Did the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) pray with all the messengers and prophets on the night of the Isra (Night Journey)?
The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, led all the prophets in prayer on the night of the Isra (Night Journey), acting as their Imam. This is mentioned in the long Hadith of the Isra: "Then Adam and all those prophets after him were raised for him, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, led them in prayer that night." In another Hadith: "When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, entered Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, he stood to pray. Then he turned, and behold, all the prophets were praying with him."
There is no difference whether he led all the prophets or only the messengers in prayer, for he is the Imam of the former and the latter, and the best of creation. The number of prophets is one hundred and twenty-four thousand, and among them are three hundred and fifteen messengers, not twenty-five thousand.
