Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) lead the prophets in prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque as spirits only, or with their spirits and bodies, during the journey of Al-Isra'?
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met the prophets and led them in prayer on the night of Al-Isra wal-Mi'raj, and authentic hadiths have attested to this. In a narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And I saw myself among a group of prophets. And behold, Musa (Moses) was standing in prayer, a man with a strong build, curly-haired, as if he were one of the men of Shanu'ah. And behold, Isa (Jesus) son of Mary (peace be upon him) was standing in prayer, the one who resembled him most closely was 'Urwah ibn Mas'ud Ath-Thaqafi. And behold, Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace be upon him) was standing in prayer, the one who resembled him most closely was your companion – meaning himself. Then it was time for prayer, so I led them. When I finished the prayer, a speaker said: 'O Muhammad, this is Malik, the guardian of Hellfire, greet him.' So I turned to him, and he initiated the greeting to me."
