be written against him. If he does it, then one bad deed will be recorded.' Then I returned to Moses and told him and he said, 'Go back to your Lord and ask Him to lighten it.' Whereupon the Messenger of Allah said, ‘I have gone back to my Lord so often, I am shy before Him.’"
A fine detail of the preparatory Heavenly Ascent was narrated by Abu Dharr who tells us that the Messenger of Allah said, "The roof of my house was split open, and Gabriel descended and opened my chest and washed it with water from Zamzam. Then he brought a gold dish filled with wisdom and belief which he poured into my chest and then sealed it. He took me by the hand and ascended with me to the heavens." (Please refer to our first introductory note relating to: Judge Eyad and Hafiz ibn Hajar in which Hafiz ibn Hajar unifies the sequence by organizing all the threads into just one thread based upon his vast comprehension of event. There are many other authentic hadith which add more details to the event, both in the introductory phase of visions and of the actual. Judge Eyad continues to throw more light upon the Night Journey by drawing our attention to the reports of several Companions).
Shehab's son tells us, "Every Prophet except Adam and Abraham said to me (Prophet Muhammad). 'Welcome to the righteous Prophet and the righteous brother'. Adam and Abraham said, 'a righteous son.'"
Abbas' son, reports that the Prophet said, "Then he (Gabriel) ascended with me until I reached a level plain where I heard the scratching of pens."
Sa'sa'a son, Malik tells us of the Prophet's conversation with Moses, he said, "As I passed Moses, he wept. He was asked, 'Why do you weep?' Moses replied, 'Lord, this is a young man who was sent after me, and more of his nation will enter Paradise than those of my nation." (Shaykh Darwish added: You may be curious why Moses wept. It is because he will have a lesser number of people who worship and praise Allah alone, whereas Prophet Muhammad is happy because he will have a greater number of worshipers who praise Allah alone because he was instrumental in guiding them.)
