Titles: Siddiq (Hazrat Musleh Mau’d’s (ra) Narration)

Hazrat Musleh-e-Maud (ra) states:

“Hazrat Aisha (ra) relates that when the incident of Isra [i.e. the Spiritual Night Journey] took place, people went running to Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) and asked him whether he was aware of what his friend was saying. He asked them what it was that he was saying. They replied, ‘He says that he travelled to Baitul Maqdis at night and then returned.’”

Hazrat Musleh-e-Maud (ra) further writes:

“Had the Holy Prophet (sa) mentioned the incident of the Mi‘raj [i.e. the Spiritual Ascension] having occurred at the same time as being part of the same incident, the disbelievers would have raised more of an issue with that aspect; however, they only said that the Holy Prophet (sa) claimed that he travelled to Baitul Maqdis in the night.

“When Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) attested to what the Holy Prophet (sa) said, the people said, ‘Do you accept this which goes against logic?’ Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) said, ‘I also accept the fact that divine words are revealed to him by day and by night.’”
