Hadith 23332

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابنَ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بنِ بهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ زِرِّ بنِ حُبيْشٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بنِ الْيَمَانِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أُتِيتُ بالْبرَاقِ وَهُوَ دَابةٌ أَبيَضُ طَوِيلٌ ، يَضَعُ حَافِرَهُ عِنْدَ مُنْتَهَى طَرْفِهِ ، فَلَمْ نُزَايِلْ ظَهْرَهُ أَنَا وَجِبرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ بيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ ، فَفُتِحَتْ لَنَا أَبوَاب السَّمَاءِ وَرَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ " . قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ بنُ الْيَمَانِ : وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ فِي بيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ، قَالَ زِرٌّ : فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : بلَى ، قَدْ صَلَّى ، قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ : مَا اسْمُكَ يَا أَصْلَعُ ؟ فَإِنِّي أَعْرِفُ وَجْهَكَ ، وَلَا أَعْرِفُ اسْمَكَ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : أَنَا زِرُّ بنُ حُبيْشٍ ، قَالَ : وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ صَلَّى ؟ قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ سورة الإسراء آية 1 ، فقَالَ : َهَلْ تَجِدُهُ صَلَّى ؟ لَوْ صَلَّى لَصَلَّيْتُمْ فِيهِ كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ، قَالَ زِرٌّ : وَرَبطَ الدَّابةَ بالْحَلَقَةِ الَّتِي يَرْبطُ بهَا الْأَنْبيَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ السَّلَام ، فقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ : أَو َكَانَ يَخَافُ أَنْ تَذْهَب مِنْهُ وَقَدْ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ بهَا ؟ . .
Zirr bin Hubaish says that once I was present in the company of Hazrat Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him). While narrating the incident of the Night of Ascension (Mi'raj), he began to mention this saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "Then we set out from there and reached Bayt al-Maqdis, but we did not enter Bayt al-Maqdis." I said, "On that night, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did enter Bayt al-Maqdis and also offered prayer there." Upon hearing this, Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O bald one! What is your name? I recognize you by your face but do not remember your name." I replied, "My name is Zirr bin Hubaish." He said, "How do you know that on that night the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) offered prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis?" I said, "The Qur'an tells us." He said, "The one who speaks according to the Qur'an is successful. Recite that verse to me." So when I recited 'Subhan alladhi asra bi'abdihi' (Glory be to Him Who took His servant by night), I did not find anywhere in it that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) offered prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis that night. Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O bald one! Do you find any mention of prayer in it?" I said, "No." He said, "By Allah! The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not offer prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis that night. If the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had offered prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis, then it would have become obligatory for you to pray there as it became obligatory in Baytullah. By Allah! They did not separate from Buraq until the gates of the heavens were opened for them. Then both of them saw Paradise and Hell and all the promises of the Hereafter. Then both of them returned in the same way as they had gone. Then he began to laugh until I saw his blessed teeth. Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) further said, "People say that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) tied Buraq so that it would not run away, whereas Allah Almighty had made the entire world of the unseen and the seen subservient to him."
