555. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al-Kahily, who has said: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام regarding the Statement of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic: “[10:101] and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe”. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘When ascension took place with the Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم of Allah عز وجل, Jibraeel came up to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم with Al-Buraaq (the ride). So he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم rode on it and came to Bayt Al-Maqdas (Jerusalem). So he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم met the ones whom he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم met from his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم brothers from the Prophets عليه السلام. Then he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم returned and narrated it to his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم companions, ‘I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم came to Bayt Al-Maqdas, and returned during the night. Jibraeel came to me صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم with Al-Buraaq, so I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم rode upon it, and the sign of that is that I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم passed by the camels of Abu Sufyan being watered at the watering hole of the clan of so and so. A red camel of theirs had strayed and the group were looking for it. So some of them said to the others, ‘But rather he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم went to Syria whilst riding at speed whereas you have been to Syria and recognise it. So ask him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم about its markets, and its doors, and its businessmen’. So they said, ‘O Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم of Allah عز وجل, how is Syria, and how are its markets?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, when asked about something that he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم did not recognise, he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would not describe it until after seeing it in front of him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. So when they were in the middle of that, Jibraeel came up to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and said: ‘O Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, this here is Syria which has been raised for you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم!’ So the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم turned and visualised Syria, with its doors, and its markets, and its businessmen’. So he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: ‘Where are the questioners about Syria?’ So they said to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, ‘It is so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. So the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم answered them with regards to all of what they asked from him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. Even then they did not believe from among them, except for a few, and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل Blessed and High: “[10:101] and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe”. Then Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘We عليه الصلاة والسلام seek Refuge with Allah عز وجل from disbelief in Allah عز وجل and in His عز وجل Rasool صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. We عليه الصلاة والسلام believe in Allah عز وجل and in His عز وجل Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم’.
