Mairaj-ul-Nabi( PBUH) (A night jourey)
.jpg)
The Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) PBUH sent Dihyah bin Khalifah to Caesar. He mentioned how he came to him, and described an incident that showed how wise Caesar was. He sent for the Arab merchants who were in Syria and Abu Sufyan and his companions were brought to him.
He asked them the well-known questions . Abu Sufyan ﴾said: "By Allah, I did not want to tell a lie that would later be found out, and he would never believe me again after that. Then I told him about the night on which he was taken on the Night Journey.
I said: `O King, shall I not tell you of something from which you will know that he(PBUH) is lying' He said, `What is it' I said: `He claims that he went out of our land, in one night, and came to your land in Jerusalem, then came back to us the same night, before morning came.' The Patriarch of Jerusalem was there, standing next to Caesar.
The Patriarch of Jerusalem said: `I know that night.' Caesar looked at him and said, `How do you know about this' He said, `I did not sleep at night until I closed the doors of the sanctuary. On that night
I closed all the doors except for one, which I could not close. I asked my workers and others who were with me to help me deal , but we could not move it. It was like trying to move a mountain. So I called the carpenters, and they looked at it and said: some part of the structure has fallen onto it.
We cannot move it until morning. So I went back and left those two doors open. The next morning I went back, and saw that the stone at the corner of the sanctuary had a hole in it, and there were traces of an animal having been tethered there.
I said to my companions: This door has not been closed last night except for a Prophet, who prayed last night in our sanctuary.''.
