Some additional stories attached to the Ascension are not supplied with independently decisive proof in the essential doctrinal discussion. Such details should be evaluated separately from the Qur’anic Night Journey, the widely reported ascent, and particular individual reports.
An extraordinary scene or dialogue should not be attributed with certainty to the Prophet ﷺ without adequate transmission. Conversely, the weakness of an unsupported story does not disprove the basic event.
Careful attribution and preserving the established doctrine are complementary intellectual responsibilities.
