Rāfiʿ ibn ʿAmr al-Muzanī reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, ‘The ʿajwah date and the rock are from Paradise.’ ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said, ‘I retained the word “rock” from his own mouth.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report names al-ṣakhrah (‘the rock’) without explaining which rock is meant.
The final statement is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān’s note that he personally retained this word from the Prophet’s ﷺ wording.
قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ " الْعَجْوَةُ وَالصَّخْرَةُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ " .
Al-ṣakhrah means ‘the rock,’ but the report does not identify a particular rock or explain its connection to Paradise.
Which rock is meant by al-ṣakhrah in this statement?
