It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Mi'raj, he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached Sidrat al-Muntaha (the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary), which is in the sixth heaven. Whatever rises up from the earth stops there and is received from there, and whatever command descends from above also stops there and is received from there." Concerning this very place Allah Almighty says: "When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered it", and in explanation of it he said: "It refers to moths of gold." He further said: "There the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was given three great things: the five daily prayers, the concluding verses of Surah al-Baqarah, and forgiveness of the muqhimat (ruinous major sins) for whoever of his (peace and blessings be upon him) Ummah does not associate anyone with Allah."
