[415] 263 - (163) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "Abû Dharr used to narrate that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The roof of my house was opened when I was in Makkah, and Jibrîl - ﷺ - came down and split open my chest, then he washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden basin filled with wisdom and faith and emptied it into my chest. Then he sealed it and took my hand, and took me up to heaven. When we came to the lowest heaven, Jibrîl [ﷺ] said to the keeper of the lowest heaven: 'Open up.' He said: 'Who is this?' He said: 'This is Jibrîl.' He said: 'Is there anyone with you?' He said: 'Yes, Muḥammad ﷺ is with me.' He said: 'Has he been sent for?' He said: 'Yes.' So he opened it, and when we went up into the lowest heaven, there was a man with crowds of people to his right and crowds of people to his left. When he looked to his right he laughed and when he looked to his left he wept. He said: 'Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous son.' I said: 'O Jibrîl, who is this?' He said: 'This is Âdam ﷺ, and these crowds of people to his right and his left are his progeny. The people on the right are the people of Paradise and the people on the left are the people of the Fire. When he looks to his right he laughs and when he looks to his left he weeps.' Then Jibrîl took me up to the second heaven and said to its keeper: 'Open up.' And its keeper said to him what the keeper of the lowest heaven had said, and he opened up." Anas bin Mâlik said: "He (ﷺ) said that he found in the heavens Âdam, Idrîs, 'Eisâ, Mûsâ and Ibrâhîm - (ﷺ) - but he did not say for certain what their positions were, except that he said that he saw Ādam - ﷺ - in the lowest heaven and Ibrāhīm in the sixth heaven. When Jibrīl and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed by Idrīs, he said: 'Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous brother.' He said: 'Then he passed by and I said: "Who is that?" He said: "This is Idrīs." He said: 'Then I passed by Mūsā - ﷺ - and he said: "Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous brother.' I said: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Mūsā." He said: 'Then I passed by 'Eisā and he said: "Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous brother.' I said: "Who is this?" He said: "This is 'Eisā bin Mariam." Then I passed by Ibrāhīm - ﷺ - and he said: "Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous son." I said: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Ibrāhīm." Ibn Shihāb said: "Ibn Hazm told me that Ibn 'Abbās and Abū Ḥabbah Al-Anṣārī used to say that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Then I was taken up until I reached a level where I could hear the scratching of the pens.'" Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Mālik said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Allâh enjoined upon my Ummah fifty prayers. I went back with that until I passed by Mûsâ, ﷺ, and Mûsâ said: "What did your Lord enjoin upon your Ummah?" I said: "He enjoined upon them fifty prayers." Mûsâ said to me: "Go back to your Lord, for your Ummah will not be able to do that." So I went back to my Lord and He waived half of it [for me]. Then I went back to Mûsâ, ﷺ, and told him. He said: "Go back to your Lord, for your Ummah will not be able to do that." So I went back to my Lord and He said: "They are five and they are fifty; My Word cannot change." So I went back to Mûsâ and he said: "Go back to your Lord." I said: "I feel too shy before my Lord." Then Jibrîl set off with me until we reached As-Sidrat Al-Muntahâ, (the Lote-Tree of the Utmost Boundary) which was covered with colors, I do not know what they are. Then I entered Paradise and saw that its domes were pearls and its earth was musk."
