The next morning he went to the Kâ’ba and related his Mi’râj. Hearing this, the disbelievers scoffed at him. “Muhammad’s gone crazy for good,” they said. And the ones who had been thinking of becoming Muslims gave up. Some of them, amused, went to Abû Bakr’s house. They knew he was a clever, experienced and calculating merchant. As soon as he came to the door, they asked him: “O Abâ Bakr ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’anh’! You went to Jerusalem many times. You must know well. How long does it take to go from Mekka to Jerusalem?” Hadrat Abû Bakr ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’anh’ said: “I know well that it takes more than a month.” The disbelievers were pleased with this reply and said: “So will a wise and experienced man say.” Laughing, mocking, being happy because Abû Bakr ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’anh’ was of the same opinion as they were, they said: “Your master says that he went to and came back from Jerusalem in a night. He is completely mad now,” and showed their sympathy, reverence and trust for Abû Bakr. Upon hearing the blessed name of Rasûlullah, Abû Bakr ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’ said: “If he says so I believe him. He for sure went and came back in a moment,” and went back in. The disbelievers were all stupefied. Hanging their heads, they walked away, saying: “How amazing! What a strong sorcerer Muhammad is! He bewitched Abû Bakr.” Clothing himself immediately, Abû Bakr ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’ went to Rasûlullah. In the big crowd he said aloud, “O Rasûlallah! I congratulate you, your blessed Mi’râj! Infinite gratitude be to Allâhu ta’âlâ because He has honoured us with being the servants of such an exalted Prophet as you are. He has blessed us with seeing your shining face, with hearing your sweet words that please hearts and attract souls. O Rasûlallah ‘sall- Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’! Every word you say is true. I believe you. I am ready to sacrifice my life for you!” These words of Abû Bakr’s bewildered the disbelievers. Being at a loss as to what to say, they dispersed. This strengthened the hearts of a few people with weak îmân who had been doubting. That day Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ called Abû Bakr “Siddîq.” Being given this name, he was promoted to a higher grade. – 304 –
All this exasperated the unbelievers. They could not bear the Believers’ firm îmân, their believing right away whatever he said, their gathering around him and protecting him. In order to rout and disgrace Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’, they attempted to test him. “O Muhammad ‘’alaihissalâm’! You claim to have gone to Jerusalem. Tell us now! How many doors and how many windows does the masjid have?” were some of their questions. As the Prophet answered each, Hadrat Abû Bakr said, “Right, O Rasûlallah! It is true, O Rasûlallah!” But in actual fact, out of his embarrassment, Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ would not even look at a person in the face. Afterwards, he stated: “I had not looked around in the Masjid-i aqsâ. I had not seen what they asked about. At that moment Jabrâil ‘’alaihissalâm’ brought Masjid-i aqsâ before my eyes. [Like watching television], I saw, counted, and answered their questions at once.” He said that he had seen travellers riding camels on his way and that he hoped, inshâallah, that they would arrive on Wednesday. On Wednesday, just before sunset, the caravan arrived in Mekka. They said that something had happened like the blowing of the wind and that a camel had fallen down. This situation strengthened the Believers’ îmân but aggravated the unbelievers’ enmity. The book entitled Rûh-ul-bayân, quoting from the book entitled Tafsîr-i Husaynî, and the book entitled Bahr, in the section dealing with imâmat, say: “A person who does not believe that Rasûlullah was taken from the city of Mekka to Jerusalem [to Beyt-ul muqaddes] will be a disbeliever. One who does not believe that he was taken to the heavens and to unknown places will be dâl and mubtadi’. ” That is, he will be a heretic. 8 — RAJAB MONTH AND NIGHT OF RAGHÂIB: First Friday night of the month of Rajab is called Night of Raghâib. Every night of Rajab is already valuable. Every Friday night is valuable, too. When these two valuable nights come together, they become all the more valuable. The value of the night of Raghâib is stated in various hadîth-i-sherîfs. Rajab had been valuable since the time of Hadrat Adam. It had been a sin to war in this month. The month had been respected by all ummats. Rajab means majestic, great, honoured, valuable. It is written in the Persian book entitled Anîsulwâ’izîn: “During the time of Hadrat ’Îsâ, a youngster fell in love with a lovely girl. He was mad with desire to have her. A long time later – 305 –
