Number 345:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
Allah's Apostle said, "While I was at Mecca
the roof of my house was opened and Gabriel descended, opened my
chest, and washed it with Zam-zam water. Then he brought a golden
tray full of wisdom and faith and having poured its contents into my
chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to
the nearest heaven, when I reached the nearest heaven, Gabriel said
to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper
asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel answered: 'Gabriel.' He asked, 'Is there
anyone with you?' Gabriel replied, 'Yes, Muhammad I is with me.' He
asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel said, 'Yes.' So the gate was
opened and we went over the nearest heaven and there we saw a man
sitting with some people on his right and some on his left. When he
looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked toward his
left he wept. Then he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious
son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is Adam and the
people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those
on his right are the people of Paradise and those on his left are
the people of Hell and when he looks towards his right he laughs and
when he looks towards his left he weeps.'
Then he ascended with me till he reached
the second heaven and he (Gabriel) said to its gatekeeper, 'Open
(the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper
of the first heaven had said and he opened the gate. Anas said: "Abu
Dhar added that the Prophet met Adam, Idris, Moses, Jesus and
Abraham, he (Abu Dhar) did not mention on which heaven they were but
he mentioned that he (the Prophet ) met Adarn on the nearest heaven
and Abraham on the sixth heaven. Anas said, "When Gabriel along with
the Prophet passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome! O pious
Prophet and pious brother.' The Prophet asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel
replied, 'He is Idris." The Prophet added, "I passed by Moses and he
said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious brother.' I asked Gabriel,
'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Moses.' Then I passed by Jesus
and he said, 'Welcome! O pious brother and pious Prophet.' I asked,
'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Jesus.
Then I passed by Abraham and he said,
'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is
he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Abraham. The Prophet added, 'Then
Gabriel ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of
the pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik said: The Prophet said, "Then
Allah enjoined fifty prayers on my followers when I returned with
this order of Allah, I passed by Moses who asked me, 'What has Allah
enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty
prayers on them.' Moses said, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for
reduction) for your followers will not be able to bear it.' (So I
went back to Allah and requested for reduction) and He reduced it to
half. When I passed by Moses again and informed him about it, he
said, 'Go back to your Lord as your followers will not be able to
bear it.' So I returned to Allah and requested for further reduction
and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Moses and he said to
me: 'Return to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to
bear it. So I returned to Allah and He said, 'These are five prayers
and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward) for My Word does not
change.' I returned to Moses and he told me to go back once again. I
replied, 'Now I feel shy of asking my Lord again.' Then Gabriel took
me till we '' reached Sidrat-il-Muntaha (Lote tree of; the utmost
boundry) which was shrouded in colors, indescribable. Then I was
admitted into Paradise where I found small (tents or) walls (made)
of pearls and its earth was of musk."

two prostrations (of Sahu) and finished his prayers with Tasiim (by
turning his face to right and left saying:
'As-Salamu'Alaikum-Warahmat-ullah'). When he turned his face to us
he said, "If there had been anything changed in the prayer, surely I
would have informed you but I am a human being like you and liable
to forget like you. So if I forget remind me and if anyone of you is

station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers
e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka'ba)". (2.125)
2. And as regards the (verse of) the
veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I wish you ordered
your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad
ones talk to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the women was
revealed.
3. Once the wives of the Prophet made a
united front against the Prophet and I said to them, 'It may be if

Suggest to me the price of this (walled) piece of land of yours."
They replied, "No! By Allah! We do not demand its price except from
Allah." Anas added: There were graves of pagans in it and some of it
was unleveled and there were some date-palm trees in it. The Prophet
ordered that the graves of the pagans be dug out and the unleveled
land be level led and the date-palm trees be cut down . (So all that
was done). They aligned these cut date-palm trees towards the Qibla
of the mosque (as a wall) and they also built two stone side-walls

debt to one half. I said, "O Allah's Apostle have done it." Allah's

(the wife of the Prophet) I had seen my
parents following Islam since I attained the age of puberty. Not a
day passed but the Prophet visited us, both in the mornings and
evenings. My father Abii Bakr thought of building a mosque in the
courtyard of his house and he did so. He used to pray and recite the
Qur'an in it. The pagan women and their children used to stand by
him and look at him with surprise. Abu Bakr was a Softhearted person
and could not help weeping while reciting the Quran. The chiefs of
the Quraish pagans became afraid of that (i.e. that their children
and women might be affected by the recitation of Quran)."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The prayer offered in
congregation is twenty five times more superior (in reward) to the
prayer offered alone in one's house or in a business center, because
if one performs ablution and does it perfectly, and then proceeds to
the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for each step
which he takes towards the mosque, Allah upgrades him a degree in
reward and (forgives) crosses out one sin till he enters the mosque.
When he enters the mosque he is considered in prayer as long as he
is waiting for the prayer and the angels keep on asking for Allah's
forgiveness for him and they keep on saying: 'O Allah! Be Merciful
to him, O Allah! Forgive him, as long as he keeps on sitting at his
praying place and does not pass wind. (See Hadith No. 620).

Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Apostle led us
in one of the two 'Isha' prayers (Abu Huraira named that prayer but
I forgot it)." Abu Huraira added, "He prayed two Rakat and then
finished the prayer with Tasllm. He stood up near a piece of wood
Lying across the mosque and leaned on it in such a way as if he was
angry. Then he put his right hand over the left and clasped his
hands by interlacing his fingers and then put his J right cheek on
the back of his left hand. The people who were in haste left the
mosque through its gates. They wondered whether the prayer was
reduced. And amongst them were Abu Bakr and 'Umar but they hesitated
to ask the Prophet. A long-handed man called Dhul-Yadain asked the
Prophet, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you; forgotten or has the prayer
been reduced?' The Prophet replied, 'I have neither forgotten nor
has the prayer been reduced' The Prophet added, 'Is what Dhul Yadain
has said true?' They (the people) said, 'Yes, it is true.' The
Prophet stood up again and led the prayer, completing the remaining
prayer, forgotten by him, and performed Talsrm, and then said,
'Allahu Akbar.' And then he did a prostration as he used to
prostrate or longer than that. He then raised his head saying,
'Allahu Akbar; he then again said, 'Allahu Akbar', and prostrated as
he used to prostrate or longer than that. Then he raised his head
and said, 'Allahu Akbar.' " (The subnarrator added, "I think that

Taslim. He replied, "I heard that 'Imran bin Husain had said, 'Then
he (the Prophet) did Taslim.")
