99-/6193 _1- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ:بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ،لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ الْقَائِمَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،وَ يَكُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ».

99-/6193: Ibn Bābawayh, with his chain, from al-Husayn ibn Abī al-‘Alā’, from Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him), said: “No servant who recites Surat Banī Isrā’īl every night of Friday will die until he meets the Qā’im (peace be upon him), and he will be among his companions.”

99-/6194 _2- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ،عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ،لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ الْقَائِمَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،وَ يَكُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ».

99-/6194: Al-‘Ayyāshī, from al-Hasan ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Hamzah al-Thummālī, from al-Husayn ibn Abī al-‘Alā’, from Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him), said: “Whoever recites Surat Banī Isrā’īl every night of Friday will not die until he meets the Qā’im (peace be upon him), and he will be among his companions.”

99-/6195 _3- وَ مِنْ(خَوَاصِّ الْقُرْآنِ):رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ وَ رَقَّ قَلْبُهُ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ،كَانَ لَهُ قِنْطَارٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ،وَ الْقِنْطَارُ أَلْفٌ وَ مِائَتَا أُوقِيَّةٍ،وَ الْأُوقِيَّةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا،وَ مَنْ كَتَبَهَا وَ جَعَلَهَا فِي خِرْقَةِ حَرِيرٍ خَضْرَاءَ وَ حَرَزَ عَلَيْهَا وَ رَمَى بِالنِّبَالِ،أَصَابَ وَ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ،وَ إِنْ كَتَبَهَا فِي إِنَاءٍ وَ شَرِبَ مَاءَهَا لَمْ يَتَعَذَّرْ عَلَيْهِ كَلاَمٌ،وَ أُنْطِقَ لِسَانُهُ بِالصَّوَابِ،وَ ازْدَادَ فَهْماً».

99-/6195: And from (Khawāṣṣ al-Qur’ān): It is narrated from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family) that he said: “Whoever recites this surah and his heart softens at the mention of the parents, he will have a qintār in Paradise—and a qintār is one thousand and two hundred uqiyyahs, and one uqiyyah is better than the world and all that is in it. And whoever writes it and places it in a green silk cloth, keeps it as a protection, and shoots arrows, he will hit the mark and not miss. And if he writes it in a vessel and drinks its water, speech will not be difficult for him; his tongue will be made to utter correctly, and his understanding will increase.”

99-/6196 _4- وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «مَنْ كَتَبَهَا فِي خِرْقَةِ حَرِيرٍ خَضْرَاءَ،وَ تَحَرَّزَ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَّقَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَ رَمَى بِالنُّشَّابِ أَصَابَ،وَ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ أَبَداً،وَ إِنْ كَتَبَهَا لِصَغِيرٍ تَعَذَّرَ عَلَيْهِ الْكَلاَمُ،يَكْتُبُهَا بِزَعْفَرَانٍ وَ يُسْقَى مَاءَهَا،أَنْطَقَ اللَّهُ لِسَانَهُ بِإِذْنِهِ وَ تَكَلَّمَ».

99-/6196: And from al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him): “Whoever writes it in a green silk cloth, keeps it for protection, attaches it to himself, and shoots arrows will hit the mark and never miss. And if it is written for a child who finds speech difficult, it is written in saffron and he is given its water to drink—Allah, by His permission, will make his tongue speak and he will talk.”

قوله تعالى:

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سُبْحٰانَ الَّذِي أَسْرىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلاً مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرٰامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بٰارَكْنٰا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيٰاتِنٰا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ [1]

(Qur’an 17:1 — M. H. Shakir) Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

99-/6197 _1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَكَى أَبِي،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ،عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «جَاءَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ إِسْرَافِيلُ بِالْبُرَاقِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،فَأَخَذَ وَاحِدٌ بِاللِّجَامِ وَ وَاحِدٌ بِالرِّكَابِ،وَ سَوَّى الْآخَرُ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابَهُ،فَتَضَعْضَعَتِ الْبُرَاقُ فَلَطَمَهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا:اُسْكُنِي يَا بُرَاقُ،فَمَا رَكِبَكِ نَبِيٌّ قَبْلَهُ،وَ لاَ يَرْكَبُكِ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلُهُ-قَالَ-فَرَقَّتْ بِهِ وَ رَفَعَتْهُ ارْتِفَاعاً لَيْسَ بِالْكَثِيرِ،وَ مَعَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)يُرِيهِ الْآيَاتِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ.

قَالَ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ):فَبَيْنَا أَنَا فِي مَسِيرِي،إِذْ نَادَى مُنَادٍ عَنْ يَمِينِي:يَا مُحَمَّدُ.فَلَمْ أُجِبْهُ،وَ لَمْ أَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ،ثُمَّ نَادَى مُنَادٍ عَنْ يَسَارِي:يَا مُحَمَّدُ.فَلَمْ أُجِبْهُ،وَ لَمْ أَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ،ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ كَاشِفَةٌ عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْهَا،وَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زِينَةِ الدُّنْيَا،فَقَالَتْ:يَا مُحَمَّدُ،انْظُرْنِي حَتَّى أُكَلِّمَكَ.فَلَمْ أَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهَا،ثُمَّ سِرْتُ فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً أَفْزَعَنِي،فَجَاوَزْتُ، فَنَزَلَ بِي جَبْرَئِيلُ،فَقَالَ:صَلِّ.فَنَزَلْتُ وَ صَلَّيْتُ.فَقَالَ لِي:أَ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ صَلَّيْتَ؟فَقُلْتُ:لاَ.فَقَالَ:صَلَّيْتَ بِطَيْبَةَ،وَ إِلَيْهَا مُهَاجَرَتُكَ.ثُمَّ رَكِبْتُ فَمَضَيْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ،ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي:اِنْزِلْ وَ صَلِّ.فَنَزَلْتُ وَ صَلَّيْتُ،فَقَالَ لِي:أَ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ صَلَّيْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ:لاَ.فَقَالَ:صَلَّيْتَ بِطُورِ سَيْنَاءَ،حَيْثُ كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ مُوسَى تَكْلِيماً.ثُمَّ رَكِبْتُ فَمَضَيْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ،ثُمَّ قَالَ:اِنْزِلْ فَصَلِّ.

فَنَزَلْتُ وَ صَلَّيْتُ.فَقَالَ لِي:أَ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ صَلَّيْتَ؟فَقُلْتُ:لاَ.فَقَالَ:صَلَّيْتَ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ.وَ بَيْتُ لَحْمٍ بِنَاحِيَةِ بَيْتِ

99-/6197: ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm said: My father related, from Muḥammad ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Hishām ibn Sālim, from Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him), who said: “Gabriel, Michael, and Isrāfīl came with the Burāq to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family). One took hold of the bridle, one of the stirrup, and the other adjusted his clothes upon him. The Burāq trembled, so Gabriel (peace be upon him) struck it, then said to it: ‘Be still, O Burāq! No prophet before him has ridden you, and none like him will ride you after him.’ It then broke into a soft gait with him and raised him to a height that was not excessive, while Gabriel (peace be upon him) was with him, showing him the signs of the heavens and the earth.

He (may Allah bless him and his family) said: While I was on my way, a caller called out from my right, ‘O Muḥammad!’ I did not answer him nor turn toward him. Then a caller called out from my left, ‘O Muḥammad!’ I did not answer him nor turn toward him. Then a woman confronted me, with her forearms uncovered and upon her were all the adornments of the world. She said, ‘O Muḥammad, look at me so that I may speak to you.’ I did not turn toward her. Then I went on and heard a sound that frightened me, so I went past it. Gabriel came down with me and said, ‘Pray.’ So I dismounted and prayed. He said to me, ‘Do you know where you prayed?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘You prayed at Ṭaybah, and to it will be your migration.’ Then I mounted and we went on as Allah willed. Then he said to me, ‘Dismount and pray.’ So I dismounted and prayed. He said to me, ‘Do you know where you prayed?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘You prayed at Ṭūr Sīnā’, where Allah spoke to Mūsā in direct speech.’ Then I mounted and we went on as Allah willed. Then he said, ‘Dismount and pray.’

So I dismounted and prayed. He said to me, ‘Do you know where you prayed?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘You prayed in Bayt Laḥm (Bethlehem). And Bayt Laḥm is in the vicinity of Bayt—’”
