٢ - حدثنا الحسن بن محمد بن سعيد الهاشمي، قال: حدثنا فرات بن إبراهيم بن فرات الكوفي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أحمد بن علي الهمداني، قال: حدثنا الحسن بن علي الشامي، عن أبيه، قال: حدثنا أبو جرير، قال: حدثنا عطاء الخراساني، رفعه، عن عبد الرحمن بن غنم، قال: جاء جبرئيل (عليه السلام) إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) بدابة دون البغل وفوق الحمار، رجلاها أطول من يديها، خطوها مد البصر، فلما أراد النبي أن يركب امتنعت، فقال جبرئيل (عليه السلام): إنه محمد، فتواضعت حتى لصقت بالارض. قال: فركب، فكلما هبطت ارتفعت يداها، وقصرت رجلاها، وإذا صعدت ارتفعت رجلاها، وقصرت يداها، فمرت به في ظلمة الليل على عير محملة، فنفرت العير من دفيف البراق، فنادى رجل في آخر العير غلاما له في أول العير: يا فلان، إن الابل قد نفرت، وإن فلانة ألقت حملها، وانكسرت يدها، وكانت العير لابي سفيان. قال: ثم مضى، حتى إذا كان ببطن البلقاء، قال: يا جبرئيل، قد عطشت، فتناول جبرئيل قصعة فيها ماء فناوله فشرب، ثم مضى فمر على قوم معلقين بعراقيبهم بكلاليب من نار، فقال: ما هؤلاء يا جبرئيل؟ فقال: هؤلاء الذين أغناهم الله بالحلال  فيبتغون الحرام. قال: ثم مر على قوم تخاط جلودهم بمخائط من نار، فقال: ما هؤلاء يا جبرئيل؟ فقال: هؤلاء الذين يأخذون عذرة النساء بغير حل. ثم مضى فمر على رجل يرفع حزمة من حطب، كلما لم يستطع أن يرفعها زاد فيها، فقال: من هذا يا جبرئيل؟ قال: هذا صاحب الدين يريد أن يقضي، فإذا لم يستطع زاد عليه. ثم مضى حتى إذا كان بالجبل الشرقي من بيت المقدس، وجد ريحا حارة، وسمع صوتا قال: ما هذه الريح يا جبرئيل التي أجدها، وهذا الصوت الذي أسمع؟ قال: هذه جهنم، فقال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): أعوذ بالله من جهنم. ثم وجد ريحا عن يمينه طيبة، وسمع صوتا، فقال: ما هذه الريح التي أجدها، وهذا الصوت الذي أسمع؟ قال: هذه الجنة. فقال: أسأل الله الجنة. قال: ثم مضى حتى انتهى إلى باب مدينة بيت المقدس، وفيها هرقل، وكانت أبواب المدينة تغلق كل ليلة، ويؤتى بالمفاتيح وتوضع عند رأسه، فلما كانت تلك الليلة امتنع الباب أن ينغلق فأخبروه، فقال: ضاعفوا عليها من الحرس. قال: فجاء رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فدخل بيت المقدس، فجاء جبرئيل عليه السلام إلى الصخرة فرفعها، فأخرج من تحتها ثلاثة أقداح: قدحا من لبن، وقدحا من عسل، وقدحا من خمر، فناوله قدح اللبن فشرب، ثم ناوله قدح العسل فشرب، ثم ناوله قدح الخمر، فقال: قد رويت يا جبرئيل. قال: أما إنك لو شربته ضلت أمتك وتفرقت عنك. قال: ثم أم رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) في مسجد بيت المقدس بسبعين نبيا. قال: وهبط مع جبرئيل (عليه السلام) ملك لم يطأ الارض قط، معه مفاتيح خزائن الارض، فقال: يا محمد، إن ربك يقرئك السلام ويقول: هذه مفاتيح خزائن الارض، فإن شئت فكن نبيا عبدا، وإن شئت فكن نبيا ملكا. فأشار إليه جبرئيل (عليه السلام) أن تواضع يا محمد. فقال: بل أكون نبيا عبدا. ثم صعد إلى السماء، فلما انتهى إلى باب السماء استفتح جبرئيل (عليه السلام)،  فقالوا: من هذا؟ قال: محمد. قالوا: نعم المجئ جاء فدخل فما مر على ملا من الملائكة إلا سلموا عليه ودعوا له، وشيعه مقربوها، فمر على شيخ قاعد تحت شجرة وحوله أطفال، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من هذا الشيخ يا جبرئيل؟ قال: هذا أبوك إبراهيم. قال: فما هؤلاء الاطفال حوله؟ قال: هؤلاء أطفال المؤمنين حوله يغذوهم. ثم مضى فمر على شيخ قاعد على كرسي، إذا نظر عن يمينه ضحك وفرح، وإذا نظر عن يساره خزن وبكى، فقال: من هذا يا جبرئيل؟ قال: هذا أبوك آدم، إذا رأى من يدخل الجنة من ذريته ضحك وفرح، وإذا رأى من يدخل النار من ذريته حزن وبكى. ثم مضى فمر على ملك قاعد على كرسي فسلم عليه، فلم ير منه من البشر ما رأى من الملائكة، فقال: يا جبرئيل، ما مررت بأحد من الملائكة إلا رأيت منه ما أحب إلا هذا، فمن هذا الملك؟ قال: هذا مالك خازن النار، أما إنه قد كان من أحسن الملائكة بشرا، وأطلقهم وجها، فلما جعل خازن النار أطلع فيها اطلاعة، فرأى ما أعد الله فيها لاهلها، فلم يضحك بعد ذلك. ثم مضى حتى إذا انتهى حيث انتهى فرضت عليه الصلاة خمسون صلاة، قال: فأقبل فمر على موسى (عليه السلام)، فقال: يا محمد، كم فرض على امتك؟ قال: خمسون صلاة. قال: ارجع إلى ربك فسله أن يخفف عن امتك. قال: فرجع ثم مر على موسى (عليه السلام)، فقال: كم فرض على امتك؟ قال: كذا وكذا. قال: فإن امتك أضعف الامم، ارجع إلى ربك فسله أن يخفف عن امتك، فإني كنت في بني إسرائيل فلم يكونوا يطيقون إلا دون هذا. فلم يزل يرجع إلى ربه عز وجل حتى جعلها خمس صلوات، قال: ثم مر على موسى (عليه السلام)، فقال: كم فرض على امتك؟ قال: خمس صلوات. قال: ارجع إلى ربك فسله أن يخفف عن امتك، قال: قد استحييت من ربي مما ارجع إليه. ثم مضى فمر على إبراهيم خليل الرحمن، فناداه من خلفه، فقال: يا محمد، اقرأ امتك عني السلام، وأخبرهم أن الجنة ماؤها عذب، وتربتها طيبة، فيها قيعان  بيض، غرسها سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، فمر أمتك فليكثروا من غرسها. ثم مضى حتى مر بعير يقدمها حمل أورق، ثم أتى أهل مكة فأخبرهم بمسيره، وقد كان بمكة قوم من قريش قد أتوا بيت المقدس فأخبرهم، ثم قال: آية ذلك أنها تطلع عليكم الساعة عير مع طلوع الشمس، يقدمها جمل أورق، قال: فنظروا فإذا هي قد طلعت، وأخبرهم أنه قد مر بأبي سفيان، وأن إبله نفرت في بعض الليل، وأنه نادى غلاما له في أول العير: يا فلان، إن الابل قد نفرت، وإن فلانة قد ألقت حملها، وانكسرت يدها. فسألوا عن الخبر، فوجدوه كما قال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) (١).
Al-Hasan b. Muhammad b. Sa`id al-Hashimi narrated to us. He said: Furat b. Ibrahim b Furat al-Kufi narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Ahmad b. `Ali al-Hamadani narrated to us. He said: Al-Hasan b. `Ali al-Shami narrated to us from his father. He said: Abu Jarir narrated to us. He said: `Ata’ al-Khurasani narrated to us, raising it to `Abd al-Rahman b. Ghanam. He said: Gabriel  came to the Messenger of Allah (s) with a beast that was smaller than a mule but bigger than a donkey. Its back legs were taller than its front legs. Its steps were as far as the eye could see. When the Prophet wanted to mount it, it prevented [him from doing so]. So, Gabriel  said: This is Muhammad. So, it humbled itself until it dropped to the Earth. He said: So, he mounted it. Whenever it landed, it would raise its front legs and bend its back legs. Whenever it climbed, it would raise its back legs and bend its front legs. In the darkness of the night, it passed by a loaded caravan. The caravan dispersed due to the shine of the Buraq. So, a man at the end of the caravan called to a boy of his at the front of the caravan: O so-and-so! A camel has been lost, and so-and-so has lost her burdens and broken her hand. The caravan belonged to Abi Sufyan. He said: He continued until he reached the middle of Balqa’ (in Jordan). He said: O Gabriel! I have become thirsty. Hand me, Gabriel, a vessel with water in it. So, he handed it to him, and he drank. Then, he passed by a community that was hanging by their tongues on hooks of fire. So, he said: Who are these, O Gabriel? So, he said: These are the ones whom Allah enriched with permitted things, but they sought the forbidden things. He said: Then, he passed by a community whose skin was being sewn by needles of fire. So, he said: Who are these, O Gabriel? So, he said: These are the ones who unlawfully take the virginity of women. Then, he passed by a man who was lifting a bundle of firewood. Every time he tries to lift it, more was added onto it. So, he said: Who is this, Gabriel? He said: This is a debtor who wants to pay his debt, but whenever he cannot, more was added onto him. Then, he passed by the eastern mountain by the Bayt al-Maqdis, and he found a hot gust and heard a sound. He said: What is this gust that I feel and this sound that I hear, Gabriel? He said: This is Hell. So, the Prophet (s) said: I seek refuge in Allah from Hell. Then, he found a pleasant gust to its right and heard a sound. So, he said: What is this gust that I feel and this sound that I hear, Gabriel? He said: This is Paradise. So, he said: I ask Allah for Paradise. He said: Then, he ended up at the gate of the city of Bayt al-Maqdis, in which was Heraclius. The gates of the city would be locked every night, and then they would come to him with the keys and put it at his head. On that night, the gate was prevented from being locked, so they informed him. So, he said: Double the number of guards. He said: So, the Messenger of Allah (s) came and entered Bayt al-Maqdis. Gabriel  came to the Rock and raised it. Gabriel took three cups from beneath it: a cup of milk, a cup of honey, and a cup of wine. He gave him the cup of milk and he drank it. Then, he gave him the cup of honey and he drank it. Then, he gave him the cup of wine, and he said: It has been forbidden, Gabriel. He said: Surely, if you would have drunken it, your Nation would have become misguided and would have split away from you. He said: Then, the Messenger of Allah (s) led seventy prophets in Bayt al-Maqdis. He said: With Gabriel , an angel came down that had never stepped on the Earth; and with him were the keys to the treasuries of the Earth. So, he said: O Muhammad! Your Lord recites the salaam to you, and He says: “These are the keys to the treasuries of the Earth. If you wish, you could be a servant-prophet, and if you wish, you could be a kingly prophet.” So, Gabriel  gestured to him: Humility, Muhammad. So, he said: Rather, I will be a servant-prophet. Then, he ascended to heaven. When he ended up at the gate of heaven, Gabriel opened it, and they said: Who is this? He said: Muhammad. They said: The best one to come has come. So, he entered, and he did not pass by a single angel except that it greeted him, prayed for him, and came close to him. He passed by an elder sitting under a tree with children around him. So, the Messenger of Allah (s) said: Who is this elder, Gabriel? He said: This is your father Ibrahim. He said: Who are these children around him? He said: These are the children of the believers. They are around him as he feeds them. Then he passed by an elder sitting on a chair: when he looked to his right, he smiled and became happy, but when he looked to his left, he became sorrowful and wept. So, he said: Who is this, Gabriel? He said: This is your father Adam. When he sees his descendants enter Paradise, he smiles and becomes joyful. When he sees his descendants enter the Fire, he becomes sorrowful and weeps. Then, he passed by an angel sitting on a chair, so he greeted him. He did not see the joy in his face that he saw in the other angels, so he said: O Gabriel! I did not pass by an angel but that I saw something that I loved from him, except for this one. So, who is this angel? He said: This is Malik, the keeper of the Fire. He was one of the most beautiful angels in his face, but when he was made the keeper of the Fire, this happened to him. He saw what Allah did to its people and he did not smile after that. Then, he continued until he was given the obligation of fifty prayers. He said: So, he accepted that. Then, he passed by Musa , who said: O Muhammad! How many have been obligated on your Nation? He said: Fifty prayers. He said: Return to your Lord and ask Him to lighten the load on your Nation. He said: So, he went back, then he passed by Musa , who said: How many have been obligated on your Nation? He said: Such and such. He said: Surely, your Nation is the weakest of nations, so return to your Lord and ask him to lighten the load on your Nation, for surely, I was with the Children of Israel, and they were not able to do even less than this. So, he did not stop returning to his Lord until He made it five prayers. He said: Then, he passed by Musa , who said: How many have been obligated on your Nation? He said: Five prayers. He said: Return to your Lord and ask Him to lighten the load on your Nation. He said: I am too embarrassed to return to my Lord again. Then, he passed by Ibrahim the Friend of the Merciful, and he called out to him from behind him, saying: O Muhammad! Recite the salaam to your Nation on my behalf and inform them that the homes of Paradise are pure and its dust is perfume. Its plains are white, and their vegetation is "may Allah be glorified, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the greatest, and there is no ability nor power except by Allah (subhanallah, alhamdulillah, la ilaha illallah, Allahu akhbar, and la hawla wala quwwata illa billah)", so pass by your Nation and [tell them to] plant frequently in them. Then, he passed by a caravan that was headed by a grey camel. Then, he went to the people of Mecca and informed them of his journey. In Mecca there were a people who had been to Bayt al-Maqdis, so he informed them. Then, he said: The sign of this is that a caravan will come at the moment of sunrise, headed by a grey mule. He said: So, they looked, and they found that it had risen, and he informed them that it had passed by Abi Sufyan, and that it had lost a camel in part of the night, and that he called for a boy of his at the front of the caravan: "O so-and-so! This camel has been lost, and so-and-so has lost her burdens and broken her hand." So, they asked him about this, and they found that it was just as the Prophet (s) had said.
