The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to Gabriel, “What is the matter with her?” He said while she was combing Pharaoh’s daughter, when the hairpin fell from her hand, and she said, “In the Name of God.” And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “My father,” and the comber said to her, “No, but my Lord, and your Lord, and the Lord of your father.” She said, “Is there a Lord other than my father?” She said, “Yes, my Lord, and your Lord, and the Lord of your father is God.” She said, “I tell him, if she said, ‘Tell him.’” So he called her, and he said to her, “O so-and-so, do you have a Lord other than me?” She said, “Yes, my Lord and your Lord, God Almighty, who is in heaven.” Gabriel said, so he commanded. With a copper cow, it was heated. Then he ordered it to meet me and its children in it, and the shepherd said to her, “I have a need for you.” He said, “What is it?” She said, “To gather my bones and the bones of my son in one garment and bury us.” He said, “That is yours upon us because you have the right over us.” So he ordered her children to be thrown into the cow in front of her, one by one, until it ended with a baby boy of hers who was breastfeeding, as if she had neglected for his sake. Then the infant spoke, God willing, the Blessed and Most High, and said to her, “O nation.”

Fall down and do not hesitate. Be patient, for you are upon the truth. Attack, for the torment of this world is easier than the torment of the hereafter

Those who eat people's flesh

This is a barren camel

These are the preachers of your nation who say what they do not do, who command people to be righteous and forget themselves as they recite the Book. Do they not understand?

When my Lord Almighty ascended with me, I passed by people who had nails made of copper scratching their faces and chests. I said, “Who are these, O Gabriel?” He said, “These are the ones who eat people’s flesh and touch their honor.”

Then I was required to pray fifty prayers every day, and God revealed to me what He revealed. Then Gabriel raised his head and I saw him in his creation that he was created upon at Sidrat al-Muntaha in his image. He had six hundred wings in a fluttering suit that blocked the horizon, shaking from his feathers of twilights and pearls and rubies that God is All-Knowing, and he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, found his name written in the sky, Muhammad, the Messenger of God.

So I descended and returned, so I passed by Moses, peace be upon him, and Moses detained him and said, “O Muhammad, as you commanded.” I said, “I commanded fifty prayers per day and night.” He said to him, “I treated the Children of Israel before you, and your nation cannot perform fifty prayers per day and night. By God, I have tried the people before you and treated the Children of Israel severely.” So he returned to your Lord, so ask him to ease it for your nation. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, turned to Gabriel as if seeking advice from him about that, so Gabriel indicated to him that yes, if If you wish, Gabriel returned with him to his Lord, Blessed and Most High, and said, O Lord, make it easy for my nation, for my nation cannot. He said, so he reduced five for me, so I returned to Moses, and I said, remove five from me. Moses said, “Your nation cannot, so he returned to your Lord, so ask him to lighten it.” The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, continued between his Lord and Moses until God, Blessed and Most High, commanded him to five prayers. He said, “So I returned and was commanded to do five prayers every day.”

They are five prayers every day and night, and each prayer has ten, so that is fifty prayers, which is five, and it is fifty. It does not change what I say.

Then I brought an animal without a mule, and on top of the donkey, which is Buraq, a saddle and a bridle for me to ride. He mocked the prophets before me. He found it difficult when he wanted to ride it. Gabriel said to him, “What makes you do this? My father Muhammad. You do this. By God, no one has ever ridden you more honorable to God Almighty than him.” So he refused a race, so I rode him and he walked to the place where I came to Jerusalem. Gabriel said with his finger, so he pierced the stone and pulled Buraq with it, so I tied it to the ring with which he binds the prophets. Then I entered. The mosque, and I placed my feet where the feet of the prophets are placed in the Holy House, and you saw me in a group of prophets, and behold, Musa bin Imran, peace be upon him, was standing and praying, and there was a tall, dark-haired Adam’s man, with a strong build, as if he were one of the men of Shinuah, and behold, Jesus bin Maryam, peace be upon him, was standing and praying, and behold, he was a square-headed red man with a square build to red and white, with a straight head, as if he had emerged from Dimas, that is, from the place of bathing. The person closest to him resembled Urwa bin Masoud Al-Thaqafi, and behold, Abraham, peace be upon him, was standing and praying. People are your friend, meaning himself, may God bless him and grant him peace

O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your nation, and tell them that Paradise has good soil, fresh water, its land is spacious, and it is the bottoms of its plants. Glory be to God, praise be to God, and there is no god but God, and God is great, and there is no power nor strength except in God.

And among My signs is that I passed by a camel of yours in such-and-such a place. They had led astray a camel of theirs that so-and-so had gathered. And on their journey, they descend with such-and-such, then with such-and-such, and they come to you on such-and-such a day. Adam’s camel, wearing a black sackcloth and two black cloaks, presents them.

The prophets are brothers, their mothers have different kinships, and their religion is one

Like me and the likeness of the prophets before me is like a man who built a house and made it beautiful and beautiful, except for the place of a brick in a corner, so people began to circle around it and admire him and say, “Did you not put this brick in place? I am the brick and I am the Seal of the Prophets.”

So I chose milk, and it was said to me that I chose fitrah

He tears the clothes of the Kaaba if God sent Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace

Has God not found anyone but you?

By God, I will never speak to you if you are a messenger, because you are too dangerous for me to talk back to you, and because you are lying to God, I should not speak to you.

O God, to You I complain of the weakness of my strength, my lack of resourcefulness, and my humiliation towards people, O Most Merciful of those who show mercy. You are the Lord of the oppressed and you are my Lord. To whom do you entrust me? To a faraway person who frowns upon me, or to an enemy whose power over me is yours. If You are not angry with me, then I do not care, but Your well-being is more expansive for me. I seek refuge in the light of Your countenance, to which the darknesses have shone and the affairs of this world and the hereafter have been made right, from letting Your anger descend upon me or Your displeasure befall me. You are my chastisement until you are satisfied. There is no power nor strength except with You.

Has there ever come a day for you that was more severe for you than the Day of Uhud? He said, may God bless him and grant him peace, “I encountered from your people what I encountered, and the worst I encountered from them was on the Day of Aqaba, when I presented myself to Ibn Abd Yalil, but he did not answer me, so I set off with a worried face on my face, and I did not wake up until I was with the horns of foxes, so I raised my head, and I saw a cloud that had shaded me. I looked, and there was Gabriel in it. He called me and said, ‘God has heard what your people said to you and what they responded to you, and God has sent to you the King of the Mountains.’” You may command him to do whatever you wish regarding them. Then the King of the Mountains called me and greeted me. Then he said, “O Muhammad, if you wish for me to close upon them the two woods, I will do so.” Then the Noble Prophet, the Most Merciful, the Forbearing, who has compassion for his nation, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “Rather, I hope that God Almighty and Majestic will bring forth from their loins someone who will worship God Almighty alone, not associating anything with Him.”

I am an ally and the ally does not support me

Bani Amir will not rule over Bani Kaab

O people of Quraysh, I have rewarded Muhammad, so let none of you deceive him

The Arabs had many good qualities, but they needed a religion that would bind them and improve their behavior

If Al-Mut'im Ibn Adi were alive and then those stinkers asked me, I would have given it to them or I would have left them to him

O Zuhair, are you satisfied to eat food and drink drink and your uncles are such that you know? He said: Woe to you, what can I do when I am one man? By God, if I had another man with me. He said: I have found another man for you. He said who? He said I am. Zuhair said to him: We seek a third man.

Woe to you, what do I do? I am only one man. He said: I found a second one. He said who is he? He said I am. He said: We want a third. He said I did. Who said? Zuhair bin Abi Umayyah said. He said, “We loved Raba’a.”

Is there anyone who can help with this? He said yes. He said who is he? Zuhair bin Abi Umayyah and Al-Mut’im bin Adi said, “I am with you.” Abaghna said fifthly.

O people of Mecca, will we eat food and wear clothes, while Banu Hashim will perish, neither being sold nor bought from them? By God, I will not sit down until this oppressive, conclusive newspaper is destroyed.

I lied, by God, it will not hurt

By God, you are the most liar. We did not agree to write it when it was written

Zamaa is right. We do not accept what was written about it, nor do we acknowledge it

You both told the truth and those who said otherwise lied. We disavow before God it and what was written in it

You believed them and those who said otherwise lied. We disavow them before God

This is a matter that was spent the night being spent in another place

God has informed His Messenger of the matter of the document, and my nephew told me that God sent the earth upon it, and it consumed all that was in it of injustice, estrangement, and injustice, except for what is true.

Abu Talib used to prevent people from harming the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his companions with everything he could of actions, words, lives, and money.

You insult my nephew and I am against his religion

When I left, I thought about the matter and said, “How come I said I follow his religion when I have not yet converted to Islam?”

I went out to meet the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, before I converted to Islam, and I found that he had preceded me to the mosque, so I stood behind him and he opened Surah Al-Haqqa. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, began to recite while I was listening and was amazed at his composition, so I said to myself, “This, by God, is a poet, just as the Quraysh said.”

It is the speech of a noble Messenger, and it is not the speech of a poet. Little do you believe

Nor by the words of a soothsayer. Little do you remember a revelation from the Lord of the worlds

Ibn al-Khattab has become a boy

He lied, but I converted to Islam

We were not able to pray at the Kaaba until Omar converted to Islam

O Abu Talib, you have age, honor, and a position among us, and we have prohibited you from your nephew, but you have not prohibited it, and by God we cannot be patient with this. He comes and recites the Qur’an between our backs. This is what we will never tolerate, from cursing our fathers, belittling our dreams, and disgracing our gods until you stop him from us or we compete with him, and beware of that until one of the two parties perishes.
