أخبرنا يعقوب بن إبراهيم، قال حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد، قال حدثنا هشام الدستوائي، قال حدثنا قتادة، عن أنس بن مالك، عن مالك بن صعصعة، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ‏"‏ بينا أنا عند البيت بين النائم واليقظان إذ أقبل أحد الثلاثة بين الرجلين فأتيت بطست من ذهب ملآن حكمة وإيمانا فشق من النحر إلى مراق البطن فغسل القلب بماء زمزم ثم ملئ حكمة وإيمانا ثم أتيت بدابة دون البغل وفوق الحمار ثم انطلقت مع جبريل عليه السلام فأتينا السماء الدنيا فقيل من هذا قال جبريل ‏.‏ قيل ومن معك قال محمد ‏.‏ قيل وقد أرسل إليه مرحبا به ونعم المجيء جاء فأتيت على آدم عليه السلام فسلمت عليه قال مرحبا بك من ابن ونبي ‏.‏ ثم أتينا السماء الثانية قيل من هذا قال جبريل ‏.‏ قيل ومن معك قال محمد فمثل ذلك فأتيت على يحيى وعيسى فسلمت عليهما فقالا مرحبا بك من أخ ونبي ‏.‏ ثم أتينا السماء الثالثة قيل من هذا قال جبريل ‏.‏ قيل ومن معك قال محمد فمثل ذلك فأتيت على يوسف عليه السلام فسلمت عليه قال مرحبا بك من أخ ونبي ‏.‏ ثم أتينا السماء الرابعة فمثل ذلك فأتيت على إدريس عليه السلام فسلمت عليه فقال مرحبا بك من أخ ونبي ‏.‏ ثم أتينا السماء الخامسة فمثل ذلك فأتيت على هارون عليه السلام فسلمت عليه قال مرحبا بك من أخ ونبي ‏.‏ ثم أتينا السماء السادسة فمثل ذلك ثم أتيت على موسى عليه السلام فسلمت عليه فقال مرحبا بك من أخ ونبي ‏.‏ فلما جاوزته بكى قيل ما يبكيك قال يا رب هذا الغلام الذي بعثته بعدي يدخل من أمته الجنة أكثر وأفضل مما يدخل من أمتي ‏.‏ ثم أتينا السماء السابعة فمثل ذلك فأتيت على إبراهيم عليه السلام فسلمت عليه فقال مرحبا بك من ابن ونبي ‏.‏ ثم رفع لي البيت المعمور فسألت جبريل فقال هذا البيت المعمور يصلي فيه كل يوم سبعون ألف ملك فإذا خرجوا منه لم يعودوا فيه آخر ما عليهم ثم رفعت لي سدرة المنتهى فإذا نبقها مثل قلال هجر وإذا ورقها مثل آذان الفيلة وإذا في أصلها أربعة أنهار نهران باطنان ونهران ظاهران فسألت جبريل فقال أما الباطنان ففي الجنة وأما الظاهران فالفرات والنيل ثم فرضت على خمسون صلاة فأتيت على موسى فقال ما صنعت قلت فرضت على خمسون صلاة ‏.‏ قال إني أعلم بالناس منك إني عالجت بني إسرائيل أشد المعالجة وإن أمتك لن يطيقوا ذلك فارجع إلى ربك فاسأله أن يخفف عنك فرجعت إلى ربي فسألته أن يخفف عني فجعلها أربعين ثم رجعت إلى موسى عليه السلام فقال ما صنعت قلت جعلها أربعين ‏.‏ فقال لي مثل مقالته الأولى فرجعت إلى ربي عز وجل فجعلها ثلاثين فأتيت على موسى عليه السلام فأخبرته فقال لي مثل مقالته الأولى فرجعت إلى ربي فجعلها عشرين ثم عشرة ثم خمسة فأتيت على موسى عليه السلام فقال لي مثل مقالته الأولى فقلت إني أستحي من ربي عز وجل أن أرجع إليه فنودي أن قد أمضيت فريضتي وخففت عن عبادي وأجزي بالحسنة عشر أمثالها ‏"‏ ‏.‏
 It was narrated from Anas bin Malik, from Malik bin Sa'sa'ah, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:                      "While I was at the Ka'bah, in a state between sleep and wakefulness, three men came, and one of them who was in the middle came toward me. I was brought a basin of gold, filled with wisdom and faith, and he slit open from the throat to the lower abdomen, and washed the heart with Zamzam water, then - "it was filled with wisdom and faith. Then I was brought a riding-beast, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey. I set off with Jibril, peace be upon him, and we came to the lowest heaven. It was said: 'Who is with you?' He said: 'Muhammad.' It was said: 'Has (revelation) been sent to him? Welcome to him, what an excellent visit his is.' I came to Adam, peace be upon him, and greeted him, and he said: 'Welcome to you! What an excellent son and Prophet.' Then we came to the second heaven and it was said: 'Who is this?' He said: 'Jibra'il.' [1] It was said: 'Who is with you?' he said: 'Muhammad.' And the same exchange took place. I came to Yahya and 'Eisa, peace be upon them both, and greeted them, and they said: 'Welcome to you! What an excellent brother and Prophet.' Then we came to the third heaven and it was said: 'Who is this?' He said: 'Jibra'il.' It was said: 'Who is with you?' He said: 'Muhammad.' And the same exchange took place. I came to Yusuf, peace be upon him, and greeted him, and he said: 'Welcome to you! What an excellent brother and Prophet.' Then we came to the fourth heaven and the same exchange took place. I came to Idris, peace be upon him, and greeted him, and he said: 'Welcome to you! What an excellent brother and Prophet.' Then we came to the fifth heaven and the same exchange took place. I came to Harun, peace be upon him, and greeted him, and he said: 'Welcome to you! What an excellent brother and Prophet.' Then we came to the sixth heaven and the same exchange took place. I came to Musa, peace be upon him, and greeted him, and he said: 'Welcome to you! What an excellent brother and Prophet.' What I passed him, he wept, and it was said: 'Why are you weeping?' He said: 'O Lord, this young man whom You have sent after me, more of his Ummah will enter Paradise than from my nation, and they will be more virtuous than them.' Then we came to the seventh heaven and a similar exchange took place. I came to Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and greeted him, and he said: 'Welcome to you! What an excellent son and Prophet.' Then I was taken up to the Oft-Frequented House (Al-Bait al-Ma'mur) and I asked Jibra'il about it, and he said: 'This is Al-Bait al-Ma'mur in which seventy thousand angels pray everyday, and when they leave it they never come back.' Then I was taken up to Sidrah Al-Muntaha (the Lote-Tree of the Utmost Boundary). Its fruits were like Qilal [2] of Hajar and its leaves were like the ears of elephants. At its base were four rivers: Two hidden rivers and two manifest rivers. I asked Jibril (About them) and he said: 'The two hidden ones are in paradise, and the two manifest ones are the Euphrates and the Nile.' Then fifty prayers were enjoined upon me. I came to Musa and he said: 'What happened?' I said: 'Fifty prayers have been enjoined upon me.' He said: 'I know more about the people than you. I tried hard with the Children of Israel. Your Ummah will never be able to bear that. Go back to your Lord and ask Him to reduce it for you.' So I went back to my Lord and asked Him to reduce it, and He made it forty. Then I went back to Musa, peace be upon him, and he said: 'What happened?' I said: 'He made it forty.' He said to me something similar to what he said the first time, so I went back to my Lord and He made it thirty. I came to Musa, peace be upon him, and told him, and he said to me something similar to what he said the first time, so I went back to my Lord and he made it twenty, then ten, then five. I came to Musa, peace be upon him, and he said to me something like he had said the first time, but I said: 'I feel too shy before my Lord to go back to Him.' Then it was called out: 'I have decreed (the reward for) My obligation, and I have reduced the burden for My slaves and I will give a ten-fold reward for each good deed.'"[1] It is like this here, while it is Jibra'il the first time it appears in this narration, and Jibra'il is often used in the Hadith literature.[2] Plural of Qullah
