدْ أُعْطِىَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ خَيْرًا - أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا: إِنَّ عَيْنَيْه نَائِمَتانِ، أَوْ قَالَ: عَينهُ نَائِمَةٌ وَقَلْبُهُ يَقْظَانُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ، هَلُمَّ فَلْنَضْرِبْ لَهُ مَثَلًا، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: اضْرِبُوا لَهُ مَثَلًا وَنُوَوِّلُ نَحْنُ أَوْ نَضْرِبُ نَحْنُ وَتُأوِّلُونَ أَنْتُمْ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: مَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ سيِّد أَوْ قَالُوا: هُوَ سيِّدُ بَنى بُنْيَانًا حَصِينًا ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى النَّاسِ الطَّعَامَ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَأت طَعَامَهُ - أَوْ قَالُوا: لَمْ يَتَّبِعْهُ عَذَّبَهُ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا، وقَالَ الآخَرُونَ: أمَّا السَّيِّدُ فَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَأَمَّا الْبُنْيَانُ فَهُوَ الإِسْلامُ وَالطَّعَامُ الْجَنَّةُ، وَهَذَا الدَّاعِى، فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ كَانَ فِى الْجَنَّةِ، وَمنْ لَمْ يَتَّبِعْهُ عُذِّبَ،
قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَيْقَظَ، قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتَ يَابْنَ أمِّ عْبِدٍ؟ قُلْتُ: رَأَيْتُ كَذَاَ وَكَذَا فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِّىَ اللهِ! مَا خَفِى عَلَىَّ مِمَّا قَالُوا شَىْءٌ. قَالَ نَبِىُّ اللهِ ﷺ : ما خَفِىَ عَلَىَّ مِمَا قَالُوا شَىْءٌ، قَالَ نَبِىُّ الله ﷺ : هُمْ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْملائِكَةِ، أَوْ كَمَا شَاءَ اللهُ".
