[416] 264 - (164) It was narrated from Anas - perhaps he said from Mâlik bin Sha'âh, one of his people - that he said: "The Prophet of Allâh ﷺ said: 'While I was at the House (i.e., the
Ka'bah), in a state between sleep and wakefulness, I heard someone say: 'One of the three, between the other two men.' Then they came and took me off, and a golden basin full of Zamzam water was brought. My chest was opened from here to here'" - (one of the narrators) Qatâdah said: "I said to the one who was with me: 'What does that mean?' He said: 'To the lower part of the abdomen'" - "and my heart was taken out and washed with Zamzam water, then put back in its place and filled with faith and wisdom.
"Then a white beast was brought to me, called Al-Burâq - which was bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule, whose stride reaches as far as he can see - and I was mounted on it. Then we set off until we came to the lowest heaven. Jibrîl - ﷺ - asked for it to be opened and it was said: "Who is this?" He said: "Jibrîl." It was said: "Who is with you?" He said: "Muḥammad ﷺ." It was said: "Has he been sent for?" He said: "Yes." So he opened up for us and said, "Welcome, what a blessed arrival." And we came to Âdam - ﷺ..."
And he quoted the same Hadîth (no. 415), mentioning that in the second heaven he met 'Eisâ and Yahyâ, ﷺ, in the third, Yûsuf in the fourth Idrîs, and in the fifth
Harûn ﷺ. He said: "Then we went on until we came to the sixth heaven, and I came to Mûsâ ﷺ and greeted him with Salâm ﷺ. He said: 'Welcome to the righteous brother and the righteous Prophet.' When I passed by him, he wept and a voice called out: 'Why are you weeping?' He said: 'O Lord, You have sent this young man after me, and more of his Ummah will enter Paradise than mine.' Then we went on until we came to the seventh heaven, where I came to Ibrâhîm, ﷺ."
And he said in his Hadith: "The Prophet of Allâh ﷺ narrated that he saw four rivers flowing from its roots, two visible rivers and two hidden ones: 'I said: "O Jibrîl, what are these rivers?" He said: "As for the two hidden rivers, they are two rivers in Paradise, and as for the two visible ones, they are the Nile and the Euphrates." Then Al-Bait Al-Ma'mûr (Much-Frequented House) was raised up for me, and I said: "O Jibrîl, what is this?" He said: "This is the Much-Frequented House. Every day seventy thousand Angels enter it and when they depart from it, they never return to it." Then two vessels were brought to me, one of wine and one of milk; they were offered to me and I chose the milk. It was said: "You did right; Allâh guided you to what is
right and your Ummah will adhere to the Fitrah.' Then fifty prayers were enjoined upon me every day..." Then he quoted the rest of the Hadīth (no. 415).
