376. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Hadeed, who has narrated the following
Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘When the ascension (Me’raaj) took place with the Rasool Allah (saww), in the morning he (saww) sat and narrated it to them (his (saww) companions). So they said to him (saww), ‘Describe for us Bayt Al-Maqdas’. So he (saww) described it for them, as he (saww) had seen it during the night, therefore they remained vague about it. So Jibraeel came to him (saww) and said: ‘Look over there!’ So he (saww) looked towards Al-Bayt (Al-Maqdas) and described it to them whilst looking at it. Then he (saww) described for them the caravan, which was in between them and Syria. Then said: ‘These were the camels of the Clan of so and so and will be arriving with the rise of the sun, led by a red camel’. And the Quresyh then sent a man upon a horse to turn these back, but it still arrived with the rise of the sun. Qurtat Bin Abd Amro said, ‘O a grief that I don’t be for you a trunk (strong enough) when you (saww) claims that you (saww) came to Bait Al-Maqdis and returned in the same night (O Prophet (saww)!).
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ
لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَصْبَحَ فَقَعَدَ فَحَدَّثَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا لَهُ صِفْ لَنَا بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ قَالَ فَوَصَفَ لَهُمْ وَ إِنَّمَا دَخَلَهُ لَيْلًا فَاشْتَبَهَ عَلَيْهِ النَّعْتُ فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ انْظُرْ هَاهُنَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَوَصَفَهُ وَ هُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ نَعَتَ لَهُمْ مَا كَانَ مِنْ عِيرٍ لَهُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَ الشَّامِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذِهِ عِيرُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ تَقْدَمُ مَعَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ يَتَقَدَّمُهَا جَمَلٌ أَوْرَقُ أَوْ أَحْمَرُ قَالَ وَ بَعَثَ قُرَيْشٌ رَجُلًا عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِيَرُدَّهَا قَالَ وَ بَلَغَ مَعَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ قُرْطَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ عَمْرٍو يَا لَهْفاً أَلَّا أَكُونَ لَكَ جَذَعاً حِينَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ أَتَيْتَ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ وَ رَجَعْتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ.
