The Source of Traditions on Imam al-Riḍā (Vol 2) · Hadith 7 (#Ḥadīth #7)

7 - وَبِهذَا الإِسنادِ قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُعَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: لَمّا اُسْرِىَ بي إِلَى السَّماءِ أَخَذَ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِيَدِي وَأقعدَنِي عَلَى دُرنُوكٍ مِن دَرانيكِ الجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ ناوَلَني سَفَرجَلَةً فَأَنَا أقلِبُها إِذَّا انفَلَقَت فَخَرَجَت مِنْها جارِيَةٌ حَوراء لَمْ أَرَ أَحْسَنَ مِنْها، فَقالاتْ: اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ يا مُحَمَّدُ، فَقُلْتُ مَن أَنْتِ؟ قالَتْ: أَنَا الرَّاضِيَةُ المَرْضِيَّةُ، خَلَقَني الجَبَّارُ مِن ثَلاثَةِ أصنافٍ، أَسفَلي مِن مِسكٍ، وَوَسَطي مِن كافُورٍ، وَأعلايَ مِن عَبيرٍ، وَعَجَنَني مِن ماءِ الحَيوانِ، وَقالَ ليَ الجَبَّارُ: كونِي! فَكُنْتُ، خَلَقَني لأَخيكَ وَابْنِ عَمِّكَ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِي طالِبٍ a.sُ.

31-7 According to the same documentation, God’s Prophet (S) said, “When I was taken up to the heavens on the Night of Ascension, Gabriel took my hand, had me sit on a heavenly rug, and gave me a quince seed - one of those from Heaven. I was playing around with it in my hand when at once a very beautiful houri - I had never seen anyone more beautiful than her - came out of it and said, “O Muhammad! Peace be upon you.” I asked, “Who are you?” She said, “I am the Al-Radhiyya Al-Mardhiyya (pleased and being pleased with). The Almighty created me from three sections: my lower part is made of musk, my middle part is made of camphor, and my top part is made of perfume. I have been molded from the water of life. The Almighty told me, ‘Be!’ and I was. He created me for your brother, your cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib !”
