The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is from Ta'if, from Ali al-Bilali Ahmad. He has two questions. In the first, he says: I heard on a tape about the biography of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that on the night of the Isra and Mi'raj, he spoke with Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and that he was close to Him, as close as the two eyebrows are to each other. Is this true, and what is the evidence? May Allah reward you with good and benefit us with your knowledge.
The Shaykh:
As for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) speaking to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), it is established, but it was from behind a veil, as Allah the Exalted said:[Ash-Shuraa 42:51]. A human being. [Ash-Shuraa 42:51], so Allah spoke to His Messenger on the night of the Mi'raj, but from behind a veil (Glorified and Exalted is He). And yes.
The questioner:
He asks: Is there any evidence? He says: Was he as close as the two eyebrows?
The Shaykh:
As for the closeness of the two eyebrows, I do not know of any basis for this. I do not know of any basis for this. However, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was raised with him above the heavens until he stood in a place where he could hear the scratching of the pens.

Which pens?
The Shaykh:
The pens of divine decree and destiny. Yes.
The questioner:
He asks: Is there any evidence for that?
The Shaykh:
This is what we mentioned. Yes.
