How sound and interpreted is the Hadith: "This night my Lord, the Blessed and Most High, came to me in the best form..."?
God Almighty came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream, and placed His hand between his shoulders until he felt its coolness between his breasts, whereupon he knew what was in the heavens and what was on earth. The "Highest Concourse" refers to the close angels, and their disputing is their discussion about the excellence of deeds. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, explained that they dispute concerning expiations and degrees.
The expiations are: 1. Staying in mosques. 2. Performing ablution thoroughly in disliked circumstances.
The degrees are: 1. Spreading greetings (peace). 2. Feeding the hungry. 3. Praying at night while people are asleep.
Whoever does that lives well and dies, and whoever’s deeds are these, will be free from sin as on the day his mother bore him. "Good deeds" are the praiseworthy words and actions brought by the , and "evil deeds" are the bad words and actions that the Sharia has denounced. The meaning of "If You intend a trial for Your servants, then take me without being afflicted" means: "Take my soul without me being punished." The is authentic, as mentioned by Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Bukhari, and Al-Albani.
