Al-Nasāʾī transmitted the second half of the report on the authority of Ibn Shihāb, who said: “Ibn Ḥazm informed me that Ibn ʿAbbās and Abū Ḥabbah …” to the end of the chain, from Yūnus—and our own chain to Yūnus is higher than his.

Hammām said, “I heard Qatādah narrating from Anas that Mālik ibn Ṣaʿṣaʿah told him that the Prophet of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, related to them the events of the night he was taken on the Night Journey. He said:

It was asked, “Who is this?” He replied, “Gabriel.” They asked, “And who is with you?” He said, “Muḥammad.” They asked, “Has he been sent for?” He said, “Yes.” They said, “Welcome to him; what an excellent arrival!” The gate was opened, and when I had entered I found Adam there.
