It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) passed through the valley of Al-Azraq and said: "What valley is this?" They said: "This is the valley of Al-Azraq." He said: "It is as if I can see Musa coming down from the mountain pass, calling out loudly to Allah, reciting the Talbiyah." Then he came to the pass of Harsha and said: "What pass is this?" They said: "The pass of Harsha." He said: "It is as if I can see Yunus bin Matta, on a sturdy red camel, wearing a woolen cloak, with his camel's reins made of palm fiber, reciting the Talbiyah."

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "We traveled with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) between Makkah and Al-Madinah, and we passed through a valley. He said: 'What valley is this?' They said: 'The valley of Al-Azraq.' He said: 'It is as if I can see Musa"' - and he said something about his color and hair that Dawud (one of the narrators) did not remember - "'putting his fingers in his ears and calling out loudly to Allah, reciting the Talbiyah, passing through this valley.' Then we traveled on until we came to a mountain pass and he said: 'What pass is this?' They said: 'Harsha or Lift.' He said: 'It is as if I can see Yunus riding a red camel, wearing a woolen cloak, with the reins of his camel made of palm fibers, passing through this valley, reciting the Talbiyah.'"

It was narrated from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The Prophets were shown to me, and I saw Musa, who was a man of average build, as if he were one of the men of Shanu'ah. And I saw 'Eisa bin Mariam, and the closest in resemblance to him whom I have seen is 'Urwah bin Mas'ud. And I saw Ibrahim, and the closest in resemblance to him whom I have seen is your companion" - meaning himself. "And I saw Jibril, and the closest in resemblance to him whom I have seen is Dihyah." According to the report of Ibn Rumh: "Dihyah bin Khalifah"

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'When I was taken on the Night Journey, I met Musa, - and the Prophet (s.a.w) described him - 'and he was a man' - I think he said - 'of average build, with wavy hair, as if he were one of the men of Shanu'ah. And I met 'Eisa' - and the Prophet (s.a.w) described him - 'and he was a man of medium build with a reddish complexion, as if he had just come out of a Dimas.' - meaning a bath-house. 'And I saw Ibrahim, and I am the one who most closely resembles him of his children.' He said: 'Then two vessels were brought to me; in one was milk and in the other was wine. It was said to me: 'Take whichever of them you want.' So I took the milk, and he said: 'You have been guided to the Fitrah' - or 'you have attained the Fitrah. If you had taken the wine, · your Ummah would have been led astray."'

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "One night at the Ka'bah, I had a dream, and I saw a dark man like the most handsome of dark men you could ever see, with the most handsome hair coming down below his earlobes. He had combed his hair and it was dripping with water, and he was leaning on two men" - or; "on the shoulders of two men" - "circumambulating the Ka'bah. I asked: 'Who is this?' And it was said: 'This is Al-Masih, son of Mariam.' Then I saw a man with very curly hair, with a bad right eye, which looked like a floating grape. I asked: 'Who is this?' And it was said: 'This is Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal."'

It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "When the Quraish denied me, I stayed in the Hijr and Allah showed me Bait Al-Maqdis, and I started telling them about its signs while I was looking at it."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَمَّا كَذَّبَتْنِي قُرَيْشٌ قُمْتُ فِي الْحِجْرِ فَجَلَّى اللَّهُ لِي بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَطَفِقْتُ أُخْبِرُهُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ.

It was narrated from Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, that his father said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: 'While I was sleeping, I saw myself circumambulating the Ka'bah, and there was a dark man with wavy hair, walking between two other men, with water dripping, or flowing from his head. I said: Who is this? They said: This is the son of Mariam. Then I went and looked, and I saw a reddish man, of heavy build, with curly hair, with a bad eye, as if his eye was a floating grape. I said: Who is this? They said: The Dajjal. The person whom I have seen who most resembles him is Ibn Qatan."'

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'I remember when I was in the Hijr and the Quraish were asking me about my Night Journey. They asked me things about Bait Al-Maqdis of which I was not sure, and I became distressed in a way in which I have never felt distressed before. Then Allah raised it up for me so that I could see it, and they did not ask me about anything but I told them about it. And I remember when I was among a group of the Prophets, and I saw Musa - standing and praying. He was man with wavy hair, as if he was one of the men of Shanu'ah. And I saw 'Eisa bin Mariam standing and praying, and the closest in resemblance to him whom I have seen is 'Urwah bin Mas'ud Ath-Thaqafi. And I saw Ibrahim, standing and praying, and the closest in resemblance to him whom I have seen is your companion' - meaning himself (s.a.w) - 'The time for prayer came and I led them in prayer. When I had finished the prayer, a voice said: O Muhammad, this is Malik, the keeper of the Fire, greet him with Salam. I turned to him and he greeted me first."'

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was taken on the Night Journey, he went as far as Sidrat Al-Muntaha (The Lote-Tree of the Utmost Boundary), which is in the sixth heaven. It is there, everything that ascends from the earth stops, and it is taken from there. And it is there where everything that descends from above stops, and it is taken from there. Allah says: When that covered the Lote-Tree which did cover it! He said: "Moths of gold. And the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was given three things: He was given the five prayers, he was given the last Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah, and forgiveness of serious sins to his Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah were to be forgiven for serious sins."

Ash-Shaibani said: "I asked Zirr bin Hubaish about the saying of Allah: And was at a distance of two bows' length or (even) nearer. He said: 'Ibn Mas'ud told me that the Prophet (s.a.w) saw Jibril, with six hundred wings."'
