Whatever path Prophet Mohammed -saww walked on even after two or three days one could still notice his passing thereby due to his -saww fragrance that remained along the path. On Prophet Mohammed -saww ‘s passing by, out of respect, every stone and tree did ‘Sajada’ (prostrated /bowed) before him -saww .

[9] Imam Jafar e Sadiq -asws has said, ‘Once Hazrat Jibril -as came to the Holy Prophet -saww and said, “O Mohammed -saww , Allah -azwj Offers you ‘Salam’ (greetings of peace) and Says, ‘I have Prohibited the fire to harm your parents and the people whose laps provided you protection and guardianship.

The father is ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib -asws and the woman who brought you to the world is ‘Amina -asws , daughter of Wahab, and the people whose laps provided you protection and guardianship are Hazrat Abu Talib -asws ibn Abdul Muttalib -asws and Fatimah -asws daughter of Asad -asws . [10] Once, Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws (our 5 th Imam -asws ) was asked: ‘How many times was the Rasool Allah -saww taken for ‘Miraj’ (The ascension- when he rose to the Heavens) [11] ?

The Imam -asws said, ‘It happened twice. Hazrat Jibril -as asked him -saww to stop at a place saying wait right there, O Mohammed -saww , you -saww have stood at a place where no angel -as or Prophet -as has ever stood before you -saww .

“: The Holy Prophet -saww then said, ‘O Allah -azwj , I -saww beg forgiveness from You -azwj , I -saww beg forgiveness from You -azwj (on behalf of my -saww followers).’ The Imam -asws said, ‘They were as close, as Allah -azwj has Said, ” … as the distance of two bows, or even less.” (53:9) Abu Basir then asked, ‘May Allah -azwj keep my soul in service for your -asws cause, what is ” … the distance of two bows, or even less?” (53:9) The Imam -asws said, ‘It is the distance of the radius of the bow.’ The Imam -asws then said, ‘Between the two there was a barrier (curtain) that shone.’ I (narrator) only know it was made of Zabarjad (Beryl, chrysotile).

He (the Holy Prophet -saww ) looked into the Noor of Greatness through the size of a needle’s eye or so, as this is what Allah -azwj Willed.
