4. We were told by Ali bin Abdullah al-Warraq, and Ali bin Muhammed bin Hasan al-Qazwini, that they both said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Abbas bin Sa’eed al-Azraq, that he said: We were told by Abu Nasr, from Isa bin Mahran, from Yahya bin Hasan bin Furat, from Hammad bin Ya’la, from Ali bin Hazzur, from Isba’ bin Nabata, from Muhammed bin Hanafiya, that he mentioned the Adhan at his presence and said:

When the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, was journeyed to Heaven, he reached the Sixth Heaven, an Angel, descended from the Seventh Heaven, who has never descended before that day, and he said: Allah is the Greater, Allah is the Greater. Then Allah, Glorified be His Glory, said: I am as such. Then he said: I testify that there is no god but Allah. Then Allah, Glorified be His Glory, said: I am as such, there is no god but Me. Then he said: I testify that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah. Allah, Glorified be His Glory, said: My Servant and Trustee upon My creation, I selected him over My servants for My Message. Then he said: Hasten to prayer. Allah, Glorified be His Glory, said: I have made it obligatory upon My servants, and I have made it to Myself a debt. Then he said: Hasten to success. Allah, Glorified be His Glory, said: Successful shall be the one who walks to it and perseveres it for the sake of My Face. Then he said: Hasten to the best of deeds. Allah, Glorified be His Glory, said: It is the best of deeds and the most pure of it to Me. Then he said: Verily, the prayer has been established. Then the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, came forward and lead the people of Heaven (in prayer), and from that day, the esteem of the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, was completed.
