"And We made not the vision which we showed you (O Muhammad as an actual eye witness and not as a dream on the night of Al-Isrā") but a trial for mankind" (al-Isra" 17:60), that he said: It is something that the Prophet (ﷺ) saw with his own eyes on the night on which he was taken on the Night Journey (Isra").
