Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates the hadith of Isra and says: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Then we were taken up to the fourth heaven. When Jibril, peace be upon him, requested for the door to be opened, he was asked: Who are you? He said: I am Jibril. Then it was asked: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. It was then said: Has he been sent for? He said: Yes, he has been called. So the door was opened. Suddenly, I saw Idris, peace be upon him. He greeted me with welcome and prayed for goodness and well-being for me. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah Almighty says: {وَرَفَعْنَاہُمَکَانًاعَلِیًّا} And We raised him to a high station.

Brief Explanation
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik radi Allahu anhu, while narrating the hadith of Isra, says: The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Then we were taken up towards the fourth heaven. When Jibril alayhis salam requested for the door to be opened, it was asked of him: Who are you? He said: I am Jibril. Then it was asked: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So it was said: Has a message been sent to him? He said: Yes, he has been called. Thus, the door was opened. Suddenly, I saw Idris alayhis salam. He greeted me with welcome and prayed for goodness and well-being for me. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Allah the Exalted says: {وَرَفَعْنَاہُمَکَانًاعَلِیًّا} “And We raised him to a high station.”
