Question:
What is the meaning of the statement of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Isra 17:60]?
Answer:
It means: the polytheists who denied him said: How did he see such and such? And he said: I saw Paradise, I saw the Fire, and I saw Jibril in such and such a form?! In the Mi'raj and the Isra, he saw such and such in Bayt al-Maqdis, so many people denied it and were tried because of that. We ask Allah for safety: [Surat al-Najm:18].

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
