Riyad as-Salihin 874 (Book 5, Hadith 31) #37363
Journey to the Seven Heavens with Jibril

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Prophet Muhammad's journey to the seven heavens with Jibril (Gabriel).

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported in the course of his famous Hadith pertaining to Al-Isra' (the Ascension) that Messenger of Allah said, "Then Jibril (Gabriel) ascended along with me to the nearest heaven and requested for the gate to be opened. He was asked: 'Who is there?' He replied: 'Jibril'. He was asked: 'Who is with you?' He said: 'Muhammad'. Then he ascended to the second heaven and requested for the opening of the gate. He was asked: 'Who is there?' He said: 'Jibril'. He was asked: 'Who is with you?' He replied: 'Muhammad'. In the same way he ascended to the third, fourth and all the heavens (ie, until the seventh). At all of the gates he was asked: 'Who is there?' He replied: Jibril'.'' Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
