Narated By 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 boundary) which was
shrouded in colours, indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small (tents or) walls (made) of
pearls and its earth was of musk."

prayers e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka'ba)". (2.125)

Apostle finished his preaching, he said, "Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of them betook himself to

away, so Allah turned His face from him likewise.

Narated By 'Aisha : (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 Soft-hearted
person and could not help weeping while reciting the Qur'an. The chiefs of the Quraish pagans became afraid of that
(i.e. that their children and women might be affected by the recitation of Qur'an)."

Narated By 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 centre, 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).

Narated By Ibn Sirin : 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 Taslim. 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 sub-narrator added, "I think that they asked (Ibn Sirin) whether the Prophet
completed the prayer with Taslim. He replied, "I heard that 'Imran bin Husain had said, 'Then he (the Prophet) did
Taslim.")
