English translation

453. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the prayers were enjoined in Makkah, and that two angels came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and took him to Zamzam, where they split open his stomach and took out his innards in a basin of gold, and washed them with Zamzam water, then they filled his heart with wisdom and knowledge. (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

452 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ رَبِّهِ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ الْبُنَانِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ «الصَّلَوَاتِ فُرِضَتْ بِمَكَّةَ» وَأَنَّ «مَلَكَيْنِ أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَذَهَبَا بِهِ إِلَى زَمْزَمَ، فَشَقَّا بَطْنَهُ , وَأَخْرَجَا حَشْوهُ فِي طَسْتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَغَسَّلَاهُ بِمَاءِ زَمْزَمَ، ثُمَّ كَبَسَا جَوْفَهُ حِكْمَةً وَعِلْمًا»

Commentary

1. In the lengthy Hadîth of the Ascension, only the washing of the heart is mentioned. In this narration, mention is made of things besides the heart. So the aim had been to cleanse the heart, but along with the heart, by way of natural order, veins etc. were also washed. 2. The Ascension, by consensus, took place in Makkah (although there is a difference of opinion concerning its date). The five daily prayers were made obligatory during the Ascension; therefore, the compulsion of the prayer is, by consensus, of the Makkan period.
