Hadith #4716
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ {وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلاَّ فِتْنَةً لِلنَّاسِ} قَالَ هِيَ رُؤْيَا عَيْنٍ أُرِيَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ {وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ} شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ.
Regarding: 'And We granted the vision (Ascension to the Heaven "Miraj") which We showed you (O
Muhammad as an actual eye witness) but as a trial for mankind.' (17.60) It was an actual eyewitness
which was shown to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) during the night he was taken on a journey (through the
heavens). And the cursed tree is the tree of Az-Zaqqum (a bitter pungent tree which grows at the
bottom of Hell).
