How the scholars invoke Al-Ghanī.

  1. "In this month, he was sent as a prophet, ascended to the heavens, migrated, and passed away. There is a break in the narration. The esteemed scholar, Abd al-Ghani ibn Surur al-Maqdisi, chose this in his biography and mentioned a hadith with an unreliable chain, stating that the Isra occurred on the twenty-seventh night of Rajab. Allah knows best."
