5th Answer: At this point, we ask the objectors that if the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) hadn’t mentioned the details of the Ascension, then who else told the Ummah about them?
Obviously, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) Himself gave the details of this journey to the Ummah. There are countless Hadith about the Ascension in the books of Hadith and biographies. Some are brief and some are more detailed, which shows that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) did mention the journey of Meraj at various places on various occasions.
When the Law-Giver (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) Himself mentioned this in such a manner, then no one can term describing the Ascension as an innovation. It is in fact, a Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and no Muslim can even think of stopping another Muslim from following the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).
