To what extent is the hadith describing the story of Al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj authentic, especially in its details such as the Prophet's prayer in multiple places before reaching Jerusalem, the description of the Buraq, his drinking of milk, his passing through Hell, and his encounter with a caravan of Quraysh?

This narration from the Hadith (definition) of the Isra and Mi'raj was reported by Al-Bazzar and Al-Tabarani from Shaddad ibn Aws, and Ibn Kathir cited it in his Tafsir (definition), explaining that its chain of transmission is authentic according to Al-Bayhaqi. However, it contains both authentic and objectionable parts, such as praying in Bethlehem. Furthermore, its chain of transmission has weakness due to Ishaq ibn Ibrahim ibn Al-Alaa Al-Zubaidi, whom Yahya ibn Ma'in considered trustworthy but Al-Nasa'i deemed weak, and Ibn Hajar described him as "truthful but makes many errors."
