Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 3276

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِدْرَةَ الْمُنْتَهَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ انْتَهَى إِلَيْهَا مَا يَعْرُجُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنْ فَوْقَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ عِنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا لَمْ يُعْطِهِنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ خَمْسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأُعْطِيَ خَوَاتِيمَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغُفِرَ لِأُمَّتِهِ الْمُقْحِمَاتُ مَا لَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ:‏‏‏‏ إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى سورة النجم آية 16، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ السِّدْرَةُ فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سُفْيَانُ:‏‏‏‏ فَرَاشٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَشَارَ سُفْيَانُ بِيَدِهِ فَأَرْعَدَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ غَيْرُ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ:‏‏‏‏ إِلَيْهَا يَنْتَهِي عِلْمُ الْخَلْقِ لَا عِلْمَ لَهُمْ بِمَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Narrated ['Abdullah] bin Mas'ud: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reached Sidrat Al-Muntaha He said: 'There terminates everything that ascends from the earth, and everything that descends from above. So there Allah gave him three, which He did not give to any Prophet before him: He made fiver prayers obligatory upon him, He gave him the last Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah, and He pardoned the grave sins for those of his Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah.' Ibn Mas'ud said regarding the Ayah: When that covered the Sidrah which did cover it! (53:16) he said: The sixth Sidrah in heavens. Sufyan said: Golden butterflies and Sufyan indicated with his hand in a fluttering motion. Others besides Malik bin Mighwal said: There terminates the creatures' knowledge, there is no knowledge for them of what is above that.
