Question: May Allaah reward you with goodness. He says: Noble Shaykh, some people of doubt raise an objection regarding the hadeeth of al-Israa (the night journey). They ask:
So what is the answer, and what is the [correct] methodology for receiving [such a] doubt and responding to it? May Allaah reward you with goodness.
Response: I advise you to put your mind at ease from [any thought of] refuting this doubt until you read what the scholars have written on this subject.
The Prophet ﷺ informed us that he prayed with the Prophets; [and] we know they are deceased.
Is Allaah not capable of bringing their souls [so they could pray together]?
Each person should consider the possible explanations. Is it better for them to say, ‘This is a lie’?
Do they accuse of lying the one who said this, or those Sahaabah who narrated the hadeeth, and the Taabi’oon and those who came after them – generation after generation – were they all mistaken, and then Allaah brought someone in this age to realise what they did not notice?
A student of knowledge should not be overly impressed with his own opinion; rather, he should present his views to the people of knowledge, refer to the words of the scholars, and examine what they say.
