631 Chapter 31 be the leader of all the women of Jannah?" In one Hadith, he said to her: "You are the leader of all the women of this world, apart from Maryam." It was Rasulullah's رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا habit that when he left for a journey, he would meet Faatimah صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ last and when he returned from a journey, he would meet her first. An entire book can be dedicated to the virtues and merits of Faatimah (saules. We have sufficed with just a few. رَضِ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ Ibraaheem He is the last of Rasulullah's Lauf children. He was born from Maariyah Qibtiyyah رَضِ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا in Zul Hijjah 8 A.H. Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم made his 'ageeqah on the seventh day. Two sheep were slaughtered, his head was shaved and the equivalent of the hairs weight in silver was given in charity. The hair was buried and he was named Ibraaheem. He was given to a wet-nurse on the outskirts of Madinah. Rasulullah Ucieaf would occasionally go to visit him, carry him and play with him. He lived for about 15-16 months and passed away in 10 A.H. Coincidentaly, the day on which he passed away, there was a solar eclipse. It was the belief of the Arabs that when a great person passes away, the sun goes into eclipse. In order to refute this baseless belief, Rasulullah Leaf delivered a sermon and said: "The sun and moon are from among the signs of Allah Ta'ala. They do not go into eclipse by the birth or death of anyone. Allah Ta'ala is actually frightening His servants. When you see such a phenomenon, you should offer Salaah, make dua to Allah Ta'ala and give charity." Chapter 32 The blessed physical features of Rasulullah call Rasulullah Ucieauf was neither too tall nor too short. He was of average height. He had a large head which was in proportion to his body. He had a thick beard. His head and beard had about 25 grey hairs. His face was luminous and handsome. Whoever saw his blessed face described it to be luminous like the full moon. His perspiration had a special fragrance. When droplets of his perspiration fell from his face, they looked like pearls. Anas deals says that we did not touch silk softer than the palms of Rasulullah Leaf, and we did not smell any musk and Amber more fragrant than the fragrance that emanated from the body of . صَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Rasulullah The seal of prophet-hood The seal of prophet-hood was situated between his shoulders, closer to the right shoulder. A Hadith of Sahih Muslim states that there was a piece of red flesh similar to that of a pigeon's egg situated between Resulullah's Lackauf two shoulders. This seal of prophet-hood was a special sign of his prophet-hood and was mentioned in the previous divine Books and mentioned by the previous Prophets of Allah Ta'ala. The scholars of the Bani Israa'eel used to see this and recognise Rasulullah skal as the last Prophet regarding whom the previous Prophets had given glad tidings, and that the seal of prophet-hood which they had mentioned was found in Rasulullah Lugarkauf. This seal of prophet-hood was a sort of mandate or certificate from Allah Ta'ala attesting to his prophet-hood. 'Allaamah Suhayli al says that the seal of prophet-hood was close to the right shoulder bone. The reason for it being situated there is that it is the area from 633 634 صَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Seeratul Mustafa which shaytaan enters the human body. He enters from the back and whispers into man's heart. The seal of prophet-hood was placed at this spot so that the entry point of shaytaan may be sealed and no whispering of shaytaan may enter his luminous heart. Some Ahaadith state that this seal of prophet-hood which was on Rasulullah's Ligakau back seemed to have the words Muhammad Rasulullah naturally inscribed on it. It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar Meals that the seal of prophet- hood was on the back of the Prophet tackar like a hazelnut made of flesh. In it was written with flesh, Muhammad Rasulullah. Rasulullah's Uckaf. hair would most of the time reach his ear lobes and sometimes go beyond that. He used to comb his hair and also apply surmah (antimony) to his eyes. This is despite the fact that his eyes had the natural look of having surmah. Rasulullah's Uckaf. eyes were large and wide (in proportion to his face). They were quite black. There was a very fine line of hair extending from his chest to his navel. His upper arms and feet were fleshy. When he walked, it seemed that he raised his feet with force and that he was descending from an elevated place. His blessed body and luminous face were beautified by all external and internal beauties. Apart from smiling, Rasulullah Lyckat. did not laugh with his mouth wide open. It is stated in the Hadith that he resembled Ibraheem the most in his ways and in his appearance. Rasulullah's ◌َصَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم blessed beard Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّاللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم had a thick beard. Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّاللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم did not trim it completely. However, he used to trim his moustache. He would occasionally trim those hairs of the beard that stuck out (of the normal shape of the beard) so that it does not look untidy and unkempt. The beard was a Sunnah practice of all the Prophets of Allah Ta'ala. It was never kept on the basis of national or cultural reasons as is the assumption of some deviated and immature people. The beard is not only a Sunnah of Muhammad kaf and the way of Islam, rather it is a Sunnah of all the Prophets (who numbered approximately 124 000). A Hadith states that the beard is from among the Sunnah practices of all the Prophets. صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ The clothing of Rasulullah Rasulullah's Uckauf clothes used to be extremely simple and basic. He led an ascetic life. His clothes in general comprised of a sheet, a kurtah, a cloak and a 635 Chapter 32 shawl - many of which used to have patches. He used to like green clothes. His clothes in general were white in colour. The sheet that he wore was a Yemeni sheet which had green and red lines on it. He used to like this sheet a lot. He prohibited men from wearing full red garments. His hat (topi) used to stick to his head. He never wore a high hat. Abu Kabshah narrates that the hats of the Sahaabah Reale used to be flat. They stuck to the head and were not high. Rasulullah Udaf was particular in wearing a hat beneath his turban. He used to say: "There is a difference between us and the disbelievers that we tie our turban above our hats." When Rasulullah Uckauf tied his turban, one end of it would hang between his shoulders. Sometimes, he would cause it to hang to the left or to the right. Sometimes he would tie it below his chin. It is stated in a Hadith that Rasulullah tugateau said: "During the battles of Badr and Hunayn, Allah Ta'ala sent such angels to assist me who were wearing turbans. These angels are mentioned in the Qur-aan: 'Five thousand angels on marked horses." It is stated in a Hadith that Rasulullah La saw trousers being sold in the market place of Mina. On seeing the trouser, he liked it and said that it is more concealing than an izaar (lungi). Resulullah Lackauf purchased the trouser but it is not confirmed that he wore it. Rasulullah stugakau liked kurtahs a lot. The opening of his kurtah used to be at the chest. At times, the buttons used to be open. Rasulullah Uckaf used to wear leather socks and make masah (passing of wet hands) on them. Rasulullah's Uckaf pillow was made of leather. It was filled with palm leaves. Sometimes, Resulullah gaila auf used to sleep on a straw mat. Rasulullah Uclai had a silver ring which he used to wear. When Rasulullah Ucka began writing letters to the rulers of Rome, Abyssinia, etc. he made a silver ring which had the words Muhammad, Rasool, Allah inscribed on three separate lines. The reason for making this ring was that kings did not accept any letters that did not have a seal. This ring was used as a seal. Rasulullah Uckauf wore flat sandals which had a single layer of sole and two straps on the top. He would insert his mubaarak toes in these straps. Rasulullah Uckauf. also had a black woollen shawl which had patches on it. A black woollen shawl with patches is also a Sunnah of the Prophets of Allah Ta'ala. This was also worn by the Auliyaa (friends) of Allah Ta'ala and the pious. It is extremely sad that this Sunnah has departed from this world. A sufi is referred to as a sufi because he wears a woollen shawl in emulation of the Sunnah of the Prophets of Allah Ta'ala. He is the person who has completely divorced himself from worldly pursuits and considers the royal garb and dress to be totally insignificant in comparison to this black woollen shawl. 636 صَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Seeratul Mustafa Ibn Mas'ood Meals says that the Prophets used to ride donkeys, wear woollen clothes, and milk the goats. Rasulullah Uclai said: "The day on which Allah spoke to Musa "Lige, the latter was wearing a woollen shawl, a woollen hat, a woollen cloak and woollen pants. His sandals were made from the skin of a dead donkey." Abu Bardah ibn Abi Musa Ash'ari Meals narrates that one day Aa'ishah Geals took out a thick woollen shawl with patches on it and a thick cloak and said: رَضِّ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا passed away in these two garments." Aa'ishah's صَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Rasulullah" purpose in saying this was to show Rasulullah's hatay simplicity, humility and ascetic way of life. Allah Ta'ala addressed Resulullah gateau in the Qur-aan as Muzammil (one who is wrapped in garments) and Muddassir (one who is enshrouded) to show that these garments were most beloved by Allah Ta'ala. Chapter 33 The Miracles of Nabi Muhammad Lackauf Allah Ta'ala sent Ambiyaa and Messengers from among mankind for the guidance of mankind. He did this in order to convey His injunctions through these pious personalities, to remind man of his Creator and in order to complete His evidence against man. Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur-aan: "So that the people may not have any evidence against Allah after the Messengers." Moreover, after the message has been conveyed by the Prophets and Messengers, people will have no excuse for not obeying the commands of Allah Ta'ala. Since the Prophets and Messengers were humans and their external forms were no different from other humans, Allah Ta'ala gave them miracles which would be proofs and evidences of their truthfulness. Allah Ta'ala says in the story of Musa "Liche: "These two (the staff and the luminous hand) are two proofs (of your prophet-hood) from your Sustainer." [Surah al-Qasas, verse 32] Nabi Uckaf was also given many miracles to prove his Messenger-hood. At times voices were heard from trees and rocks which gave testimony to Rasulullah's Ucka prophet-hood and which contained their greetings to him: "Peace be upon you O Messenger of Allah!" On one occasion, Resulullah LugarEau summoned a tree to him. It came to him and when he asked it to return to its original place, it returned. Miracles of barakah (blessings) The essence of every Prophet and Messenger is a fountain of blessings and goodness. Just as Muhammad Leaf surpasses the other Prophets in other attributes and qualities, his miracles of blessings and goodness are unsurpassed. In short, through his blessings, a small amount of food and a small quantity of water sufficed a huge army on several occasions. 637 638 صَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Seeratul Mustafa 1. In the battle of Khandaq, a small quantity of flour in the house of Jaabir4 filled the bellies of a large number of people. 2. Abu Talhah ◌ُرَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْه invited Rasulullah ◌َصَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم alone to his house and prepared food for 2-3 people. Rasulullah Uclea fed all his companions to their satisfaction from this little food. 3. On one occasion, about 2kg of barley and the mutton of a lamb sufficed 80 people. 4. There was no water left in the well at Hudaybiyah. Resulullah attackauf poured the left over water of his wudhu water into it and it began flowing like a spring. One thousand five hundred people drank of that water and gave to their animals as well. 5. The spring that was at Tabuk had become dry. Resulullah tack auf placed his wudhu water into it. It began flowing so profusely, that thousands of people drank from it. 6. On one occasion, the entire army of Muslims was restless due to thirst. Rasulullah Ucieaf took a cup which was so small that his hand could not fit into it. He placed his fingers over it and water began gushing from between his fingers. The entire army drank from that water and also performed wudhu. 7. On one occasion a cup of milk was brought to him. Resulullah staticauf ordered Abu Hurayrah Medkg, to call all the people of Suffah. They numbered about 70-80. All of them drank to their fill from that one cup. When they all finished, the milk was still as it had been. 8. When Rasulullah ◌َصَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم married Zaynab رَضِ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا, then the mother of Anas Kcal'), Umme Sulaym cauley, prepared some food and sent it to Rasulullah and ordered رَضِ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ invited many Sahaabah صَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Rasulullah. صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ that 10 of them should sit at a time and partake of that food. Approximately 300 of them ate from that food. The balance of the food was more than what was originally prepared. Acceptance of Duas From among the miracles of Rasulullah clauf is that whatever dua he made for anyone, it was accepted. Such miracles are also referred to as Sayf al-Lisaani. In other words, whatever is uttered by the tongue, happens exactly like that without any delay. This is a sign that the person is a chosen one of Allah Ta'ala and divinely assisted. Whatever Allah Ta'ala causes that person to say, takes place exactly like that. What can be said of the forceful tongue of Resulullah toget auf! 639 Chapter 33 Whatever he said was as if it was engraved in rock. Whatever he said about a particular person, took place exactly like that. 1. Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم made dua for Anas ◌ُرَضِّ اللَّهُ عَنْه who was a very poor person. Through this dua, he became very wealthy. 2. 'Abdur Rahmaan ibn 'Auf Meals became so wealthy by the dua of Rasulullah Tigaiteau, that he became a multi-millionaire. 3. Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم made dua for Sa'd ◌ُرَضِ اللَّهُ عَنْه that Allah Ta'ala should make him a person whose duas are readily accepted. This dua was accepted. 4. On the occasion of the hijrah, Suraaqah followed Rasulullah Leaf (in order to capture him). Rasulullah gateau made dua that Allah Ta'ala should cause his horse to sink into the ground. No sooner he made this dua, the horse sank into the ground till its knees. When Suraaqah embraced Islam, Rasulullah Luckauf. again made dua and the horse emerged immediately. 5. Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم made dua in favour of 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbaas ◌ُرَضَِّ اللَّهُ عَنْه that Allah Ta'ala should bless him with knowledge. Consequently, he became a fountain of knowledge and wisdom. . رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ made dua for the memory of Abu Hurayrah صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Rasulullah .6 Consequently, he never forgot whatever he heard thereafter. رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ made dua for the guidance of Abu Hurayrah's صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Rasulullah .7 mother. She embraced Islam soon thereafter. 8. On one occasion, Rasulullah Leaf went to someone's house. He placed a sheet over all of them and made dua. The threshold of the door and the walls of the house said Aameen three times to his dua. 9. When the Quraysh displayed extreme opposition and antagonism towards him, he cursed them by saying: "O Allah! Inflict them with a drought." Consequently, a drought was inflicted on them. 10. Madinah experienced a drought. While Rasulullah schaf was delivering his sermon, a person stood up and said: "O Rasulullah! Make dua for rain." Rasulullah Ucial raised his hand and made dua. It started to rain immediately. Curing the sick 1. During the battle of Khaybar, Ali deals experienced some pain in his eyes. Rasulullah Uckaf placed some of his blessed saliva on to them and they were immediately cured. He never experience pain in his eyes again. 640 صَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Seeratul Mustafa 2. An eye of Qataadah ibn Nu'maan Meals fell off during Jihaad. Rasulullah Ustani picked it up with his blessed hand and placed it back in its place. This eye sparkled and looked more appealing than the other eye (that hadn't fallen off). 3. 'Abdullah ibn 'Atik Kal killed Abu Raafi'. When 'Abdullah deaths was coming down from the steps, he fell and broke his legs. Rasulullah Lei passed his blessed hand over his legs and they were immediately cured as though they had not been broken. 4. While they were in the cave of Hira', a snake bit Abu Bakr deals. Rasulullah Utkání placed his saliva on that spot and it was immediately cured. 5. A blind person came to Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم .Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم taught him a special dua and said to him: "After performing wudhu, offer two Rakaats of Salaah and make dua to Allah Ta'ala by using my name. Allah Ta'ala will fulfil your need." This blind person followed the advice of Rasulullah ◌َصَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم .'Usmaan ibn Haneef ◌ُرَضِاللَّهُ عَنْه says: "We still hadn't got up from that assembly when that blind person's eyesight was returned to him." 6. Habib ibn Abi Fudayk's father deaths developed white specks in his eyes and became blind. Rasulullah Lyckats recited something and blew into his eyes. His eyes were immediately cured. 7. During the Farewell Haj, a woman came to Resulullah tackauf with her child. She informed him that this child was dumb. Rasulullah Lexi asked for some water, washed his hands, gargled his mouth and said: "Give this child this water to drink and sprinkle some of it on him." When the woman came the following year, her child was completely cured and could speak. 8. When Muhammad ibn Haatib &dlse was still a child, he fell from his mother's lap into the fire and got slightly burnt. Rasulullah caf placed some of his blessed saliva on him and he was completely cured. 9. Abu Hurayrah ◌ُرَضِّ اللَّهُ عَنْه complained to Rasulullah ◌َصَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم about his memory - that he forgets whatever he hears from him. Rasulullah Leaf asked him to spread out his shawl. He then placed something with both his hands onto it and asked him to place it against his chest. Abu Hurayrah deals, said: "I did exactly that and I never forgot anything thereafter." 10. A person came to Rasulullah Ucla and said: "O Messenger of Allah! My brother is ill. The effects of insanity are on him." Rasulullah Leaf asked him to bring his brother to him. When he was brought, Resulullah Ligasteauf 641 Chapter 33 recited several surahs of the Qur-aan and blew onto him. He was immediately cured and no traces of insanity remained on him. There are various other incidents where Resulullah stackauf cured people who were ill. He cured them with his blessed saliva, by blowing on them or by passing his hand over them and they were immediately cured. Bringing the dead to life The noble Prophets are essentially spiritual doctors. They have been commissioned to treat the ailments of the heart and soul. However, Allah Ta'ala occasionally enables them to cure such physical ailments which doctors are unable to treat. Occasionally, He also enables them to bring back the dead so that it may be made clear that these Prophets are the chosen ones of Allah Ta'ala. Miracles of this nature were given to a large extent to 'Isa ">tillate. Although Allah Ta'ala blessed Muhammad kaf with numerous types of miracles, He also endowed him with a fair share of miracles related to curing the sick and bringing back the dead to life. Allah Ta'ala caused a group of dead people to come to life at his hands. Imaam Qurtubi Xlx writes in his book, Tazkirah, that Allah Ta'ala caused a group of dead people to be revived at the hands of Muhammad togatta duits. 1. Anas deals narrates that a young son of an elderly old woman passed away. Everyone placed a cloth over him and covered him. The old lady was greatly disturbed and began screaming out and saying: "O Allah! You know very well that I embraced Islam solely for Your sake. I abandoned all the idols and emigrated to Your Messenger after much difficulties. O Allah! Do not give the idol worshippers the opportunity to ridicule me and do not place this unbearable burden on me." Anas deals says: "Rasulullah cka and all of us, the people of Suffah, were present at that time. I take an oath by Allah Ta'ala that we were still present there when that boy suddenly came to life. He removed the sheet that was covering his face and took meals with us. He remained alive till after the demise of Rasulullah Leaf . His old mother passed away in his lifetime." This child came back to life by this dua of this woman and the blessed presence of Rasulullah La. 2. Rasulullah Lcleaf invited a person to Islam. He replied: "I will only embrace Islam if you bring back to life my daughter who passed away recently." Rasulullah Lyckaf. said: "Show me her grave." That person took him to her grave. Rasulullah Leaf stood there and called out her name. The girl came to life and said: "Here I am and I am fortunate to be before you." Rasulullah kalau asked her: "Would you like to live with your parents?" 642 صَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Seeratul Mustafa She replied: "O Rasulullah chef ! The companionship of Allah Ta'ala is better. And I have found the hereafter to be better than this world." 3. صَلَّاللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ narrates that during the Farewell Haj, Rasulullah رَضِ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا Aa'ishah got off at a place called Hajoon and when he left, he was sad and crying. When he returned to me after some time, he was happy and smiling. When I asked him the reason for this, he replied: "I requested Allah Ta'ala to cause my parents to come back to life. Allah Ta'ala brought them back to life, they brought Imaan in me, and passed away again." 4. It is narrated through several narrations in the books of Hadith that when Rasulullah gateau was at Khaybar, a Jewish woman presented a roasted goat to Rasulullah La .. She had poisoned this goat. Rasulullah .also did the same رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُم ate a little from it and the Sahaabah صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Suddenly he asked the Sahaabah Acals to stop eating and said to them: "This goat has just informed me now that it has been mixed with poison." 5. Rasulullah clean used to lean against the stump of a date palm in the Masjid-e-Nabawi and deliver his sermons. Later when his mimbar was made, he began delivering his sermons from the mimbar. This stump was so overcome by grief over its separation from Rasulullah Leaf, that it began crying out loudly. He got down from the mimbar, went to it and embraced it. It then began sobbing. Rasulullah Leaf said: "This stump used to constantly listen to my sermon. Since it no longer listens to it, it began crying." Chapter 34 Khasaa'is-e-Nabawi (Special Merits of Nabi Tugal lau[5) Khasaa'is-e-Nabawi refers to those virtues and merits which Allah Ta'ala bestowed on Muhammad Uckaf alone. Allah Ta'ala did not bestow such virtues and merits to any of the other Prophets. Rasulullah Leaf said: "I have been given certain things which none of the other Prophets before me were given." 1. My commissioning as a Prophet was to the entire mankind. The Prophets before me used to be commissioned to their respective peoples, only while I have been commissioned to the entire world. Allah Ta'ala says: قُلْ يَّايُّهَا النَّاسُ اِّى رَسُوْلُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيْعًا "O people! Surely I am the Messenger of Allah to all of you." وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنُكَ إِلَّا كَآَفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ "We have not sent you but to all the people." تَبْرَكَ الَّذِيْ نَزَّلَ الْقُرْقَانَ عَلى عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُوْنَ لِلْعُلَمِيْنَ نَذِيْر١٧َ "Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion to His servant so that he may be a warner to the worlds." 2. I am the seal of Prophets. The chain of prophet-hood has ended with me. There is to be no Prophet after me. Allah Ta'ala says: 6 مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدُ اَبَآ آَحَدٍ مِنْ رِ جَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ رَّسُوْلَ اللهِ وَ خَاتَمَ النَّبَِّا "Muhammad is not the father of any of your men. Rather, he is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of Prophets." 643 644 صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ Seeratul Mustafa اَلْيَوْمَ اكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِيْنَكُمْ وَانْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِىْ وَرَضِيْتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِيُها b "Today have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favour on you and chose Islam as a religion for you." 3. I have been given comprehensiveness in speech. In other words, such short and comprehensive words which are few in number but whose meanings are numerous. The collection of Ahaadith is testimony to this. His Ahaadith are a collection of all true beliefs, correct deeds, noble characteristics, and all rules and injunctions related to religion and the world. 4. I have been given victory and help through my awe. Without any external causes, my enemies are intimidated by me and scared of me despite their being at a distance of a month's journey. This was divine help that caused his enemies who were as far as one month's journey to fear him and be terrified of him. Allah Ta'ala says: سَنُلْقِىْ فِيْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ "We shall cast terror in the hearts of the unbelievers." وَ قَذَفَ فِيْ قُلُوْ بِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ "And He cast terror in their hearts." 5. The entire earth has been made a place of sajdah for me and a pure place. In other words, my followers are permitted to offer Salaah everywhere - whether they are in the Masjid or not. I have received the permission to purify myself with pure sand. I am permitted to make tayammum everywhere. Sand has been made pure for me just like water. 6. Booty has been made lawful for me. It was not permitted to any Prophet before me. 7. My followers will be more in number than the followers of all the other Prophets. It is stated in a Hadith that on the day of Qiyaamah, all the nations of the world will cover 120 lines. From these, 80 lines will consist of my followers. 8. I have been given the Shafaa'ah al-Kubraa, the major intercession. On the day of Qiyaamah, all the early and latter nations will come to me. I will intercede for them in the court of Allah Ta'ala. 9. I will take my followers and cross the Bridge of Siraat before all the other Prophets. 10. I will enter Jannah first. Abu Bakr Meals and 'Umar deals will be to my right and left sides. In Jannah, every Prophet will have a fountain. My fountain will be the widest and most brilliant. Conclusion This weak servant has given a very brief and short explanation of the miracles and khasaa'is of Muhammad Laf. The Ahaadith in this regard are well known and popular. I now end this work, Seeratul Mustafa. I make dua to Allah Ta'ala that He decrees a good end for myself and my offspring. I pray that He enables me to enjoy the intercession of Muhammad Ucla, to be present at his fountain of abundance, and to drink from its water.
