On the authority of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him),

4
00:00:25,489 --> 00:00:31,329
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said regarding al-Buraq in the hadith of the Night Journey (al-Isra'):

00:00:31,329 --> 00:00:35,009
"So I rode it until I arrived at Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem)."

6
00:00:35,009 --> 00:00:36,090
He said:

7
00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:40,600
"Then I tied it to the ring to which the prophets used to tie [their mounts]."

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,719
He said:

9
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:48,380
"Then I entered the mosque, prayed two rak'ahs therein, and came out."

10
00:00:48,380 --> 00:00:52,079

Vocabulary of the hadith:

Meaning: the ring at the gate of the mosque of Bayt al-Maqdis.

14
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:05,599
Overall meaning:

15
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:14,079
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Gabriel (peace be upon him) arrived at Bayt al-Maqdis on the Night of al-Isra',

16
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:17,840
he tied al-Buraq to the ring at the gate of al-Aqsa Mosque,

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,120
just as the prophets before him used to tether their mounts to that very ring.

18
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:27,400
Then he (peace be upon him) entered it and prayed two rak'ahs therein.

19
00:01:33,189 --> 00:01:36,510

reinforces and affirms its sacred heritage and historical authenticity.

21
00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:49,420
Tying al-Buraq carries a profound significance, reflecting the importance of taking practical means toward reclaiming the sanctities,

22
00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:53,219
and showing that doing so does not contradict relying upon Allah.

23
00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:56,739
It contains a clear indication and an explicit proof

24
00:01:56,739 --> 00:02:02,939
that the prophets used to journey to al-Aqsa Mosque and make pilgrimages to it.
