حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ عَلَى حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ أُسْرِيَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَوْ انْطَلَقْنَا فَلَقِينَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا عَلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلَاهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلْ دَخَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ وَصَلَّى فِيهِ قَالَ مَا اسْمُكَ يَا أَصْلَعُ فَإِنِّي أَعْرِفُ وَجْهَكَ وَلَا أَدْرِي مَا اسْمُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنَا زِرُّ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ فَمَا عِلْمُكَ بِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِيهِ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ الْقُرْآنُ يُخْبِرُنِي بِذَلِكَ قَالَ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَلَحَ اقْرَأْ قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُ { سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ } قَالَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ صَلَّى فِيهِ قَالَ يَا أَصْلَعُ هَلْ تَجِدُ صَلَّى فِيهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ لَوْ صَلَّى فِيهِ لَكُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَلَاةٌ فِيهِ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَلَاةٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ وَاللَّهِ مَا زَايَلَا الْبُرَاقَ حَتَّى فُتِحَتْ لَهُمَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ فَرَأَيَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَوَعْدَ الْآخِرَةِ أَجْمَعَ ثُمَّ عَادَا عَوْدَهُمَا عَلَى بَدْئِهِمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ نَوَاجِذَهُ قَالَ وَيُحَدِّثُونَ أَنَّهُ لَرَبَطَهُ لِيَفِرَّ مِنْهُ وَإِنَّمَا سَخَّرَهُ لَهُ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَيُّ دَابَّةٍ الْبُرَاقُ قَالَ دَابَّةٌ أَبْيَضُ طَوِيلٌ هَكَذَا خَطْوُهُ مَدُّ الْبَصَرِ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abu al-Nadr told us, Shayban told us, from 'Asim, from Zirr b. Hubaysh, he said: I came upon Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman while he was speaking about the night Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Night Journey, and he was saying: "So we set out, and we met, until we came to the Holy House, but they did not enter it." I said: "Rather, the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) entered it that night and prayed in it." He said: "What is your name, O bald one? I know your face but I do not know your name." I said: "I am Zirr b. Hubaysh." He said: "What is your knowledge that the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in it that night?" I said: "The Qur'an informs me of that." He said: "Whoever speaks by the Qur'an has succeeded - recite." So I recited: {Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque}. He said: "I do not find in it that he prayed there. O bald one, do you find that he prayed there?" I said: "No." He said: "By God, the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray there that night; had he prayed there, prayer there would have been prescribed for you just as prayer was prescribed for you at the Ancient House. By God, they did not part until the gates of heaven were opened for them, and they saw Paradise and the Fire and all the promise of the Hereafter; then they returned as they had come." He said: Then he laughed until I saw his molars. He said: And they relate that he tied it up lest it flee from him, whereas the Knower of the unseen and the seen had merely subjected it to him. I said: "Abu 'Abdullah, what kind of animal was the Buraq?" He said: "A white animal, tall, its stride reaching as far as the eye could see."
