حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ عَنْ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِدْرَةَ الْمُنْتَهَی قَالَ انْتَهَی إِلَيْهَا مَا يَعْرُجُ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنْ فَوْقٍ قَالَ فَأَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ عِنْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا لَمْ يُعْطِهِنَّ نَبِيًّا کَانَ قَبْلَهُ فُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ خَمْسًا وَأُعْطِيَ خَوَاتِيمَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَغُفِرَ لِأُمَّتِهِ الْمُقْحِمَاتُ مَا لَمْ يُشْرِکُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِذْ يَغْشَی السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَی قَالَ السِّدْرَةُ فِي السَّمَائِ السَّادِسَةِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَرَاشٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَأَشَارَ سُفْيَانُ بِيَدِهِ فَأَرْعَدَهَا و قَالَ غَيْرُ مَالِکِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ إِلَيْهَا يَنْتَهِي عِلْمُ الْخَلْقِ لَا عِلْمَ لَهُمْ بِمَا فَوْقَ ذَلِکَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3276
Narrated ['Abdullah] bin Mas'ud: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reached Sidrat Al-Muntaha He said: 'There terminates everything that ascends from the earth, and everything that descends from above. So there Allah gave him three, which He did not give to any Prophet before him: He made fiver prayers obligatory upon him, He gave him the last Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah, and He pardoned the grave sins for those of his Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah.' Ibn Mas'ud said regarding the Ayah: When that covered the Sidrah which did cover it! (53:16) he said: The sixth Sidrah in heavens. Sufyan said: Golden butterflies and Sufyan indicated with his hand in a fluttering motion. Others besides Malik bin Mighwal said: There terminates the creatures' knowledge, there is no knowledge for them of what is above that.
