On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with both of them,
0:20
that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:24
"When Quraysh rejected my claim, I stood in al-Hijr, and Allah unveiled Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) before me,
0:31
so I began to describe its features to them while looking directly at it."

Vocabulary of the Hadith:
0:44
Al-Hijr is a semi-circular structure
0:48
adjacent to the Levantine and Iraqi corners,
0:51
and it is an integral part of the Ka'bah.
0:54
"Allah unveiled to me"
0:55
means that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made it manifest to His Prophet, peace be upon him,
1:00
parting the veils for him
1:02
and lifting every barrier before his sight.
1:05
"So I began" means: he started to do so.
1:09
"Its features" means its distinct landmarks and characteristics.
1:12
Overall Meaning:
1:17
The Prophet, peace be upon him, clarified
1:20
that when Quraysh accused him of lying regarding the Night Journey (al-Isra'),
1:23
he stood in al-Hijr,
1:25
and Allah laid bare al-Aqsa Mosque before him
1:28
while he was physically in Makkah,
1:29
so that he could describe its signs and hallmarks to them with precision,
1:32
seeing it directly with his own eyes
1:34
while they could not see it.
1:37
This served as firm reinforcement for him,
1:39
a clear proof of the truthfulness of his message,
1:42
and a miraculous hallmark of his prophethood.
1:49
The standing of al-Aqsa Mosque among the disbelievers of Quraysh,
1:52
their familiarity with it, their visits to it,
1:55
and their knowledge of its distinct physical details.
1:57
The unveiling of al-Aqsa Mosque
2:00
constitutes a magnificent, awe-inspiring miracle
2:03
granted to the Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:06
illustrating his profound bond
2:08
and deep-seated devotion
2:09
to the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque.
2:12
Al-Aqsa Mosque
2:13
is a criterion distinguishing the truthful from the mendacious,
2:16
and a solace for every grieved and sorrowful heart.
