Resurrection and ascent to heaven

Ibn Shahin al-Zahiri, al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat

A rare account: It is related that one of the righteous said: I saw in a dream as though the Resurrection had come to pass, so I rose from my grave and a riding beast was brought to me and I mounted it. Then I was made to ascend to heaven, and there was a garden in it, so I wanted to descend, but it was said: You are to remain seated until you see your Lord. So they carried me on, and there was Allah, blessed and exalted, and Adam, peace be upon him, standing before Him. When He saw me, He seated me on His right, and I said: O Lord, I have attained success through Your pardon. Then I heard a caller saying: Rise, O Adam, for We have pardoned you.
