4716. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما regarding — "And We made not the vision which We showed you (O Muḥammad as an actual eye-witness and not as a dream on the night of Al-Isrā') but a trial for mankind..." (V.17:60): It was an actual eye-witness, and not as a dream at the night of Al-Isrā', which was shown to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ during the night he was taken on a journey. And the cursed tree is the tree of Az-Zaqqūm (a bitter pungent tree which grows at the bottom of Hell).
