Hadith 3342

قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : يُذْكَرُ بِخَيْرٍ سَلامٌ عَلَى إِلْ يَاسِينَ سورة الصافات آية 130 إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ سورة الصافات آية 131 إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سورة الصافات آية 132 يُذْكَرُ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ إِلْيَاسَ هُوَ إِدْرِيسُ .
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said regarding «تركنا عليه في الآخرين‏» that they will be remembered with goodness. Peace be upon Ilyasin. Indeed, thus do We reward the doers of good. Indeed, he was among Our believing servants. It is narrated from Ibn Abbas and Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them) that Ilyas was the name of Idris (peace be upon him).

Narrated Anas (ra): Abu Dhar (ra) used to say that Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "While I was at Makkah, the roof of my house was opened and Jibril descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith, and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the heaven. When Jibril reached the nearest heaven, he said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'who is it?' Jibril answered, 'Jibril'. He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Jibril replied, 'Muhammad (saws) is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?', Jibril said, 'Yes'. So, the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven, and there we saw a man sitting with Aswida (a large number of people) of his right and Aswida on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked towards his left he wept. He said (to me), 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son'. I said, 'Who is this man O Jibril?' Jibril replied, 'He is Adam, and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on the right are the people of Paradise, and those on the left are the people of the (Hell) Fire. So, when he looks to the right, he laughs, and when he looks to the left he weeps.' Then Jibril ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and said to the gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven has said, and he opened the gate."Anas added: Abu Dhar mentioned that Prophet (saws) met Idris, Musa (Moses), 'Isa (Jesus) and Ibrahim (Abraham) over the heavens, but he did not specify their places (i.e., on which heavens each of them was), but he mentioned that he (the Prophet (saws)) had met Adam on the nearest heaven, and Ibrahim on the sixth. Anas said, "When Jibril and the Prophet (saws) passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' the Prophet (saws) asked, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Idris.' " The Prophet (saws) added, "Then I passed by Musa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Musa.' Then I passed by 'Isa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is 'Isa.' Then I passed by the Prophet Ibrahim who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is Ibrahim'."Narrated Ibn 'Abbas and Abu Haiyya Al-Ansari: The Prophet (saws) said, "Then Jibril ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik state the Prophet (saws) said, "Allah enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on me. When I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Musa who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on them.' On the Musa said to me, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction), for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord and asked for some reduction, and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Musa again and informed him about it, he once more said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord similarly as before, and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Musa and he said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' I again returned to my Lord and He said, 'These are five (Salat-prayers) and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward), for My Word does not change.' I returned to Musa, he again told me to return to my Lord (for further reduction) but I said to him 'I feel shy of asking my Lord now.' Then Jibril took me till we reached Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e., lote tree of utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colors indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small tents (made) of pearls and its earth was musk (a kind of perfume)."

Hadith Commentary:
In this noble hadith, the mention of the virtuous Prophet Idris (alayhis salam) has occurred.
It is due to this relevance that it has been included here.
The incident of the Mi'raj will be discussed in its proper place, insha’Allah ta’ala.
Note:
It is necessary to hold the belief regarding the hadith of Mi'raj that the Mi'raj was physical and real, and all the events mentioned therein, such as the splitting of the chest and others, are true in their apparent meanings.
To have faith in the apparent and to consign the details to Allah is the way of the believers.
To delve further into this is not permissible.

Hadith Commentary:

In this hadith, there is mention of Prophet Idris (alayhis salam).
It is on this basis that it has been narrated here.


The incident of the Mi'raj and its details will be mentioned later.
Only two points are mentioned here.

(a)
Our belief regarding the Mi'raj is that it did not occur in a state of sleep, but rather in a state of wakefulness, and it was not merely spiritual but physical (jismāniyyan).
The details regarding the splitting open of the chest that have been narrated are true in their apparent meanings.
We have faith in their apparent (zāhir) sense, and we consign the rest of the matters to Allah; it is not permissible to delve into them.

(b)
In light of other narrations, after ascending to the seventh heaven, the sequence of events is as follows: first Sidrat al-Muntaha, then Bayt al-Ma'mur, then the five prayers were made obligatory.
In this narration, the sequence is of mention (dhikr), not of place (makān), because after the obligation of the prayers, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not ascend further, as is mentioned in this hadith, but rather descended.
And Allah knows best.
