[Machine] When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was taken on the night journey, he became saddened and sat alone in mecca. Abu Jahl, the enemy of Allah, came to him and mockingly asked if something had happened to him. The Prophet replied, "Yes, I was taken on a journey to the house of al-Masjid al-Aqsa last night." Abu Jahl asked, "Then did you return to us by morning?" The Prophet answered, "Yes." Abu Jahl did not show that he was rejecting the Prophet's words out of fear that his people would accuse him of denying the Prophet's message. Abu Jahl said, "O sons of Ka'b ibn Luay, come and listen! The gatherings have become less, so they sat around the Prophet and Abu Jahl said, "Tell your people what you have told me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I was taken on a journey to the house of al-Masjid al-Aqsa." They asked, "To where?" The Prophet replied, "To the house of al-Masjid al-Aqsa." They asked again, "Then did you return to us by morning?" The Prophet answered, "Yes." Some people clapped their hands in amazement, while others placed their hands on their heads in astonishment at the Prophet's supposed lie. Among the people was someone who had traveled to al-Masjid al-Aqsa and had seen it. They asked the Prophet if he could describe the mosque to them, and he replied, "Yes." The Prophet then began describing the mosque to them until they became confused about the details. He said, "I saw the mosque while I was looking at it, until it was put beneath the dwellings of 'Aqil or 'Aqali." The people said, "As for the description, by Allah, he has accurately described it."
لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِنَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَصْبَحَ بِمَكَّةَ جَلَسَ مُعْتَزِلًا حَزِينًا فَأَتَى عَلَيْهِ عَدُوُّ اللهِ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ «إِنَّهُ أُسْرِيَ بِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَلَمْ يُرِهِ أَنَّهُ يُكَذِّبُه مَخَافَةَ إِنْ دَعَا إِلَيْهِ قَوْمَهُ أَنْ يَجْحَدَوهُ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَعَوْتُ إِلَيْكَ قَوْمَكَ أَتُحَدِّثُهُمْ بِمَا حَدَّثْتَنِي؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ يَا بَنِي كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ هَلُمَّ فَانَتَقَصَتِ الْمَجَالِسُ حَتَّى جَلَسوا إِلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ حَدِّثْ قَوْمَكَ بِمَا حَدَّثْتَنِي فقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ أُسْرِيَ بِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ» فَقَالَ إِلَى أَيْنَ؟ قَالَ «إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ» قَالُوا ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَمِنْ مُصَفِّقٍ وَمِنْ وَاضِعٍ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مُسْتَعْجِبًا لَلْكَذِبُ زَعَمَ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ مَنْ قَدْ سَافَرَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَآهُ فَقَالُوا أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْعَتَ لَنَا الْمَسْجِدَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ «فَنَعَتُّهُ لَهُمْ حَتَّى الْتَبَسَ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ النَّعْتِ» قَالَ «فَجِيءَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى وُضِعَ دُونَ دَارِ عَقِيلٍ أَوْ دَارِ عِقَالٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْعَتُهُ وأنا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ أَمَّا النَّعْتُ فوَاللهِ قَدْ أَصَابَ
