replied: ‘لَئِنۡ قَالَ ذٰلِكَ لَقَدۡ صَدَقَ’ i.e. It is definitely true if the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated it.

They said: ‘اَوَ تُصَدِّقُهُ اَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ اللَّيۡلَةَ اِلٰى بَيۡتِ الۡمَقۡدَس وَ جَاءَ قَبۡلَ اَنۡ يُصۡبِحَ؟’ i.e. Do you also testify to this surprising thing as well that he (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) went to Bayt-ul-Muqaddas last night and returned prior to the morning? He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: ‘نَعَمۡ! اِنِّيۡ لَاُصَدِّقُهُ فِيۡمَا هُوَ اَبۡعَدُ مِنۡ ذٰلِكَ اُصَدِّقُهُ بِخَبۡرِ السَّمَاءِ فِيۡ غَدۡوَةٍ اَوۡ رَوۡحَةٍ’ Yes! I also testify the heavenly news of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the morning and evening. Certainly, those things are more surprising and astounding than this one. Thus Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ became famous as ‘Siddeeq’ afterwards. (Al-Mustadrak, vol. 4, pp. 25, Hadis 4515)

Some hypocrites started raising different types of questions in order to reject this great miracle, for example:

It is stated in a blessed Hadis that the Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘قُرَيۡشٌ تَسۡاَلُنِي عَنۡ مَسۡرَايَ’ Quraysh were asking questions about my Mi’raaj Journey. ‘فَسَاَلَتۡنِي عَنۡ اَشۡيَاءَ مِنۡ بَيۡتِ الۡمَقۡدَسِ لَمۡ اُثۡبِتۡهَا’ they asked me questions about those things of Bayt-ul-Muqaddas, which (due to being unnecessary) I did not remember. ‘فَكُرِبۡتُ كُرۡبَةً مَا كُرِبۡتُ مِثۡلَهُ قَطُّ’ I was, due to this, so much sad that I had never been so much sad before. ‘فَرَفَعَهُ اللّٰهُ لِي اَنۡظُرُ اِلَيۡهِ مَا يَسۡاَلُونِي عَنۡ شَيۡءٍ اِلَّا اَنۡبَاۡتُهُمۡ بِه’ so Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ raised Bayt-ul-Muqaddas for me and I started looking at it, therefore I kept telling them about what Quraysh was asking me. (Sahih Muslim, Kitab-ul-Imaan, pp. 106, Hadis 278)

About the questions of polytheists of Makkah, Hakeem-ul-Ummat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْـحَـنَّان has stated that those questions were useless. For example, how many pillars and steps are there of Bayt-ul-Muqaddas? Where is the pulpit? It is quite obvious that such things cannot be memorized instead of seeing many times so how is it possible to remember them after seeing them once? Unbelievers said that whatever you are talking about
