Thabit al-Bunani from Anas (RA)
ثابت البناني عن أنس
Hadith 117:225
Hadba narrated to us, Hammad bin Salamah narrated to us, Thabit informed us, from Anas bin Malik, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought the Buraq, and it is a white beast, above the donkey and below the mule; it places its hoof where its sight ends. He said: So I rode it until it traveled with me until I came to Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). I tied the beast to the ring to which the prophets tie [their mounts]. Then I entered the mosque and prayed two rak'ahs in it. Then I went out, and Gabriel came to me with a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. I took the milk, and Gabriel said to me: "You have chosen the natural state (fitrah)." Then we ascended to the lowest heaven. Gabriel asked for it to be opened, and it was said: "Who are you?" He said: "Gabriel." It was said: "And who is with you?" He said: "Muhammad." It was said: "Has he been sent for?" He said: "He has been sent for." So it was opened for us, and there I was with Adam, who welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the second heaven. Gabriel asked for it to be opened, and it was said: "Who are you?" He said: "Gabriel." It was said: "And who is with you?" He said: "Muhammad." It was said: "Has he been sent for?" He said: "He has been sent for." So it was opened for us, and there I was with the two cousins, Yahya (John) and Isa (Jesus), and they welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the third heaven. Gabriel asked for it to be opened, and it was said: "Who are you?" He said: "Gabriel." It was said: "And who is with you?" He said: "Muhammad." It was said: "Has he been sent for?" He said: "He has been sent for." So it was opened for us, and there I was with Yusuf (Joseph), and he had been given half of beauty. He welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the fourth heaven. Gabriel asked for it to be opened, and it was said: "Who are you?" He said: "Gabriel." It was said: "And who is with you?" He said: "Muhammad." It was said: "Has he been sent for?" He said: "He has been sent for." So it was opened for us, and there I was with Idris (Enoch), and he welcomed me and prayed for my good. He said: Allah says: "And We raised him to a high station." Then we ascended to the fifth heaven. Gabriel asked for it to be opened, and it was said: "Who are you?" He said: "Gabriel." It was said: "And who is with you?" He said: "Muhammad." It was said: "Has he been sent for?" He said: "He has been sent for." So it was opened for us, and there was Harun (Aaron), and he welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the sixth heaven. Gabriel asked for it to be opened, and it was said: "Who are you?" He said: "Gabriel." It was said: "And who is with you?" He said: "Muhammad." It was said: "Has he been sent for?" He said: "He has been sent for." So it was opened for us, and there I was with Ibrahim (Abraham), and he was leaning his back against the House (the Frequented House), into which seventy thousand angels enter every day, then they do not return to it. Then he took me to the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary (Sidrat al-Muntaha), and its leaves were like the ears of elephants, and its fruits were like large jars. When it was covered by what covered it from the command of Allah, it changed, and no one among the creation of Allah can describe it due to its beauty. He said: Then it was revealed to me what was revealed, and fifty prayers were enjoined upon me every day. He said: So I descended to Musa (Moses), and he said: "What was enjoined upon your nation?" I said: "Fifty prayers every day and night." He said: "Your nation cannot bear that, so return to your Lord and ask Him for a reduction." He said: So I returned to my Lord and said: "O my Lord, lighten [the burden] on my nation." So He removed five from me. I returned to Musa and he said: "What did you do?" I said: "He removed five from me." He said: "Your nation cannot bear that; return to your Lord and ask Him for a reduction." I kept returning to my Lord and asking Him for a reduction, between my Lord and Musa, until He said: "O Muhammad, they are five prayers every day and night; for every prayer is ten, so that is fifty prayers. Whoever intends a good deed and does not do it, it is written for him as a good deed, and if he does it, it is written as ten. And whoever intends a bad deed and does not do it, nothing is written against him, and if he does it, it is written as one bad deed." So I returned to Musa and informed him. He said: "Return to your Lord and ask Him for a reduction." He said: "I have returned to my Lord until I felt shy."
حدثنا هدبة حدثنا حماد بن سلمة أخبرنا ثابت عن أنس بن مالك * أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أتي بالبراق وهو دابة أبيض فوق الحمار ودون البغل يضع حافره حيث ينتهي طرفه قال فركبته حتى سار بي حتى أتيت على بيت المقدس فربطت الدابة بالحلقة التي تربط بها الأنبياء ثم دخلت المسجد فصليت فيه ركعتين ثم خرجت فأتاني جبريل بإناء من خمر وإناء من لبن فأخذت اللبن فقال لي جبريل اخترت الفطرة قال ثم عرج بنا إلى السماء الدنيا فاستفتح جبريل فقيل من أنت فقال جبريل فقيل من معك قال محمد قيل وقد أرسل إليه قال قد أرسل إليه ففتح لنا فإذا أنا بآدم فرحب ودعا لي بخير ثم عرج بنا إلى السماء الثانية فاستفتح جبريل فقيل من أنت قال جبريل قيل ومن معك قال محمد قيل وقد أرسل إليه قال قد أرسل إليه ففتح لنا فإذا أنا بابني الخالة يحيى وعيسى فرحبا بي ودعوا لي بخير ثم عرج بنا إلى السماء الثالثة فاستفتح جبريل فقيل من أنت قال جبريل فقيل ومن معك قال محمد قيل أو قد أرسل إليه قال قد أرسل إليه ففتح لنا فإذا أنا بيوسف وإذا هو قد أعطي شطر الحسن فرحب ودعا لي بخير ثم عرج بنا إلى السماء الرابعة فاستفتح جبريل فقيل من أنت قال جبريل فقيل ومن معك قال محمد قيل وقد أرسل إليه قد أرسل إليه ففتح لنا فإذا أنا بإدريس فرحب ودعا لي بخير قال يقول الله ورفعناه مكانا عليا ثم عرج بنا إلى السماء الخامسة فاستفتح جبريل فقيل من أنت فقال جبريل فقيل ومن معك قال محمد قيل أو قد أرسل إليه قال قد أرسل إليه ففتح لنا فإذا بهارون فرحب ودعا لي بخير ثم عرج بنا إلى السماء السادسة فاستفتح جبريل فقيل من أنت قال جبريل قيل ومن معك قال محمد قيل قد أرسل إليه قال قد أرسل إليه ففتح لنا فإذا أنا بإبراهيم وإذا هو مسند ظهره إلى البيت فيدخل كل يوم سبعون ألف ملك ثم لا يعودون إليه ثم ذهب بي إلى سدرة المنتهى فإذا ورقها كآذان الفيلة وإذا ثمرها كالقلال فلما غشيها من أمر الله ما غشي تغيرت فما أحد من خلق الله يحسن يصفها من حسنها قال فأوحي إلي ما أوحي وفرضت علي في كل يوم خمسون صلاة قال فنزلت إلى موسى فقال ما فرض على أمتك قال قلت خمسين صلاة في كل يوم وليلة قال إن أمتك لا تطيق ذلك فارجع إلى ربك فاسأله التخفيف قال فرجعت إلى ربي فقلت أي رب خفف عن أمتي فحط عني خمسا فرجعت إلى موسى فقال ما فعلت قال قلت حط عني خمسا قال إن أمتك لا تطيق ذلك ارجع إلى ربك فسأله التخفيف فلم أزل أرجع إلى ربي فأسأله التخفيف فيما بين ربي وبين موسى حتى قال يا محمد هي خمس صلوات في كل يوم وليلة بكل صلاة عشر فتلك خمسون صلاة ومن هم بحسنة فلم يعملها كتبت له حسنة وإن عملها كتبت عشرا ومن هم بسيئة فلم يعملها لم يكتب عليه شيء وإن عملها كتبت سيئة واحدة فرجعت إلى موسى فأخبرته قال ارجع إلى ربك فاسأله التخفيف قال قد رجعت إلى ربي حتى استحييت
