Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), in explanation of the following verse: «﴿وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِلنَّاسِ﴾ [الإسراء: 60] » "And We did not make the vision which We showed you except as a trial for the people," says that what is meant by this is that which was shown to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his eyes while awake during the Night of Ascension (Mi'raj).
