Them in prayer and prayed with them. Then he was brought two vessels, in one of which was wine and in the other milk. (He said:) The Rasul Allah, God’s peace and blessings on him, took the vessel of milk and drank from it, leaving aside the vessel of wine. (He said:) So Jibril said to him: “You have been given guidance through innate disposition ({fitra) and your community has been given guidance, and wine has been forbidden to you.”
At this point, Ibn Hisham recounts the skepticism of Muhammad’s followers in Mecca and the controversy roused by his claim to have gone to the “house of sanctity” in Jerusalem ina single night’s journey.” This particular account ends with the belief in the night journey interpreted as a test of the faith of the new community:
(Al-Hasan said:) “‘As for those who went back on Islam because of that (their skepticism about Muhammad’s claim of a night journey], Allah sent down the verse (13:62): “We made the vision we showed you only as a test (ita) for people and the cursed tree in the Qur’an and we frighten them but it only increases them in their most grievous error.” This is the hadith of al- Hasan on the night journey of the Envoy of God, peace and blessings on him, with some additions by Qatida.
