Otherwise he could not have attributed this "tradition" to Aisha.

Otherwise he could not have attributed this "tradition" to Aisha. And, Moavia was such an enemy of the Holy Prophet that when 8 years after Hijrat Mecca was entered into without bloodshed and Abu Sufyan (father of Moavia) seeing no alternative, accepted Islam, Moavia fled to Bahrain and wrote a nasty letter to his father condemning him on his acceptance of Islam. It was not till 9th year of Hijrat that he brought himself to profess Islam. And Miraaj was 10 or 12 years before that time.

How could he know what were its facts ? He does not mention his source of information, and the inference is that there was no such source. If you want to see how politics controlled the Islam of Umayyads, see one more "tradition" invented in their factory. The King on Damascus throne is Abdul-Malik bin Marwan. Iraq and Hijaz are in the hands of Abdullah bin Zubair. Abdul Malik does not like the idea of the pilgrims of his domain being obliged to go to Mecca (which is in his enemy's hands).

So, he wants to enhance the prestige of Baitul Muqaddas which is in his domain and plans to establish "Hajj" at Baitul Muqaddas. As a part of that plan, all previous declarations that the Miraaj was a dream were forgotten and a tradition was forged that the final destination of the journey of Miraaj was Baitul Muqaddas. Soon after that Abdullah bin Zubair was defeated and Hejaz came under Syria. Otherwise, we would surely have seen two centres of Hajj in Muslim world.

The Christians revived the "traditions" of Aisha and Moavia. See, for example, the translation of the Holy Qur'an by Rev. Rodwell. Here the interest of the Ahmadis coincided with that of the Christians, because, it was to their advantage to deny that anybody could go to heavens. Therefore, they also repeatedly mention these two "traditions" without knowing that these so called traditions have no basis at all. Anyhow, let us see why our Holy Prophet was given that miracle.

Every prophet was given a miracle concerning those very things which were highly advanced in his time. Witchcraft was prevalent in the days of Prophet Musa, therefore, he was given the miracles of his walking stick, and brightening hand.
