Hadith 4011

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْتُهِيَ بِهِ إِلَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى ، وَهِيَ فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ ، وَإِلَيْهَا يَنْتَهِي مَا يُصْعَدُ بِهِ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً وَمَا يُعْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، فَيُقْبَضُ مِنْهَا ، وَإِلَيْهَا يَنْتَهِي مَا يُهْبَطُ بِهِ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا ، فَيُقْبَضُ مِنْهَا ، إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى سورة النجم آية 16 ، قَالَ : فَرَاشٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، قَالَ : فَأُعْطِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَ خِلَالٍ : الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ ، وَخَوَاتِيمَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ ، وَغُفِرَ لِمَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ الْمُقْحِمَاتُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the night when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Mi'raj, he was also taken to Sidrat al-Muntaha, which is in the sixth heaven, and it is the utmost limit for whatever ascends from the earth; from there, those things are taken up, and whatever descends from the heaven stops there, and from there, those things are taken down. And it is said: "When that which covered the lote tree covered it," meaning golden butterflies. In any case, on this occasion, three things were granted to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): five prayers, the concluding verses of Surah al-Baqarah, and the glad tidings that every person of his ummah who does not associate anything with Allah will be forgiven.
