We have not come across this report with any isnad, whether it be sahih (sound), da‘if (weak) or makdhub (fabricated). Moreover, it is contrary to what has been proven of the story of the Prophet’s Mi‘raj (ascent to heaven). In as-Sahihayn it is narrated that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, addressed His Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) by his name, which is Muhammad, not by the word “al-yateem (orphan).”

Deep breathing and audible breathing do not mean that the heart cannot be awake, and they are not contrary to the perfect state and appearance of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). They do not come under the heading of snoring, which comes from the nose.

There is no text which states the language in which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) spoke with his fellow prophets on the night of the Isra’ and Mi‘raj. This matter is not something with which the Muslim should concern himself, because no actions result from knowing that. But if the Isra’ and Mi‘raj, and the gathering of all the prophets to pray together in al-Masjid al-Aqsa, was a great miracle, then their coming together to pray in a single language cannot be any greater or more miraculous than that. However, what appears to be the case is that the language that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) spoke with the other prophets on the night of the Isra’ and Mi‘raj was Arabic.
