1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَالْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِرَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَبَلَغَ الْبَيْتَ الْمَعْمُورَ وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَأَذَّنَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَأَقَامَ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَصَفَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَالنَّبِيُّونَ خَلْفَ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه).
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah from Zurarah from and al-Fadl who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, has said, ‘When the Messenger of Allah was taken to the heaven upon his arrival in Bayt al-Ma‘mur at the time of Salah (prayer), Jibril (Gabriel) said Adhan and Iqamah. The Messenger of Allah went ahead to lead and the angels and prophets lined up behind Prophet Muhammad for prayer.”’
