حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَی عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَی فَأَوْحَی إِلَی عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَی فَکَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَی قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَدْ رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3280
Narrated Abu Salamah: from Ibn 'Abbas regarding Allah's saying: And indeed he saw him at a second descent. Near Sidrat Al-Muntaha (53:13 & 14). So He revealed to His worshiper whatever he revealed (53:10). And was a distance of two bow lengths or less (53:9). Ibn 'Abbas said: The Prophet (ﷺ) saw Him.
