Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2447 — when the Prophet of Allah ﷺ was taken

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ : نَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ الْمُؤَذِّنُ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِنَبِيِّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَصْبَحَ بِمَكَّةَ ، جَلَسَ مُعْتَزِلًا حَزِينًا ، فَأَتَى عَلَيْهِ عَدُوُّ اللهِ أَبُو جَهْلٍ ، فَقَالَ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ : هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ I " قَالَ : مَاذَا ؟ قَالَ : أُسْرِيَ بِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْنَا ؟ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ I " . فَلَمْ يُرِهِ أَنَّهُ يُكَذِّبُهُ ، مَخَافَةَ إِنْ دَعَا إِلَيْهِ قَوْمَهُ أَنْ يَجْحَدَهُ الْحَدِيثَ ، فَقَالَ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَعَوْتُ إِلَيْكَ قَوْمَكَ أَتُحَدِّثُهُمْ بِمَا حَدَّثْتَنِي ؟ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ I " فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ : حَدِّثْ قَوْمَكَ بِمَا حَدَّثْتَنِي ، فَقَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " إِنَّهُ أُسْرِيَ بِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ I " ، فَقَالُوا : إِلَى أَيْنَ ؟ قَالَ : I " إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ I " قَالُوا : ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا ؟ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ I " قَالَ : فَمِنْ مُصَفِّقٍ ، وَمِنْ وَاضِعٍ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مُسْتَعْجِبًا لِلْكَذِبِ ، زَعَمَ ، وَفِي الْقَوْمِ مَنْ قَدْ سَافَرَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ : أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْعَتَ لَنَا الْمَسْجِدَ ؟ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ I " قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " فَنَعَتُّهُ لَهُمْ حَتَّى الْتَبَسَ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ النَّعْتِ ، فَجِيءَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى وُضِعَ دُونَ دَارِ عَقِيلٍ - أَوْ دَارِ عِقَالٍ - فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْعَتُهُ لَهُمْ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ I " فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ : أَمَّا النَّعْتُ ، وَاللهِ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ .
لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَوْفٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Night Journey, and in the morning he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Makkah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat apart, grieved. Then the enemy of Allah, Abu Jahl, came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said mockingly: "Has anything happened?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." He asked: "What is it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tonight I was taken to Bayt al-Maqdis." He said: "And then in the morning you are among us?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." Abu Jahl did not openly show that he was calling him (peace and blessings be upon him) a liar, out of fear that if he called his (peace and blessings be upon him) people, he (peace and blessings be upon him) might deny what he had said. So he said: "Tell me, if I call your people, will you tell them as well what you have told me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." Then Abu Jahl said: "Tell your people what you told me." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tonight I was taken on a journey." They asked: "To where?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "To Bayt al-Maqdis." They said: "And then in the morning you are among us?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." The narrator says: Then some began clapping, and some, marvelling at the lie, as they supposed it to be, put their hands on their heads. And among those people were some who had travelled to that mosque; they said: "Can you describe that mosque to us?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I began describing its features to them, until some of the features became confused for me; then the mosque was brought and placed before me while I was looking at it, until it was placed near the house of Aqil (or of Iqal), and so I went on describing its features to them while looking at it." Then the people said: "As for the description, by Allah, he has described it exactly right."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) except with this chain; Awf is alone in narrating it."
