Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:"I was brought an animal that was larger than a donkey and smaller than a mule, whose stride could reach as far as it could see. I mounted it, and Jibril was with me, and I set off. Then he said: 'Dismount and pray,' so I did that. He said: 'Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Taibah, which will be the place of the emigration.' Then he said: 'Dismount and pray,' so I prayed. He said: 'Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Mount Sinai, where Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, spoke to Musa, peace be upon him.' So I dismounted and prayed, and he said: 'Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Bethlehem, where 'Eisa, peace be upon him, was born.' Then I entered Bait Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) where the Prophets, peace be upon them, were assembled for me, and Jibril brought me forward to lead them in prayer. Then I was taken up to the first heaven, where I saw Adam, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the second heaven where I saw the maternal cousins 'Eisa and Yahya, peace be upon them. Then I was taken up to the third heaven where I saw Yusuf, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the fourth heaven where I saw Harun, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the fifth heaven where I saw Idris, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the sixth heaven where I saw Musa, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the seventh heaven where I saw Ibrahim, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up above seven heavens and we came to Sidrah Al-Muntaha and I was covered with fog. I fell down prostrate and it was said to me: '(Indeed) The day I created the heavens and the Earth, I enjoined upon you and your Ummah fifty prayers, so establish them, you and your Ummah.' I came back to Ibrahim and he did not ask me about anything, then I came to Musa and he said: 'How much did your Lord enjoin upon you and your Ummah?' I said: 'Fifty prayers.' He said: 'You will not be able to establish them, neither you nor your Ummah. Go back to your Lord and ask Him to reduce it.' So I went back to my Lord and He reduced it by ten. Then I came to Musa and he told me to go back, so I went back and He reduced it by ten. Then I came to Musa and he told me to go back, so I went back and He reduced it by ten. Then it was reduced it by ten. Then it was reduced to five prayers. He (Musa) said: 'Go back to you Lord and ask Him to reduce it, for two prayers were enjoined upon the Children of Israel but they did not establish them.' So I went back to my Lord and asked Him to reduce it, but He said: 'The day I created the heavens and the Earth, I enjoined fifty prayers upon you and your Ummah. Five is for fifty, so establish them, you and your Ummah.' I knew that this was what Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, had determined so I went back to Musa, peace be upon him, and he said: 'Go back.' But I knew that it was what Allah had determined, so I did not go back

اخبرنا عمرو بن هشام، قال حدثنا مخلد، عن سعيد بن عبد العزيز، قال حدثنا يزيد بن ابي مالك، قال حدثنا انس بن مالك، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " اتيت بدابة فوق الحمار ودون البغل خطوها عند منتهى طرفها فركبت ومعي جبريل عليه السلام فسرت فقال انزل فصل . ففعلت فقال اتدري اين صليت صليت بطيبة واليها المهاجر ثم قال انزل فصل . فصليت فقال اتدري اين صليت صليت بطور سيناء حيث كلم الله عز وجل موسى عليه السلام ثم قال انزل فصل . فنزلت فصليت فقال اتدري اين صليت صليت ببيت لحم حيث ولد عيسى عليه السلام . ثم دخلت بيت المقدس فجمع لي الانبياء عليهم السلام فقدمني جبريل حتى اممتهم ثم صعد بي الى السماء الدنيا فاذا فيها ادم عليه السلام ثم صعد بي الى السماء الثانية فاذا فيها ابنا الخالة عيسى ويحيى عليهما السلام ثم صعد بي الى السماء الثالثة فاذا فيها يوسف عليه السلام ثم صعد بي الى السماء الرابعة فاذا فيها هارون عليه السلام ثم صعد بي الى السماء الخامسة فاذا فيها ادريس عليه السلام ثم صعد بي الى السماء السادسة فاذا فيها موسى عليه السلام ثم صعد بي الى السماء السابعة فاذا فيها ابراهيم عليه السلام ثم صعد بي فوق سبع سموات فاتينا سدرة المنتهى فغشيتني ضبابة فخررت ساجدا فقيل لي اني يوم خلقت السموات والارض فرضت عليك وعلى امتك خمسين صلاة فقم بها انت وامتك . فرجعت الى ابراهيم فلم يسالني عن شىء ثم اتيت على موسى فقال كم فرض الله عليك وعلى امتك قلت خمسين صلاة . قال فانك لا تستطيع ان تقوم بها انت ولا امتك فارجع الى ربك فاساله التخفيف . فرجعت الى ربي فخفف عني عشرا ثم اتيت موسى فامرني بالرجوع فرجعت فخفف عني عشرا ثم ردت الى خمس صلوات . قال فارجع الى ربك فاساله التخفيف فانه فرض على بني اسراييل صلاتين فما قاموا بهما . فرجعت الى ربي عز وجل فسالته التخفيف فقال اني يوم خلقت السموات والارض فرضت عليك وعلى امتك خمسين صلاة فخمس بخمسين فقم بها انت وامتك . فعرفت انها من الله تبارك وتعالى صرى فرجعت الى موسى عليه السلام فقال ارجع فعرفت انها من الله صرى - اى حتم - فلم ارجع
