and therein I found a courtyard of pearls,

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.740
and its soil was musk."

Imam Ahmad recorded it in his Musnad,

00:00:42.380 --> 00:00:46.219
and al-Tirmidhi in his Jami' with a hasan (sound) chain of narration,

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:50.460
on the authority of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:53.100
"By Allah, the Buraq did not depart

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:56.700
until the gates of heaven were opened for them,

00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:58.899
and he saw Paradise and Hellfire,

00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:04.569
and the entirety of the promise of the Hereafter."

00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.719
"When the Prophet, peace be upon him, was taken up to heaven,

00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.560
he said: 'I came upon a river whose banks were hollowed pearls.'

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.519
I asked, 'What is this, O Jibril?'

00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.939
He replied, 'This is al-Kawthar.'"

00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:50.219
"When the Prophet of Allah, peace be upon him, was taken up into Paradise,

00:01:50.219 --> 00:01:52.060
or as he said,

00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:56.620
a river was presented to him whose banks were of hollowed jacinth,

00:01:56.620 --> 00:01:59.569
or he said, 'hollowed out.'

00:01:59.569 --> 00:02:02.650
The angel who was with him struck his hand,

00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:04.849
and brought forth musk.

00:02:04.890 --> 00:02:07.930
Then Muhammad, peace be upon him, asked

00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:10.009
the angel who was with him,

00:02:10.009 --> 00:02:11.530
'What is this?'

00:02:11.530 --> 00:02:12.650
He replied,

00:02:12.650 --> 00:02:16.210
