This unnamed man of the Quraysh heard the Prophet ﷺ announce, on the morning after al-Isra, that he had traveled to Bayt al-Maqdis and prayed there in a single night. Before the Prophet ﷺ could tell Abu Bakr RA himself, the man ran to him and said, "Do you know what your companion has just said? He claims to have gone all the way to Jerusalem and back: two months' journey in one night!" Abu Bakr answered, "If he said that, then it must be true." The man asked in disbelief, "Do you believe him in such a claim?!" Abu Bakr replied that he believed him in something even more amazing: that revelation came to him from above the seven heavens in an instant.
