Text: فأوحى إلى عبده ما أوحى ما كذب الفؤاد ما رأى أفتمارونه على ما يرى ولقد رآه نزلة أخرى عند سدرة المنتهى عندها جنة المأوى إذ يغشى السدرة ما يغشى ما زاغ البصر و ما طغى لقد رآي من آيات ربه الكبرى (So he revealed to His servant what he revealed. The heart did not lie about what it saw. Then will you dispute with him about what he saw? And he certainly saw him in another descent, at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, near which is the Garden of Refuge, when there covered the Lote Tree that which covered it. The sight did not swerve, nor did it transgress. He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.)
