The Prophet of Allah ﷺ told them about the night he was taken on the Night Journey. He said:"While I was lying down in the Hatim," and sometimes he said "in the Hijr," "someone came to me and split open what is between here and here." I asked Jarud, who was beside me, "What does he mean by that?" He said, "From the hollow of his throat down to the lower part of his abdomen." I also heard him say, "From his breastbone down to the lower part of his abdomen." "He extracted my heart, then a basin of gold filled with faith was brought to me, and my heart was washed, then filled, then returned. Then a beast was brought to me, smaller than a mule and larger than a donkey, white in color."Jarud said to him, "Is it Buraq, Abu Hamza?"Anas replied, "Yes. Its stride reaches the farthest point of its sight. I was mounted upon it, and Jibril set off with me until he came to the lowest heaven. He asked for it to be opened."It was said, "Who is this?"He said, "Jibril."It was said, "And who is with you?"He said, "Muhammad."It was said, "Has he been sent for?"He said, "Yes."It was said, "Welcome to him. What an excellent arrival is his."So it was opened, and when I had passed through, there was Adam. Jibril said, "This is your father Adam, so greet him." I greeted him, and he returned the greeting, then said, "Welcome to the righteous son and the righteous prophet."Then he ascended with me until he reached the second heaven. He asked for it to be opened.It was said, "Who is this?"He said, "Jibril."It was said, "And who is with you?"He said, "Muhammad."It was said, "Has he been sent for?"He said, "Yes."It was said, "Welcome to him. What an excellent arrival is his."So it was opened, and when I had passed through, there were Yahya and Isa, who are maternal cousins. Jibril said, "This is Yahya and Isa, so greet them." I greeted them, and they returned the greeting, then said, "Welcome to the righteous brother and the righteous prophet."Then he ascended with me to the third heaven. He asked for it to be opened.It was said, "Who is this?"He said, "Jibril."It was said, "And who is with you?"He said, "Muhammad."It was said, "Has he been sent for?"He said, "Yes."It was said, "Welcome to him. What an excellent arrival is his."So it was opened, and when I had passed through, there was Yusuf. Jibril said, "This is Yusuf, so greet him." I greeted him, and he returned the greeting, then said, "Welcome to the righteous brother and the righteous prophet."Then he ascended with me until he reached the fourth heaven. He asked for it to be opened.It was said, "Who is this?"He said, "Jibril."It was said, "And who is with you?"He said, "Muhammad."It was said, "Has he been sent for?"He said, "Yes."It was said, "Welcome to him. What an excellent arrival is his."So it was opened, and when I came to Idris, Jibril said, "This is Idris, so greet him." I greeted him, and he returned the greeting, then said, "Welcome to the righteous brother and the righteous prophet."Then he ascended with me until he reached the fifth heaven. He asked for it to be opened.It was said, "Who is this?"He said, "Jibril."It was said, "And who is with you?"He said, "Muhammad."It was said, "Has he been sent for?"He said, "Yes."It was said, "Welcome to him. What an excellent arrival is his."When I had passed through, there was Harun. Jibril said, "This is Harun, so greet him." I greeted him, and he returned the greeting, then said, "Welcome to the righteous brother and the righteous prophet."Then he ascended with me until he reached the sixth heaven. He asked for it to be opened.It was said, "Who is this?"He said, "Jibril."It was said, "Who is with you?"He said, "Muhammad."It was said, "Has he been sent for?"He said, "Yes."It was said, "Welcome to him. What an excellent arrival is his."When I had passed through, there was Musa. Jibril said, "This is Musa, so greet him." I greeted him, and he returned the greeting, then said, "Welcome to the righteous brother and the righteous prophet." When I had passed beyond him, he wept.He was asked, "What makes you weep?"He said, "I weep because a youth was sent after me, and more of his nation will enter Paradise than of mine."Then he ascended with me to the seventh heaven. Jibril asked for it to be opened.It was said, "Who is this?"He said, "Jibril."It was said, "And who is with you?"He said, "Muhammad."It was said, "Has he been sent for?"He said, "Yes."It was said, "Welcome to him. What an excellent arrival is his."When I had passed through, there was Ibrahim. Jibril said, "This is your father, so greet him." I greeted him, and he returned the greeting, then said, "Welcome to the righteous son and the righteous prophet."Then the Lote-Tree of the Utmost Boundary was raised up to me. Its fruit was like the large jars of Hajar, and its leaves were like the ears of elephants. Jibril said, "This is the Lote-Tree of the Utmost Boundary." There were four rivers, two hidden and two visible.I asked, "What are these, Jibril?"He said, "As for the two hidden ones, they are two rivers in Paradise, and as for the two visible ones, they are the Nile and the Furat."Then the Frequented House was raised up to me. Then I was brought a vessel of wine, a vessel of milk, and a vessel of honey. I took the milk. Jibril said, "It is the natural disposition upon which you and your nation stand."Then fifty prayers each day were enjoined upon me. I returned and passed by Musa.He asked, "What have you been commanded?"I said, "I have been commanded with fifty prayers each day."He said, "Your nation cannot endure fifty prayers each day. By Allah, I have tested people before you and dealt with the Children of Israil with the utmost effort. Go back to your Lord and ask Him to lighten the burden for your nation."So I returned, and He reduced ten from me. I returned to Musa, and he said the same. I returned, and He reduced ten more. I returned to Musa, and he said the same. I returned, and He reduced ten more. I returned to Musa, and he said the same. I returned, and was commanded with ten prayers each day. I returned, and he said the same. I returned, and was commanded with five prayers each day. I returned to Musa.He asked, "What have you been commanded?"I said, "I have been commanded with five prayers each day."He said, "Your nation cannot endure five prayers each day. I have tested people before you and dealt with the Children of Israil with the utmost effort. Go back to your Lord and ask Him to lighten the burden for your nation."I said, "I have asked my Lord until I am ashamed, but I am content and submit."When I had passed beyond, a caller called out, "I have made My obligation binding and have lightened the burden upon My servants."
