“…. Then Gabriel ascended with me (Prophet Muhammad) to the nearest heaven and asked for the gate to be opened. He was asked, ‘Who is there?’ He replied, ‘Gabriel.’ He was asked, ‘Who is with you?’ He answered, ‘Muhammad.’ Then he ascended to the second heaven and asked for the gate to be opened. He was asked, ‘Who is there?’ He replied, ‘Gabriel.’ He was asked, ‘Who is with you?’ He answered, ‘Muhammad.’ The same thing occurred at each gate and at each gate he was asked, ‘Who is there’ and he replied. ‘Gabriel.’”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related – during the course of this well-known hadith referring to the ascent of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, he said this.
