Hazrat Zir narrates from Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Yaman that Buraq was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). It was a long, white animal that would place its hoof at the farthest point seen. The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Jibreel rode on its back until both reached Bayt al-Maqdis, and the gates of the heavens were opened for them. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Paradise and Hell. The narrator says: Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray in Bayt al-Maqdis. Hazrat Zir says that I asked: Why not? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did pray. Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O bald one! What is your name? I recognize your face but do not know your name. Hazrat Zir says: I replied: Zir bin Hubaysh. The narrator says: He said: The command of Allah is: { سُبْحَانَ الَّذِی أَسْرَی بِعَبْدِہِ لَیْلاً مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إلَی الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَی الَّذِی بَارَکْنَا حَوْلَہُ لِنُرِیَہُ مِنْ آیَاتِنَا، إِنَّہُ ہُوَ السَّمِیعُ الْبَصِیرُ } Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Did you find the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praying there? If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had prayed in Bayt al-Maqdis, we would have prayed with him just as we prayed with him in Masjid al-Haram. Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tie the animal to the ring with which the Prophets used to tie (their animals)? Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fear that it would run away, even though Allah Almighty had brought it?
