2. The elephants were brought to Mecca by Abraha to destroy the Ka'ba. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was permitted to fight in the Holy precinct of Mecca for just one hour on the day he Opened Mecca.
@ The miracle of the Night Journey and the Heavenly Ascent – 41
1. Please refer to our first introductory note relating to: Judge Eyad and Hafiz ibn Hajjar in which Hafiz ibn Hajjar 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:
2. 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.
3. Humans cannot penetrate their limitation because they are as if veiled. The Creator is never absent, but at the same time He is unreachable through the limitation of our human eyes, however, later in Paradise the believer will see Him.
@ Rebuttal to the Night Journey being a dream - 43
There are some people, who lived many centuries after the Ascent and Night Journey took place, who claim the event was a dream. To support their opinion they quote the verse, "We did not make the vision (ru'yah) which We showed to you…. except to be a trial for people" (17:60). Accordingly, they named the Night Journey and Ascent as being a vision, while the Isra verse negates such, because He said, "Exalted is He who carried His worshiper (Prophet Muhammad) to travel in the night from the Sacred Mosque to the Furthest Mosque which We have blessed around it so that We might show him some of Our signs. He is the Hearer, the Seer." (17:1)" And no one can say that the Night Journey was while he was sleeping. Also, the word "trial" in (17:60) proves that it is the sighting of an eye because a vision has no trial in it, and no one will deny a vision regardless of how far its distance!
@ Did the Prophet see his Lord? – 44
The report of Abbas' son is in reference to the Paradise status of the Prophet, as the Prophet sees Allah in Paradise with the eyes of Paradise, and remember, he had already entered Paradise on the Night of Ascent. Lady Ayesha, on the other hand, was referring to the opposite, which is that of a physical appearance of Allah in the same way the unbelievers of Mecca see their idols or the location of their idols.
