A longer version of this hadith is reported from Mu‘adh ibn Jabal from the Prophet: ‘I became drowsy and fell into a deep sleep, and I saw my Lord in the finest form.’ Mu‘adh then reported: One morning the Messenger of Allah was delayed from coming to lead the dawn prayer until we nearly saw the sun’s edge. He came out quickly, the call to begin the prayer was made, and he led a shortened prayer. After the salutation, he called out, ‘Remain in your rows as you are.’ He turned toward us and said, ‘I will tell you what kept me from you this morning. I got up during the night, performed ablution, and prayed as much as was decreed for me. I became drowsy in my prayer and fell into a deep sleep. Then I saw my Lord, Blessed and Exalted, in the finest form. He said, “Muhammad!” I said, “At Your service, my Lord.” He asked, “What is the highest assembly disputing about?” I said, “I do not know, my Lord.” He asked me three times. Then I saw Him place His palm between my shoulders, and I felt the coolness of His fingertips between my breasts. Everything became clear to me, and I knew. He said, “Muhammad!” I said, “At Your service, my Lord.” He asked, “What is the highest assembly disputing about?” I said, “The acts that expiate.” He asked, “What are they?” I said, “Walking to congregational prayers, sitting in mosques after the prayers, and performing ablution thoroughly despite hardship.” He asked, “And what else?” I said, “Feeding people, speaking gently, and praying at night while people sleep.” He said, “Ask.” I said, “O Allah, I ask You to enable me to do good deeds, leave wrong actions, love the poor, forgive me, and have mercy on me. If You intend to put a people to trial, take me to Yourself without being tried. I ask You for Your love, the love of those who love You, and the love of deeds that bring one near to Your love.”’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘This is true, so study it and learn it.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. I asked Muhammad ibn Isma‘il [al-Bukhari] about it, and he said: ‘This is a hasan sahih hadith, and it is more authentic than the report of al-Walid ibn Muslim from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid ibn Jabir. Al-Walid says: Khalid ibn al-Lajlaj related to me, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘A’ish al-Hadrami, who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah,” and then he mentioned the hadith. This version is not preserved. Al-Walid’s report thus states that ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘A’ish said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah.” Bishr ibn Bakr narrated this hadith from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid ibn Jabir with this chain, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘A’ish, from the Prophet, and this is more accurate. ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘A’ish did not hear directly from the Prophet.’

Preserved the full morning-prayer context and supplication, along with the alternate route analysis. The compiler reports al-Bukhari’s judgment that the version claiming direct hearing by ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘A’ish is unpreserved, while the route through Bishr ibn Bakr is more accurate; ‘Abd al-Rahman did not hear directly from the Prophet.
