The people of shirk increased in mockery and their evil and their belittlement of the Messenger sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam whereas the believers increased in eemaan.
Therefore when the people of shirk said to Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq radiyallaahu`anhu:
"Look at your companion - what he is saying!" He said: "What is he
saying?" They said: "He is claiming that he went to Jerusalem (and that
he was taken up through the heavens) and that he came back in a single
night!" Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq
said: "If he said it, then it is just as he said. He has spoken the
truth." They said: "How can that be?" He said: "I attest to the truth of
what he says with regard to something greater than that. I attest to
the truth with regard to the news coming down from the heavens upon him.
So, how should I not attest to the truth of what he says with regard to
his being taken at night to Jerusalem?"[3]
This
[night journey and ascension] came about through the ability of Allaah,
the Mighty and Majestic, not through the ability of the Messenger sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam. It was only through the ability of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. This was one of the miracles given to the Messenger sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam and is a case of Allaah showing his honorable status with his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic.
It must be held as a person's creed and belief that he sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam
was taken on the Night Journey and taken up through the Heavens with
his soul and his body together whilst awake and not as a dream;, because
some people say: "He was taken on the Night Journey with his soul, and
as for his body, then it did not go outside Makkah. And he was only
taken on the Night Journey and taken up through the heavens with his
soul." This is false and futile speech. Rather he was taken on the Night
Journey with his soul and his body `alaihissalaatuwassalaam and he was carried upon al-Buraaq.
And this was in a state of being awake, not asleep, since if it had
happened with his soul only or if it had been a dream, then what would
have been the difference between it and (other) dreams.
Whereas Allaah, the Majestic and Most High, says:
«Perfect and Exalted is He who took His `abd on a journey by night.» [17:1]
The `abd is used to apply to the soul and the body together. It is not used for just the soul alone that it be described as `abd, nor is it applied to the body alone that is an `abd.
It is not used except to apply to the soul and the body combined, for
He did not say: "Perfect and Exalted is He who took the soul of His `abd." Rather He said: «...took His `abd on a journey by night.»
The `abd
is the combination of the soul and the body. And Allaah, the Majestic
and Most High, is not rendered incapable by anything and He is the One
who has full power over everything.
