Sirat Ibn Hisham 468
[ جَوَازُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْإِسْرَاءُ رُؤْيَا ] فَلَمْ يُنْكَرْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمَا لِقَوْلِ الْحَسَنِ: إنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ، قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَلِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فِي الْخَبَرِ عَنْ إبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إذْ قَالَ لِابْنِهِ: يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ ثُمَّ مَضَى عَلَى ذَلِكَ. فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الْوَحْيَ مِنْ اللَّهِ يَأْتِي الْأَنْبِيَاءَ أَيْقَاظًا وَنِيَامًا. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي - يَقُولُ: تَنَامُ عَيْنَايَ وَقَلْبِي يَقْظَانُ. وَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَيَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ قَدْ جَاءَهُ، وَعَايَنَ فِيهِ مَا عَايَنَ، مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ، عَلَى أَيِّ حَالَيْهِ كَانَ: نَائِمًا، أَوْ يَقْظَانَ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ حَقٌّ وَصِدْقٌ
Translation
✧ The permissibility that the Isrāʾ may have been a vision. Neither of their statements is denied, because of al-Ḥasan’s saying: This verse was revealed concerning that—the saying of Allāh, blessed and exalted: “And We made not the vision which We showed you except as a trial for mankind” (Q 17:60)—and because of the saying of Allāh, exalted, in the report about Ibrāhīm ﷺ when he said to his son: “O my son, I see in sleep that I am slaughtering you” (Q 37:102), then he proceeded with that. Thus I know that revelation from Allāh comes to the prophets both awake and asleep. Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ—as has reached me—used to say: “My two eyes sleep, but my heart is awake.” And Allāh knows best which of these came to him and what he witnessed therein of Allāh’s command, in whichever of his two states he was—asleep or awake. All of that is true and veracious.
