The Miracle of the Night Journey and the Heavenly Ascent
The favoring of the Prophet with the miracle of the Night Journey from Mecca to Jerusalem, and the Heavenly Ascent. The conversation with his Lord, the seeing, leading the prophets in prayer, the ascent to the Lote Tree, and what he saw of the grand signs of his Lord.
(Shaykh Ahmad Darwish added: Judge Eyad, as well as Hafiz ibn Hajar, presents what has been handed down from one group of transmitters to the other regarding the Heavenly Ascent.
Since Judge Eyad, as well as Hafiz ibn Hajar are high ranking scholars of hadith they extracted and compiled the total of all hadith organizing the sequence of events during the Heavenly Ascent. While those whose knowledge of hadith is incomplete may suppose there are contradictions, which is not the case.
Judge Eyad, and the experts on this subject are of the opinion that the Prophet experienced a vision (during his sleep) spiritual ascent, which in turn, graduated him and introduced him to the real final miraculous actual physical ascent in both body and spirit.
This final state is the state that caused the unbeliever and hypocrites to debate because no one would be concerned to debate about a vision during sleep.
The unsurpassed expert scholar of hadith, Hafiz ibn Hajar, whose deep understanding and knowledge is acknowledged by all, was blessed with the ability to organize this threading of these hadiths from the source of this authentic story.
