The account of the Ascension
قِصَّةُ الْمِعْرَاجِ [ حَدِيثُ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنِ الْمِعْرَاجِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ؓ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِمَّا كَانَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، أُتِيَ بِالْمِعْرَاجِ، وَلَمْ أَرَ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَمُدُّ إلَيْهِ مَيِّتُكُمْ عَيْنَيْهِ إذَا حُضِرَ، فَأَصْعَدَنِي صَاحِبِي فِيهِ، حَتَّى انْتَهَى بِي إلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ السَّمَاءِ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: بَابُ الْحَفَظَةِ، عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ مِنْ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: إسْمَاعِيلُ، تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ، تَحْتَ يَدَيْ كُلِّ مَلَكٍ مِنْهُمْ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ - قَالَ: يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إلَّا هُوَ - فَلَمَّا دُخِلَ بِي، قَالَ: مَنْ هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ ؟ قَالَ: ( هَذَا ) مُحَمَّدُ. قَالَ: أَوَقَدْ بُعِثَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَدَعَا لِي بِخَيْرِ: وَقَالَهُ
Translation
✧ The story of the Miʿrāj [The ḥadīth of al-Khudrī concerning the Miʿrāj]. Ibn Isḥāq said: And he whom I do not suspect narrated to me from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī ؓ that he said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: When I had finished what was in the House of the Holy Sanctuary, the Miʿrāj was brought, and I never saw anything more beautiful than it. It is that to which your dying one stretches his eyes when he is attended. My companion caused me to ascend in it until he brought me to a gate among the gates of heaven, called the Gate of the Guardians. Over it was an angel among the angels, called Ismāʿīl, under whose hands were twelve thousand angels, under the hands of each angel among them twelve thousand angels. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said when he related this ḥadīth: 'And none knows the hosts of your Lord but He.' When he entered with me, he said: 'Who is this, O Jibrīl?' He said: 'This is Muḥammad.' He said: 'Has he been sent?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: Then he supplicated for good on my behalf and said it.
