Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: On the night the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Night Journey (Mi'raj), he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him). He asked: "O Jibril, who is this with you?" Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) said: "This is Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Command your Ummah to plant much in Paradise, for its soil is pure and its land is vast." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is meant by planting in it?" He replied: "Reciting 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (there is no power and no strength except with Allah)."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, but he narrated these words: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "On the night I was taken on the Night Journey, I passed by Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him). He asked: 'O Jibril, who is this with you?' Jibril said: 'This is Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).' He greeted me with peace, welcomed me and said: 'Command your Ummah.'" After this the narrator mentioned the rest of the narration as before. The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih, except Abdullah bin Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Umar bin al-Khattab, who is thiqah (trustworthy); no one has criticised him, and Ibn Hibban declared him trustworthy.
