A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:00:17.609 --> 00:00:26.239
His (peace be upon him) vision of Gabriel (peace be upon him).

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saw Gabriel (peace be upon him).

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:41.439
In the form in which Allah created him, at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary.

00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:49.119
Gabriel (peace be upon him) used to come to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in various forms.

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:55.659
Most often, he would come to him in the likeness of Dihyah ibn Khalifah al-Kalbi (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:00:55.659 --> 00:00:57.619
Allah the Exalted said:

00:00:57.619 --> 00:01:33.299
Ahmad recorded in his Musnad with a sound chain of narration.

00:01:33.299 --> 00:01:36.620
On the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:38.939
He said regarding this verse:

00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:42.060
“And verily he saw him yet another time” (53:13)

00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:46.859
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:50.260
"I saw Gabriel at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary."

00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:52.780
"He had six hundred wings."

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:55.700
"From his feathers, there scattered colors of splendor,"

00:01:55.700 --> 00:01:58.260
"Pearls and rubies."

00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:00.620
Imam al-Bayhaqi said:

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:04.420
"The statement of ‘A’ishah, Ibn Mas‘ud, and Abu Hurayrah,"

00:02:04.459 --> 00:02:10.580
"In their interpretation of these verses as referring to his seeing Gabriel (peace be upon him), is the most correct."

00:02:10.580 --> 00:02:12.699
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:

00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:17.909
"What al-Bayhaqi stated is the truth regarding this matter."

00:02:17.909 --> 00:02:19.870
And the saying of the Exalted:

00:02:19.870 --> 00:02:22.389
"Then he approached and descended,"

00:02:22.389 --> 00:02:25.349
Refers only to Gabriel (peace be upon him).

00:02:25.349 --> 00:02:29.870
As is established in the two Sahih collections on the authority of ‘A’ishah, Mother of the Believers.

00:02:29.870 --> 00:02:31.669
And on the authority of Ibn Mas‘ud.

00:02:31.710 --> 00:02:37.150
And likewise, it is in Sahih Muslim on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them).

00:02:37.150 --> 00:02:42.870
