Hadith 36:38
Hawdha ibn Khalifa narrated to us, he said: Awf narrated to us, from Zurara ibn Awfa, who said: Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When it was the night I was taken on the Night Journey, I woke up in the morning in Mecca. I felt distressed by my affair, and I knew that the people would call me a liar." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sat down, isolated and sad. Abu Jahl passed by him and came until he sat with him. He said, as if mocking: "Has anything happened?" He said: "Yes." He said: "And what is it?" He said: "I was taken on the Night Journey tonight." He said: "To where?" He said: "To Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem)." He said: "Then you woke up this morning among us?" He said: "Yes." He did not want to call him a liar, fearing that he would deny the hadith if he called his people to it. He said: "Will you tell your people what you told me if I call them to you?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Come, O assembly of Banu Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy, come here!" The gatherings dispersed, and they came until they sat with them both. He said: "Tell your people what you told me." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I was taken on the Night Journey tonight." They said: "To where?" He said: "To Bayt al-Maqdis." They said: "Then you woke up this morning among us?" He said: "Yes." Some began to clap, and some began to place their hands on their heads, astonished at the lie they claimed. They said: "Can you describe the mosque to us?" He said: And among the people were those who had traveled to that land and seen the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "So I began to describe it to them, and I kept describing until some of the description became confused for me. Then the mosque was brought while I was looking at it, until it was placed before the house of Aqil or the house of Aqal. I described it while I was looking at it." The people said: "As for the description, by Allah, he has gotten it right."
حدثنا هوذة بن خليفة قال حدثنا عوف عن زرارة بن أوفى قال قال بن عباس قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لما كان ليلة أسري بي أصبحت بمكة قال فظعت بأمري وعرفت أن الناس مكذبي فقعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم معتزلا حزينا فمر به أبو جهل فجاء حتى جلس إليه فقال كالمستهزئ هل كان من شيء قال نعم قال وما هو قال أسري بي الليلة قال إلى أين قال إلى بيت المقدس قال ثم أصبحت بين أظهرنا قال نعم فلم يرد أنه يكذبه مخافة أن يجحد الحديث إن دعا قومه إليه قال أتحدث قومك ما حدثتني إن دعوتهم إليك قال نعم قال هيا معشر بني كعب بن لؤي هلم قال فتنفضت المجالس فجاؤوا حتى جلسوا إليهما فقال حدث قومك ما حدثتني قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إني أسري بي الليلة قالوا إلى أين قال إلى بيت المقدس قالوا ثم أصبحت بين ظهرانينا قال نعم قال فمن بين مصفق ومن بين واضع يده على رأسه متعجبا للكذب زعم وقالوا أتستطيع أن تنعت لنا المسجد قال وفي القوم من سافر إلى ذلك البلد ورأى المسجد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذهبت أنعت لهم فما زلت أنعت حتى التبس علي بعض النعت فجيء بالمسجد وأنا أنظر إليه حتى وضع دون دار عقيل أو دار عقال فنعته وأنا أنظر إليه فقال القوم أما النعت فوالله لقد أصاب
