Al-Isra wal-Miraj wa Dhikr Ahadithihima wa Takhrijiha wa Bayan Sahihiha - Nasir al-Din al-Albani - (13)

I returned to Moses and said, “He has reduced it by half.” He replied, “Go back to your Lord, for your community will not be able to bear that.” So I went back, and He reduced it by half once more.

I came back to him, and he said, “Go back to your Lord, for your community will not be able to bear it.”

I pleaded again, and He said, “They are five, yet they count as fifty; My word is never changed in My presence.”

I returned to Moses, who said, “Go back to your Lord,” but I answered, “I feel shy before my Lord.”

Then Gabriel took me on until we reached the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, and it was veiled in colors I cannot describe.

Next I was admitted into Paradise, where I saw domes—another report says: hollow canopies1—of pearl, and its soil was musk.”

It was recorded by al-Bukhārī (349, 1636, 3342) and Muslim (263). Al-Nasā’ī related part of it at the beginning of the chapter on prayer but did not mention Abū Dharr. ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad (5/143–144) also narrated it, but he mentioned Abū Dharr.

(1) This is the correct wording; the first version is a scribal mistake and has the same meaning as the forthcoming narration that reads: "qubab al-lu'lu" (domes of pearl). See Fath al-Bari, 1:463.

[قال: م] فرجعت إلى موسى قلت: وضع شطرها. فقال: راجع ربك فإن أمتك لا تطيق فراجعت فوضع شطرها. فرجعت إليه فقال: ارجع إلى ربك فإن أمتك لا تطيق ذلك [قال: م] فراجعته فقال: هي خمس وهي خمسون لا يبدل القول لدي. [قال: م] فرجعت إلى موسى فقال: راجع ربك. فقلت: استحييت من ربي. [قال: م] ثم انطلق بي [جبريل: م] حتى انتهى بي إلى سدرة المنتهى فغشيها ألوان لا أدري ما هي؟ [قال: م] ثم أدخلت الجنة فإذا فيها حبائل وفي رواية: جنابذ: [خ عبد] ١ اللؤلؤ وإذا ترابها المسك". أخرجه البخاري ٣٤٩ و ١٦٣٦ و ٣٣٤٢ ومسلم ٢٦٣ وروى النسائي بعضه في أول الصلاة لكنه لم يذكر أبا ذر. ورواه عبد الله بن أحمد ٥/١٤٣ - ١٤٤ لكنه ذكر أبي

١ هذا هو الصواب والرواية الأولى مصحفة وهو بمعنى الرواية الآتية بلفظ: قباب اللؤلؤ. انظر الفتح ١/٤٦٣.
