Musnad Ahmad 2324

Translation

✧ On the night the Prophet of Allah ﷺ was taken on the night journey and entered Paradise, he heard a faint sound in one of its sides. He said: "O Jibril, what is this?" He said: "This is Bilal, the muezzin." So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said when he came to the people: "Bilal has succeeded; I saw for him such and such." He said: Then Musa met him and welcomed him, saying: "Welcome to the unlettered Prophet." He said: He was a dark, tall man with straight hair reaching his ears or above them. He said: "Who is this, O Jibril?" He said: "This is Musa ﷺ." He said: Then he went on, and 'Isa met him and welcomed him, and he said: "Who is this, O Jibril?" He said: "This is 'Isa." He said: Then he went on, and a venerable, awe-inspiring old man met him and welcomed him and greeted him—and all of them greeted him. He said: "Who is this, O Jibril?" He said: "This is your father Ibrahim." He said: Then he looked into the Fire, and there was a group eating carrion. He said: "Who are these, O Jibril?" He said: "These are those who eat the flesh of people." And he saw a red, blue-eyed man with curly, disheveled hair, when you see him—he said: "Who is this, O Jibril?" He said: "This is the one who hamstrung the she-camel." He said: When the Prophet ﷺ entered the farthest mosque, he stood to pray, then turned and found all the prophets praying with him. When he finished, two cups were brought, one on the right and the other on the left, in one of them milk and in the other honey. He took the milk and drank from it. The one who had the cup with him said: "You have chosen the natural disposition."
