When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, he said, "Whatever ascends from the earth and whatever descends from above comes to its end at this tree." He said that Allah granted him there three things that He had not granted to any prophet before him. The five daily prayers were prescribed for him, he was given the closing verses of Surah al-Baqarah, and the grave sins of his nation were forgiven, so long as they did not associate anything with Allah.Ibn Masud said regarding the verse "When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered it" [Najm 53:16], "The Lote Tree is in the sixth heaven."Sufyan said, "Moths of gold," and Sufyan gestured with his hand, trembling it.Someone other than Malik bin Mughul said, "At it ends the knowledge of created beings. They have no knowledge of what lies beyond it."
حدثنا ابن أبي عمر حدثنا سفيان عن مالك بن مغول عن طلحة بن مصرف عن مرة
لما بلغ رسول الله ﷺ سدرة المنتهى قال انتهى إليها ما يعرج من الأرض وما ينزل من فوق قال فأعطاه الله عندها ثلاثا لم يعطهن نبيا كان قبله فرضت عليه الصلاة خمسا وأعطي خواتيم سورة البقرة وغفر لأمته المقحمات ما لم يشركوا بالله شيئا قال ابن مسعود {إذ يغشى السدرة ما يغشى} قال السدرة في السماء السادسة قال سفيان فراش من ذهب وأشار سفيان بيده فأرعدها وقال غير مالك بن مغول إليها ينتهي علم الخلق لا علم لهم بما فوق ذلك
