that I was taken on a night journey. They asked: To where? He said: To Bayt al-Maqdis. They said: Then you returned to us by morning? He said: Yes. He said: Some clapped, and others placed their hands on their heads, amazed at what they considered a lie; they claimed! They said: Can you describe the mosque for us—among them were those who had traveled to that land and seen the mosque?! The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: So I began to describe, and I continued to describe until some of the description became unclear to me. He said: Then the mosque was brought before me while I was looking until it was placed near the house of ʿIqāl—or ʿAqīl—and I described it while I was looking at it—he said: And there was with this a description I did not remember— He said: The people said: As for the description; by Allāh! He was accurate. It was recorded by al-Nasāʾī in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" (6/377/11285), Ibn Abī Shaybah in "al-Muṣannaf" (11/461/11746), Aḥmad (1/309) and through him al-Ḍiyāʾ al-Maqdisī in "al-Mukhtārah" (1/309), al-Ḥarbī in "Gharīb al-Ḥadīth" (5/115/2), al-Bazzār (1/45-46), al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (12/167/12782) and "al-Awsaṭ" (1/136/2/2623), and al-Bayhaqī in "Dalāʾil al-Nubuwwah" (2/363) from
