453 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ ابْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِحُذَيْفَةَ هَلْ صَلَّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ؟ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: أَنْتَ تَقُولُ صَلَّي فِيهِ يَا أَصْلَعُ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ الْقُرْآنُ، قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: هَاتِ مَنِ احْتَجَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَقَدْ فَلَجَ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ ﴿ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَي بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَي الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَي﴾ فَقَالَ لِي حُذَيْفَةُ: أَيْنَ تَجِدُهُ صَلَّي فِيهِ؟ لَوْ صَلَّي فِيهِ لَكُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الصَّلَاةُ فِيهِ كَمَا كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الصَّلَاةُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ثُمَّ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: «أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِدَابَّةٍ طَوِيلِ الظَّهْرِ مَمْدُودٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْبُرَاقُ خَطْوُهَا مَدُّ الْبَصَرِ فَمَا زَايَلَا ظَهْرَ الْبُرَاقِ حَتَّي رَأَيَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَوَعْدَ الْآخِرَةِ أَجْمَعَ» قَالَ «وَيُحَدِّثُونَ أَنَّهُ رَبَطَهُ لِمَ أَيَفِرُّ؟ لِمَ أَيَفِرُّ مِنْهُ؟ وَإِنَّمَا سَخَّرَهُ لَهُ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ»
Zirr bin Hubaish narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him): Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offer prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis? So Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O bald one from the front! Are you saying that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered prayer in it? I replied: Yes, let the Qur'an decide between me and you. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Bring it, whoever seeks evidence from the Qur'an succeeds. So I recited this verse before him: «سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى» "Glory be to Him Who took His servant by night from Masjid al-Haram to Masjid al-Aqsa." Then Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Where did you find in this that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered prayer there? If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had offered prayer there, then it would have been made obligatory upon you people to pray there, just as it has been made obligatory upon you to pray in Masjid al-Haram. Then Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed: An animal was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whose back was long, which was called Buraq. Its one step would reach as far as the eye could see, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained continuously mounted on the back of Buraq, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) observed Paradise and Hell, and the promise of the Hereafter is more gathering. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: People say: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tied it. Why? Would it have run away leaving the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Whereas the One Who knows the unseen and the seen had subjugated it for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
