Hadith 113

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – By this chain, from Isa Bin Mihran, from Yahya Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Furat, from Hammad Bin Ya’la, from Ali Bin Al Hazawar, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata, ‘From Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiya, the Azaan was mentioned in his presence. He said, ‘When there was an ascension with the Prophet-saww to the sky and he-saww ended to the sixth sky, an Angel descended from the seventh sky, no having descended before that day at all. He said, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! ’
Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty Said: “I-azwj am like that! ”
He said, ‘I testify there is no god except Allah-azwj’. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “I-azwj am like that, there is no god except Me-azwj! ”
He said, ‘I testify Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj! ’
Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty Said: “My-azwj servant and My-azwj trustee upon My-azwj creatures. I-azwj Chose him-saww for My-azwj Message! ”
Then he said, ‘Hasten to the Salat! ’
Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, Said: “I-azwj have Imposed it upon My-azwj servants and Made it a religion of Mine-azwj! ”
Then he said, ‘Hasten to the success! ’
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Successful is the one who walks to it, and perseveres upon it seeking My-azwj Face! ”
Then he said, ‘Hasten to best of the deeds! ’
Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, Said: “It is best of the deeds and it’s most pure in My-azwj Presence! ”
Then he said, ‘The Salat is being established! ’
The Prophet-saww went ahead and led people of the sky. From that day, nobility of the Prophet‑saww was completed’’. [178]
