اخبرنا الحسن بن سفيان الشيباني ، حدثنا هدبة بن خالد القيسي ، حدثنا همام بن يحيى ، حدثنا قتادة ، عن انس بن مالك ، عن مالك بن صعصعة ، ان نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حدثهم عن ليلة اسري به، قال: " بينما انا في الحطيم وربما، قال: في الحجر إذ اتاني آت، فشق ما بين هذه إلى هذه فقلت للجارود وهو إلى جنبي:" ما يعني به؟" قال: من ثغرة نحره إلى شعرته فاستخرج قلبي، ثم اتيت بطست من ذهب مملوءا إيمانا وحكمة، فغسل قلبي، ثم حشي، ثم اتيت بدابة دون البغل وفوق الحمار ابيض، فقال له الجارود: هو البراق يا ابا حمزة؟ قال انس: نعم، يقع خطوه عند اقصى طرفه فحملت عليه، فانطلق بي جبريل حتى اتى السماء الدنيا، فاستفتح، فقيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل، قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، قيل: وقد ارسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحبا به، فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح، فلما خلصت فيها آدم، فقال: هذا ابوك آدم، فسلم عليه، فسلمت عليه، فرد السلام ثم قال: مرحبا بالابن الصالح، والنبي الصالح، ثم صعد بي حتى اتى السماء الثانية، فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل، قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد، قيل: وقد ارسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحبا به فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح، فلما خلصت يحيى وعيسى وهما ابنا خالة، قال: هذا يحيى وعيسى، فسلم عليهما، فسلمت، فردا ثم قالا: مرحبا بالاخ الصالح، والنبي الصالح، ثم صعد بي إلى السماء الثالثة، فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل، قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، قيل: وقد ارسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحبا به، فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح، فلما خلصت يوسف، قال: هذا يوسف، فسلم عليه، فسلمت عليه، فرد ثم قال: مرحبا بالاخ الصالح، والنبي الصالح، ثم صعد بي حتى اتى السماء الرابعة، فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل، قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، قيل: او قد ارسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحبا به، فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح، فلما خلصت إدريس، قال: هذا إدريس، فسلم عليه، فسلمت عليه، فرد ثم قال: مرحبا بالاخ الصالح، والنبي الصالح، ثم صعد بي حتى اتى السماء الخامسة، فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، قيل: وقد ارسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحبا به، فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح، فلما خلصت هارون، قال: هذا هارون فسلم عليه، فسلمت عليه، فرد ثم قال: مرحبا بالاخ الصالح، والنبي الصالح، ثم صعد بي حتى اتى السماء السادسة، فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل، قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، قيل: او قد ارسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحبا به، فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح، فلما خلصت موسى، قال: هذا موسى، فسلم عليه، فسلمت عليه، فرد السلام، ثم قال: مرحبا بالاخ الصالح، والنبي الصالح، فلما تجاوزت بكى، قيل له: ما يبكيك؟ قال: ابكي لان غلاما بعث بعدي يدخل الجنة من امته اكثر ممن يدخلها من امتي، ثم صعد بي حتى اتى السماء السابعة، فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، قيل: وقد ارسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحبا به، فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح، فلما خلصت إبراهيم، قال: هذا ابوك إبراهيم، فسلم عليه، فسلمت عليه، فرد السلام ثم قال: مرحبا بالابن الصالح، والنبي الصالح، ثم رفعت إلى سدرة المنتهى، فنبقها مثل قلال هجر، وورقها مثل آذان الفيلة، قال: هذه سدرة المنتهى، واربعة انهار، نهران باطنان، ونهران ظاهران، فقلت: ما هذا يا جبريل؟ قال: اما الباطنان، فنهران في الجنة، واما الظاهران، فالنيل والفرات، ثم رفع لي البيت المعمور"، قال قتادة: وحدثنا الحسن، عن ابي هريرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، انه راى البيت المعمور، ويدخله كل يوم سبعون الف ملك، ثم لا يعودون فيه، ثم رجع إلى حديث انس:" ثم اتيت بآناء من خمر، وآناء من لبن، وآناء من عسل، فاخذت اللبن، فقال: هذه الفطرة، انت عليها وامتك، ثم فرضت علي الصلاة خمسين صلاة في كل يوم، فرجعت فمررت على موسى، فقال: بم امرت؟ قال: امرت بخمسين صلاة كل يوم، قال: إن امتك لا تستطيع خمسين صلاة كل يوم، وإني قد جربت الناس قبلك، وعالجت بني إسرائيل اشد المعالجة، فارجع إلى ربك فسله التخفيف لامتك، فرجعت، فوضع عني عشرا، فرجعت إلى موسى، فقال مثله، فرجعت، فوضع عني عشرا، فرجعت إلى موسى فقال مثله، فرجعت، فوضع عني عشرا، فرجعت إلى موسى فقال مثله، فرجعت، فامرت بعشر صلوات كل يوم، فرجعت إلى موسى، فقال مثله، فرجعت، فامرت بخمس صلوات كل يوم، فرجعت إلى موسى، فقال: بم امرت؟ قال: امرت بخمس صلوات كل يوم، قال: إن امتك لا تستطيع خمس صلوات كل يوم، وإني قد جربت الناس قبلك، وعالجت بني إسرائيل اشد المعالجة، فارجع إلى ربك فسله التخفيف لامتك، قال: قلت: سالت ربي حتى استحييت، لكني ارضى واسلم، فلما جاوزت ناداني مناد: امضيت فريضتي، وخففت عن عبادي" .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates the statement of Sayyiduna Malik bin Sa’sa’ah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed the people about the incident of Mi’raj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: One day I was sleeping in the Hatim.
(The narrator sometimes used the word“Hijr”for Hatim.)
During that time, a person came to me and split me from here to here. (The narrator says) Jarud, who was present by my side, I asked him: What does this mean? He replied: From below the throat to the place where the pubic hair grows (the part was split open). (The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, says:) Then he took out my heart, then a tray made of gold was brought, filled with faith and wisdom, then my heart was washed, then it was (placed back in its place and sewn up), then an animal was brought to me, which was a little smaller than a mule and a little bigger than a donkey. It was white in color. So Jarud said to him: O Abu Hamzah! Was it Buraq? Sayyiduna Anas said: Yes. Its step would reach as far as the eye could see. (The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, says:) I was mounted on it, Jibreel (peace be upon him) took me along towards the lowest heaven, he asked for the door to be opened: It was asked: Who is it? He replied: Jibreel. It was asked: Who is with you? He replied: Sayyiduna Muhammad. It was asked: Has he been called? Sayyiduna Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: Yes. So it was said: Welcome to him! How excellent is he who has come, and the door was opened. When I reached there, Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) was present there. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: This is your forefather, Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him). Greet him.

He replied: Jibreel. It was asked: Who is with you? He replied: Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). It was asked: Has he been called? He replied: Yes. So it was said: Welcome to him! How excellent is he who has come, and the door was opened.
When I reached there, Sayyiduna Yahya (peace be upon him) and Sayyiduna ‘Isa (peace be upon him) were present there. These two are maternal cousins. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: This is Sayyiduna Yahya (peace be upon him) and this is Sayyiduna ‘Isa (peace be upon him). Greet both of them. I greeted them, and both of them replied, then both said: Welcome to the righteous brother and righteous Prophet.

He asked for the door to be opened: It was asked: Who is it? He replied: Jibreel. It was asked: Who is with you? He replied: Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). It was asked: Has he been called? He replied: Yes.
So it was said: Welcome to him! How excellent is he who has come, and the door was opened.
When I reached there, Sayyiduna Idris (peace be upon him) was present there. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: This is Sayyiduna Idris (peace be upon him), greet him.
I greeted him, he replied to my greeting and then said: Welcome to the righteous brother and righteous Prophet. Then Jibreel (peace be upon him) took me to the fifth heaven. He asked for the door to be opened: It was asked: Who is it? I replied: Jibreel. It was asked: Who is with you? He replied: Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). It was asked: Has he been called? He replied: Yes. So it was said: Welcome to him! How excellent is he who has come, and the door was opened. When I reached there, Sayyiduna Harun (peace be upon him) was present there.

He replied: I am weeping because this young man who has been sent after me, the members of his Ummah will enter Paradise in greater numbers than the members of my Ummah.

Then I was raised towards Sidrat al-Muntaha, its fruit was as large as the jars of“Hijr”, and its leaves were like the ears of elephants. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: This is Sidrat al-Muntaha.
There were four rivers there, two hidden and two apparent.
I asked: O Jibreel (peace be upon him), what are these? He replied: As for the two hidden rivers, they are two rivers of Paradise, and as for the two apparent rivers, they are the Nile and the Euphrates.
Then I was raised towards Bayt al-Ma’mur.
Here, a narrator named Qatadah stated: Hasan narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Bayt al-Ma’mur. Every day seventy thousand angels enter it and never return to it again.
After this, Qatadah returned to the hadith of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), in which are these words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Then a vessel of wine, a vessel of milk, and a vessel of honey were brought before me, so I took the milk. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: This is the natural disposition upon which you and your Ummah will remain. Then fifty prayers were made obligatory upon me.
When I returned, I passed by Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), so he asked: What have you been commanded? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: I have been commanded to perform fifty prayers every day.
So Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) said: Your Ummah will not be able to perform fifty prayers every day. I have tested people before you and I have fully experienced Bani Israel.
Go back to your Lord and request a reduction for your Ummah. I returned (and made this request), so Allah Almighty reduced ten prayers.
Then I returned to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), and he said the same thing. I returned again, and Allah Almighty reduced (another) ten prayers. Then I returned to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), and he said the same thing. I returned again, and Allah Almighty reduced (another) ten prayers.

Go back to your Lord and request further reduction for your Ummah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I said: I have requested so much from my Lord that now I feel shy.
I am content and I accept it. When I passed by from there, a caller called out: I have established My obligation and have reduced it for My servants.
