Me'raj-un-Nabi Sallallaho Alaihi Wa Sallam - The Divine Vision‏

Sayings of Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him):

1. Imam Ahmad ibne Hambal (Radi ALLAH Anh) in his Musnad narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibne Abbaas (Radi ALLAH Anh)
قال رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم رأيت ربي عزّ و جل
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) said, "I saw my Sublime Creator".

Imam Jalaludeen Suyuti (Radi ALLAH Anh) in his Khasa'ise Kubra and Allama Abdur Raouf Munadi(Radi ALLAH Anh) in his Tafseer Shar'ha Jameh Sagheer state that this Hadith Shareef is authentic.

2. Imam Muhaddith Ibne Asakar(Radi ALLAH Anh) narrates from Sayyiduna Jaabir bin Abdullah(Radi ALLAH Anh) that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) states:

لأن الله أعطى موسى الكلام و أعطاني الروية لوجهه و فضلني بالمقام المحمود والحوض المورود
"Verily, Almighty ALLAH blessed Sayyiduna Moosa, with the privilege of Dialogue and cherished me with his Divine Vision and exalted me with the Crown of Intercession and the Fountain of Kauthar".

3. Imam Asakar (Radi ALLAH Anh) also narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibne Mas'ood (Radi ALLAH Anh) , who said:

قال رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلّم قال لي ربي نحلت إبراهيم خلتي و كلمت موسى تكليما و أعطيتك يا محمد كفاحا
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Peace Be Upon Him) states, "My Glorious Lord said to me, 'I gave My friendship to Sayyiduna Ibraheem, and spoke to Sayyiduna Moosa, and O Muhammad ! I blessed you with My Meeting (where you saw My Divine Being without any obstacles)'".

In Majma'ol Bihaar, the word كفاحا of the above Hadith Shareef is explained as follows:

مجمع البحار كفاحا أي مواجهة ليس بينهما حجاب ولا رسول
Majma-ul-Bihaar explains the word كفاحا that Almighty ALLAH blessed His Beloved with such a Presence and Vision that there were no veils as barriers and no intervention of an Angel.

4. Ibne Marduwiyya (Radi ALLAH Anh) narrates from Sayyadah Asma bint Abu Bakr (Radi ALLAH Anha) that:

سمعت رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه و سلّم و هو يصف سدرة المنتهى (وذكر الحديث الى ان قالت) فقلت يا رسول الله ما رأيت عندها قال رأيت عندها يعنى ربه
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Peace Be Upon Him) was praising the excellence of Sidratul-Muntaha when I inquired from him, "Ya Rasoolullah! What did you see at Sidratul-Muntaha?" He said, "There I saw the Divine Glory (i.e. of Allah)."
