The Establishment of the Prophet's Night Journey and Ascension with His Soul and Body

Question:
This questioner (E. A. A.) from Riyadh asks: Was the Night Journey of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his body and soul, or with his soul only? Please guide us on this question?

Answer:
The Night Journey was with both the body and the soul. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken by his body and soul from Mecca to Sham, to Syria, and from there to the sky. He was ascended to the sky until he passed the seven layers, until he passed the seventh heaven, and reached a place where the scratching of the pens is heard. His Lord spoke to him and made the five prayers obligatory upon him .
The point is that he was taken by his soul and body from Mecca to Sham, and then he was ascended from Sham to the sky by his soul and body (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the correct position held by the majority of scholars. The claim that it was by the soul only is an anomalous view, contrary to the noble verse and the authentic hadiths.
