Shahih Bukhari - 6963

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah] telah menceritakan kepadaku [Sulaiman] dari [Syarik bin Abdullah] berkata, "Aku mendengar [Anas bin Malik] berkata, "Tatkala Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam diisra'kan dari masjid Ka'bah, beliau didatangi oleh tiga orang -yang ketika itu beliau belum menerima wahyu- ketika di masjidil haram. Laki-laki pertama berkata, 'Mana orangnya? ' Laki-laki kedua berkata, 'Itu, orang terbaik di antara mereka! ' Lantas laki-laki ketiga berkata, 'Ambillah orang terbaik mereka', pada malam itu beliau tidak bisa melihat mereka bertiga. Hingga pada malam berikutnya mereka mendatangi beliau lagi, yang ketika itu hati (beliau) melihat, mata beliau tidur namun tidak untuk hatinya. Demikian pula para nabi, mata mereka tertidur namun hati mereka tidak tidur. Para malaikat itu tidak mengajak bicara beliau hingga mereka membawa dan meletakkan beliau di sisi sumur zamzam, Jibril lantas memimpin mereka untuk menyucikan nabi. Jibril kemudian membelah antara tenggorokan beliau hingga pangkal lehernya, sampai dadanya dan perutnya. Jibril kemudian memandikan beliau dengan air zamzam dengan tangannya hingga sampai pada bagian perut, setelah itu didatangkanlah bejana besar dari emas yang di dalamnya ada bejana yang terbuat dari tanah liat dari emas yang diisi dengan keimanan dan hikmah. Dengannya, Jibril mengisi dada dan urat-urat kerongkongannya lalu menjahitnya kembali. Kemudian Jibril membawanya ke langit dunia dan ia ketuk salah satu pintunya sehingga penghuni langit bertanya, 'Siapakah ini? ' Jibril berkata, 'Para malaikat bertanya, 'Siapa yang bersamamu? ' Jibril menjawab, 'Bersamaku Muhammad.' Penghuni langit bertanya, 'Dia telah diutus? ' Jibril menjawab, 'Benar.' Penghuni langit lalu berkata, 'Selamat datang, selamat atas kunjungannya.' Maka penghuni langit sedemikian bergembira, mereka tidak tahu apa yang Allah inginkan terhadap diri Muhammad di muka bumi, hingga Allah memberitahu mereka. Lantas di langit dunia nabi bertemu Adam, Jibril memperkenalkan kepada beliau, 'Ini adalah ayahmu, Adam. Ucapkanlah salam kepadanya. Dia (Muhammad) lalu mengucapkan salam yang kemudian dijawab oleh Adam seraya, 'Selamat datang, selamat berkunjung wahai anakku, sungguh engkau anak yang terbaik.' Ternyata di langit dunia ada dua sungai yang mengalir, Nabi Muhammad bertanya, 'Dua sungai apa ini wahai Jibril? ' Jibril menjawab, 'Ini adalah Nil dan Eufrat.' Kemudian Jibril terus membawa Nabi ke langit, tiba-tiba ada sungai lain yang di atasnya ada istana dari mutiara dan intan, Nabi memukulnya dengan tangannya, tiba-tiba baunya seperti minyak wangi adlfar. Nabi bertanya, 'Ini apa wahai Jibril? ' Jibril menjawab, 'Ini adalah telaga al Kautsar yang sengaja disimpan oleh Tuhanmu untukmu.' Kemudian Jibril membawanya naik ke langit kedua, dan malaikat bertanya kepadanya seperti yang ditanyakan malaikat pada langit pertama. Mereka bertanya, 'Siapa ini? ' Jibril menjawab, 'Ini Jibril.' Mereka bertanya lagi, 'Dan siapa ini yang bersamamu? ' Jibril menjawab, 'Muhammad shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam.' Mereka bertanya, 'Apakah dia telah diutus? ' Jibril menjawab, 'Benar.' Malaikat (langit tersebut) lalu berkata, 'Selamat datang, selamat atas kunjungannya.' Jibril kemudian membawanya naik ke langit ketiga dan para malaikat bertanya kepadanya sebagaimana yang ditanyakan malaikat di langit pertama dan kedua, kemudian Jibril membawanya naik ke langit keempat, dan mereka bertanya seperti halnya pertanyaan malaikat sebelumnya, setiap langit berisikan para nabi yang Jibril sebutkan nama-namanya. Dan seingatku di antara mereka ada Idris di langit kedua, Harun di langit keempat, dan lain di langit ke lima yang aku tak hapal namanya, Ibrahim di langit keenam, dan Musa di langit ketujuh karena diberi kelebihan bisa berbicara langsung dengan Allah. Lantas Musa berkata, 'Wahai Rabb, setahuku tak ada orang yang lebih ditinggikan daripada aku, ' kemudian Jibril membawanya naik di atas kesemuanya yang tidak satupun yang tahu selain Allah hingga tiba di Sidratul Muntaha. Kemudian Jibril mendekati Allah, Al Jabbar, Rabb pemilik kemuliaan, Nabi terus mendekat hingga jarak antara keduanya sebatas dua busur panah atau lebih dekat lagi, dan Allah memberinya wahyu, yang di antara wahyunya, Allah mewajibkan lima puluh kali shalat untuk umatmu (Muhammad) siang-malam. Kemudian Nabi turun hingga bertemu Musa, Musa menahannya dan berkata, 'Hai Muhammad, apa yang diikrarkan Tuhanmu kepadamu? ' Nabi menjawab, 'Allah mewajibkan aku untuk mendirikan lima puluh kali shalat sehari semalam.' Musa berkata, 'Umatmu tidak akan kuat melakukan sedemikian itu, kembalilah kamu agar Tuhanmu memberi keringanan untkmu dan umatmu.' Maka Nabi menoleh ke Jibril seolah-olah meminta saran tentang saran Musa, dan Jibril memberi isyarat, 'Silahkan, kalau kau berkenan.' Maka Jibril kembali menaikannya ke Allah Yang Maha Jabbar yang ketika itu masih berada di singgahsana-Nya, Nabi katakan, 'Wahai Rabb, berilah kami keringanan, sebab umatku tidak akan mampu melakukan shalat lima puluh kali dalam sehari! ' Lantas Allah mengurangi sepuluh kali, dan Nabi kembali bertemu Musa dan Musa menahannya, Musa terus-menerus membujuknya agar Nabi menegoisasi ulang kepada Rabbnya, sehingga Allah hanya mewajibkan lima kali shalat sehari-semalam. Musa kemudian menahannya ketika kewajiban shalat tinggal lima, Musa mengatakan, 'Hai Muhammad, pernah aku membujuk Bani Israil, kaumku, untuk suatu yang lebih rendah daripada ini namun mereka meninggalkannya, padahal umatmu lebih lemah fisiknya, badannya, hatinya, pandangan dan pendengarannya, maka temuilah kembali Rabbmu agar Dia memberi keringanan.' Dan atas semua instruksi itu, Nabi menoleh kepada Jibril untuk memberi saran, namun Jibril tidak membenci atas itu semua. Lantas Jibril kembali membawanya naik untuk kali kelima, lalu Nabi berkata, 'Ya Rabb, umatku adalah orang-orang lemah fisiknya, hatinya, pendengarannya, pandangannya, dan badannya, maka berilah kami keringanan.' Allah Yang Maha Jabbar menjawab, 'Hai Muhammad! ' Nabi menjawab, 'Aku penuhi panggilan-Mu.' Allah meneruskan firman-Nya, 'Sesungguhnya tidak ada lagi pergantian titah-Ku sebagaimana Aku wajibkan atasmu dalam ummul kitab.' Allah meneruskan titah-Nya, setiap satu kebaikan dibalas sepuluh kali lipatnya, maka lima kali shalat itu tercatat lima puluh kali dalam ummul kitab, sekalipun hanya dilaksanakan lima kali olehmu.' Maka Nabi kembali menemui Musa dan Musa bertanya, 'Apa yang telah kamu lakukan? ' Nabi menjawab, 'Allah betul-betul telah memberi kami keringanan, karena setiap kebaikan dibalas sepuluh kali lipatnya.' Musa berkata, 'Demi Allah, aku pernah membujuk bani israil untuk yang lebih remeh daripada itu namun mereka meninggalkannya, maka kembalilah kau temui Tuhanmu agar Dia memberi keringanan terhadapmu.' Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menjawab, 'Hai Musa, demi Allah, aku telah malu kepada Tuhanku terhadap protes yang kulakukan terhadap-Nya.' Musa pun berkata, 'Baik kalau begitu, silahkan engkau turun dengan nama Allah.' Maka Nabi bangun (tidur) yang ketika itu beliau di Masjidil Haram." (HR. Bukhari: 6963)

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The night Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was taken for a journey from the sacred mosque (of Mecca) Al-Kaʿbah: Three persons came to him (in a dreamy while he was sleeping in the Sacred Mosque before the Divine Inspiration was revealed to Him. One of them said, "Which of them is he?" The middle (second) angel said, "He is the best of them." The last (third) angle said, "Take the best of them." Only that much happened on that night and he did not see them till they came on another night, i.e. after The Divine Inspiration was revealed to him. (Fath-Al-Bari Page 258, Vol. 17) and he saw them, his eyes were asleep but his heart was not----and so is the case with the Prophet (ﷺ): their eyes sleep while their hearts do not sleep. So those angels did not talk to him till they carried him and placed him beside the well of Zam-Zam. From among them Gabriel took charge of him. Gabriel cut open (the part of his body) between his throat and the middle of his chest (heart) and took all the material out of his chest and abdomen and then washed it with Zam-Zam water with his own hands till he cleansed the inside of his body, and then a gold tray containing a gold bowl full of belief and wisdom was brought and then Gabriel stuffed his chest and throat blood vessels with it and then closed it (the chest). He then ascended with him to the heaven of the world and knocked on one of its doors. The dwellers of the Heaven asked, 'Who is it?' He said, "Gabriel." They said, "Who is accompanying you?" He said, "Muhammad." They said, "Has he been called?" He said, "Yes" They said, "He is welcomed." So the dwellers of the Heaven became pleased with his arrival, and they did not know what Allah would do to the Prophet (ﷺ) on earth unless Allah informed them. The Prophet (ﷺ) met Adam over the nearest Heaven. Gabriel said to the Prophet (ﷺ), "He is your father; greet him." The Prophet (ﷺ) greeted him and Adam returned his greeting and said, "Welcome, O my Son! O what a good son you are!" Behold, he saw two flowing rivers, while he was in the nearest sky. He asked, "What are these two rivers, O Gabriel?" Gabriel said, "These are the sources of the Nile and the Euphrates." Then Gabriel took him around that Heaven and behold, he saw another river at the bank of which there was a palace built of pearls and emerald. He put his hand into the river and found its mud like musk Adhfar. He asked, "What is this, O Gabriel?" Gabriel said, "This is the Kauthar which your Lord has kept for you." Then Gabriel ascended (with him) to the second Heaven and the angels asked the same questions as those on the first Heaven, i.e., "Who is it?" Gabriel replied, "Gabriel". They asked, "Who is accompanying you?" He said, "Muhammad." They asked, "Has he been sent for?" He said, "Yes." Then they said, "He is welcomed.'' Then he (Gabriel) ascended with the Prophet (ﷺ) to the third Heaven, and the angels said the same as the angels of the first and the second Heavens had said. Then he ascended with him to the fourth Heaven and they said the same; and then he ascended with him to the fifth Heaven and they said the same; and then he ascended with him to the sixth Heaven and they said the same; then he ascended with him to the seventh Heaven and they said the same. On each Heaven there were prophets whose names he had mentioned and of whom I remember Idris on the second Heaven, Aaron on the fourth Heavens another prophet whose name I don't remember, on the fifth Heaven, Abraham on the sixth Heaven, and Moses on the seventh Heaven because of his privilege of talking to Allah directly. Moses said (to Allah), "O Lord! I thought that none would be raised up above me." But Gabriel ascended with him (The Prophet (ﷺ)) for a distance above that, the distance of which only Allah knows, till he reached the Lote Tree (beyond which none may pass) and then the Irresistible, the Lord of Honor and Majesty approached and came closer till he (Gabriel) was about two bow lengths or (even) nearer. (It is said that it was Gabriel who approached and came closer to the Prophet (ﷺ). (Fate Al-Bari Page 263, 264, Vol. 17). Among the things which Allah revealed to him then, was: "Fifty prayers were enjoined on his followers in a day and a night." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) descended till he met Moses, and then Moses stopped him and asked, "O Muhammad ! What did your Lord en join upon you?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied," He enjoined upon me to perform fifty prayers in a day and a night." Moses said, "Your followers cannot do that; Go back so that your Lord may reduce it for you and for them." So the Prophet (ﷺ) turned to Gabriel as if he wanted to consult him about that issue. Gabriel told him of his opinion, saying, "Yes, if you wish." So Gabriel ascended with him to the Irresistible and said while he was in his place, "O Lord, please lighten our burden as my followers cannot do that." So Allah deducted for him ten prayers where upon he returned to Moses who stopped him again and kept on sending him back to his Lord till the enjoined prayers were reduced to only five prayers. Then Moses stopped him when the prayers had been reduced to five and said, "O Muhammad! By Allah, I tried to persuade my nation, Bani Israel to do less than this, but they could not do it and gave it up. However, your followers are weaker in body, heart, sight and hearing, so return to your Lord so that He may lighten your burden." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards Gabriel for advice and Gabriel did not disapprove of that. So he ascended with him for the fifth time. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Lord, my followers are weak in their bodies, hearts, hearing and constitution, so lighten our burden." On that the Irresistible said, "O Muhammad!" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Labbaik and Saʿdaik." Allah said, "The Word that comes from Me does not change, so it will be as I enjoined on you in the Mother of the Book." Allah added, "Every good deed will be rewarded as ten times so it is fifty (prayers) in the Mother of the Book (in reward) but you are to perform only five (in practice)." The Prophet (ﷺ) returned to Moses who asked, "What have you done?" He said, "He has lightened our burden: He has given us for every good deed a tenfold reward." Moses said, "By Allah! I tried to make Bani Israel observe less than that, but they gave it up. So go back to your Lord that He may lighten your burden further." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Moses! By Allah, I feel shy of returning too many times to my Lord." On that Gabriel said, "Descend in Allah's Name." The Prophet (ﷺ) then woke while he was in the Sacred Mosque (at Mecca). (Bukhari: 6963)
