that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ had decreased five Salahs. Sayyiduna Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام said: Your Ummah even will not be able to offer these Salahs; go to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and request Him to decrease further. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: I kept on coming to (Sayyiduna) Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام and going to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ (i.e. every time Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ decreased some number of Salahs, despite this (Sayyiduna) Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام kept on sending me to     Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ to get Salah decreased further) until [when only five Salahs were left] Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said: O Muhammad (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)! These are five Salahs for a day and night and every Salah will have 10 times more reward, (therefore as per reward) these five Salahs are equal to fifty Salahs. (Further favour of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is that), the person who intends to perform good deed and is unable to do it, so for him (just for his good intention) one virtue will be written and if he performs that good deed, so ten virtuous deeds will be written for him and if someone intends to commit bad deed, and does not commit that bad deed, so no sin will be written in his Book of Deeds (for the crime of bad intention). However, if he commits the bad deed, then one sin will be written.

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then said: I then reached (Sayyiduna) Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام and informed him of these commands. He stated the same thing this time as well i.e. go to your Rab and request Him to decrease further. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: I said to (Sayyiduna) Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام: I have been to my Rab (for getting number of Salah decreased) so many times that now I feel shy (to go for this).

Mentioning the first part of Mi’raaj journey of His Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, in part 15 of the Holy Quran, Ayah 1 of Surah Bani Israel, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated:

سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْۤ اَسْرٰى بِعَبْدِهٖ لَیْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْاَقْصَا

 Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Purity is to Him Who took His bondman in a part of the night from the Sacred mosque to the Aqsa mosque.
