Book Name:Miraaj kay Waqiaat

Then [as per the glory of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم] further wisdom, faith and the luminosity of Prophethood were filled in it and then it was       put back in the blessed chest and was sewn with a needle. Islamic scholars رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی have said that opening of the chest occurred four times in the blessed life of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; the opening of chest that occurred in the night of Mi’raaj was the fourth one. First time, it occurred at the time of his blessed birth, second time, when he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was 10 years old and third time, on the occasion of the first revelation of the Holy Quran in cave Hira. (Seerah Sayyid-ul-Ambiya, pp. 127)

Riding animal of Mi’raaj’s bridegroom

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Maalik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved Rasool   صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Buraaq (whose name was Jarood), a tall and extremely white quadruped [four-footed animal] bigger than the donkey, but smaller than the mule, was brought to me. It would step as far as it could see. I mounted it and reached Bayt-ul-Muqaddas and the place where the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام would tether their riding animals I tethered it. I then entered Masjid-ul-Aqsa and offered two Rak’aat Salah in it.

(Sahih Muslim, Kitab-ul-Iman, pp. 97, Hadees 259)

Led Salah of blessed Ambiya

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was the Imam of all the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام in this Salah[1] because all the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام,  were gathered in Bayt-ul-Muqaddas[2] to show the greater glory of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. When he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came here, all the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام welcomed him. They all requested him to lead the Salah at the time of Salah. Sayyiduna Jibra`eel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام then held his blessed hand and requested him to move forward and then he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم led the Salah of all the Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat lit-Tabarani, vol. 3, pp. 65, Hadees 3879)
