قَالَتِ الصَّخْرَةُ إِنَّ الَّذِي مَكَّنَكَ فِي جَوْفِي وَ أَوْصَلَ إِلَيْكَ الرَّوْحَ مِنَ الثُّقْبَةِ الَّتِي أَحْدَثَهَا فِيَّ هُوَ الَّذِي يُوصِلُكَ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ وَ يُنْقِذُكَ مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ The rock said, ‘The One -azwj Who enables you from my inside, and Transmitted to you the air from aperture which it bore into me – He -azwj is the One -azwj Who would Transport you to the Prophet -saww of Allah -azwj , Saving you from the enemies of Allah -azwj ’.
فَنَهَضَ حُذَيْفَةُ لِيَخْرُجَ وَ انْفَرَجَتِ الصَّخْرَةُ فَحَوَّلَهُ اللَّهُ طَائِراً فَطَارَ فِي الْهَوَاءِ مُحَلِّقاً حَتَّى انْقَضَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ أُعِيدَ إِلَى صُورَتِهِ فَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِمَا رَأَى وَ سَمِعَ Huzeyfa got up to exit, and the rock cleft asunder and Allah -azwj Transformed him into a bird, and it flew in the air, flying until it swooped in front of Rasool-Allah -saww .
Then he returned upon his (original) image, and informed Rasool-Allah -saww with what he had seen and heard.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ وَ عَرَفْتَهُمْ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانُوا مُتَلَثِّمِينَ وَ كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ بِجِمَالِهِمْ فَلَمَّا فَتَّشُوا الْمَوْضِعَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا أَحَداً أَحْدَرُوا اللِّثَامَ فَرَأَيْتُ وُجُوهَهُمْ فَعَرَفْتُهُمْ بِأَعْيَانِهِمْ وَ أَسْمَائِهِمْ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ حَتَّى عَدَّ أَرْبَعَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘And did you recognise them by their faces?’ He said, ‘They were veiled, and I was recognising them by their camels.
So when they investigated the place, and they could not find anyone, they let down their veils, and I saw their faces and recognised them with my eyes – and their names are so and so, and so and so’ – until he counted twenty-four.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا حُذَيْفَةُ إِذَا كَانَ اللَّهُ يُثَبِّتُ مُحَمَّداً لَمْ يَقْدِرْ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ لَا الْخَلْقُ أَجْمَعُونَ أَنْ يُزِيلُوهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بَالِغٌ فِي مُحَمَّدٍ أَمْرَهُ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْكافِرُونَ Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘O Huzeyfa! When it was so that Allah -azwj the Exalted Affirms Muhammad -saww , neither they nor the creatures altogether would not be able to move him ‑saww .
Allah -azwj the Exalted will Make the matter of Muhammad -saww reach its accomplishment, and even if the Kafirs dislike it’.
