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 Sidrah that which covered it.” (Najm 53:16) He said ˹they are˺ moths of gold. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given three things: (1) he was given the five daily prayers; (2) he was given the concluding verses of Sūrat al-Baqarah; and (3) forgiveness was granted to those of his community who do not do shirk with Allah for ˹their˺ 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﴾ [النجم 16] قَالَ فَرَاشٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، قَالَ: فَأُعْطِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثًا: (١) أُعْطِيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ، (٢) وَأُعْطِيَ خَوَاتِيمَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، (٣) وَغُفِرَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ شَيْئًا الْمُقْحِمَاتُ.
