<a id="_Toc492473690">H 15002</a> – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al-Kahily, who has said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Abdullah</span>^asws regarding the Statement of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic: <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:10#h101"><a href="/books/quran:10#h101">[10:101]</a></a> and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe”</span>. He^asws said: ‘When ascension took place with the Messenger^saww of Allah^azwj, Jibraeel came up to him^saww with <span class="iTxt">Al-Buraaq</span> (the ride). So he^saww rode on it and came to <span class="iTxt">Bayt Al-Maqdas</span> (Jerusalem). So he^saww met the ones whom he^saww met from his^saww brothers from the Prophets^as. Then he^saww returned and narrated it to his^saww companions, ‘I^saww came to <span class="iTxt">Bayt Al-Maqdas</span>, and returned during the night. Jibraeel came to me^saww with <span class="iTxt">Al-Buraaq</span>, so I^saww rode upon it, and the sign of that is that I^saww 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^saww went to Syria whilst riding at speed whereas you have been to Syria and recognise it. So ask him^saww about its markets, and its doors, and its businessmen’. So they said, ‘O Messenger^saww of Allah^azwj, how is Syria, and how are its markets?’ He^asws said: ‘The Messenger^saww, when asked about something that he^saww did not recognise, he^saww would not describe it until after seeing it in front of him^saww. So when they were in the middle of that, Jibraeel came up to him^saww and said: ‘O Rasool Allah^saww, this here is Syria which has been raised for you^saww!’ So the Rasool Allah^saww turned and visualised Syria, with its doors, and its markets, and its businessmen’. So he^saww said: ‘Where are the questioners about Syria?’ So they said to him^saww, ‘It is so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. So the Rasool Allah^saww answered them with regards to all of what they asked from him^saww. Even then they did not believe from among them, except for a few, and it is the Statement of Allah^azwj Blessed and High: <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:10#h101"><a href="/books/quran:10#h101">[10:101]</a></a> and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe”</span>. Then Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘We^asws seek Refuge with Allah^azwj from disbelief in Allah^azwj and in His^azwj Rasool^saww. We^asws believe in Allah^azwj and in His^azwj Messenger^saww’.
