The Vision of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and The Cursed Tree

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the vision of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) during his journey to the heavens and mentions the cursed tree of Az-Zaqqum.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Regarding: 'And We granted the vision (Ascension to the Heaven "Miraj") which We showed you (O Muhammad as an actual eye witness) but as a trial for mankind'. (17:60) It was an actual eyewitness which was shown to Allah's Messenger during the night he was taken on a journey (through the heavens). And the cursed tree is the tree of Az-Zaqqum (a bitter pungent tree which grows at the bottom of Hell).
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ ‏{‏وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلاَّ فِتْنَةً لِلنَّاسِ‏}‏ قَالَ هِيَ رُؤْيَا عَيْنٍ أُرِيَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ ‏{‏وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ‏}‏ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ‏.‏
