Ibn Shihab narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was in Mecca when the roof of my house was opened, Jibreel descended, split open my chest, then washed it with the water of Zamzam, then brought a golden basin filled with wisdom and faith, poured it into my chest, then closed it up. Then he took my hand and raised me towards the sky. When we reached the lowest (first) heaven, Jibreel said to the gatekeeper of the lowest heaven: Open the door." He said: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Jibreel." He asked: "Is there anyone with you?" He said: "Yes, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is with me." He asked: "Has he been called?" He said: "Yes." Then he opened the door. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When we reached the sky of the world, I saw a man, on his right side there was a great multitude of creatures and on his left side also a great multitude of creatures. When that man looked to his right, he laughed, and when he looked to his left, he wept." He said: "Welcome, O righteous Prophet and O righteous son." I asked Jibreel: "Who is this?" Jibreel said: "This is Adam (peace be upon him), and those on his right are the people of Paradise and those on his left are the people of Hell, so when he looks to his right he laughs and when he looks to his left he weeps." Then Jibreel took me to the second heaven and said to its gatekeeper: "Open the door." He said that the gatekeeper of the second heaven said the same as the gatekeeper of the sky of the world: "Open the door." Its gatekeeper also spoke as the first one did and opened the door. Hazrat Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that I met Adam, Idris, Musa, and Ibrahim (peace be upon them) in the heavens (mentioning briefly). He (Abu Dharr) did not specify their stations, but he did say that Adam (peace be upon him) met him on the first heaven and Ibrahim (peace be upon him) on the seventh heaven (the narrator's error was corrected that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was on the sixth heaven). He said: When Jibreel and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Idris (peace be upon him), he said: "Welcome, O righteous Prophet and righteous brother." Then they passed on, so I asked: "Who is this?" (Jibreel) said: "This is Idris (peace be upon him)." Then I passed by Musa (peace be upon him), and he said: "Welcome, O righteous Prophet and righteous brother." He said: I asked: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Musa (peace be upon him)." Then I passed by Isa (peace be upon him), and he said: "Welcome, O righteous Prophet and righteous brother." I asked: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Isa son of Maryam (peace be upon him)." He said: "Then I passed by Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and he said: 'Righteous Prophet and righteous son, welcome!'" I asked: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Ibrahim (peace be upon him)." Ibn Shihab said: Ibn Hazm told me that Ibn Abbas and Abu Habba Ansari (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then (Jibreel) took me up until I appeared before a high place, from within which I was hearing the sound of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah the Exalted made fifty prayers obligatory upon my Ummah, I returned with this (command) until I passed by Musa (peace be upon him), so Musa (peace be upon him) asked: What has your Lord enjoined upon your Ummah?" He said: "I replied: He has made fifty prayers obligatory upon them." Musa (peace be upon him) said to me: "Return to your Lord, for your Ummah will not be able to bear it." He said: "So I returned to my Lord and He reduced a portion of it for me." He said: "I returned to Musa (peace be upon him) and informed him." He said: "Return to your Lord, for your Ummah will not be able to bear it (either)." He said: "I returned to my Lord, and He said: These are five and they are (equal to) fifty, My word does not change with Me." He said: "I returned to Musa (peace be upon him), and he said: Return to your Lord." So I said: "I am ashamed before my Lord (to ask repeatedly)." He said: "Then Jibreel took me on until we reached Sidrat al-Muntaha, and it was covered with such colors that I do not know what they were. Then I was taken into Paradise, in it were domes of pearls and its soil was musk."
