Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad,
0:43
and al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak, with a chain of narration supported by corroborating evidence,
0:47
from 'Utbah Ibn 'Abd al-Sulami, who said:
0:51
A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him:
0:55
"How did your affair first begin, O Messenger of Allah?"
0:59
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, replied:
1:03
"My foster mother was from the tribe of Banu Sa'd Ibn Bakr.
1:06
I went out with a son of hers to tend to our livestock,
1:10
and we did not take any provisions with us.
1:12
I said to my brother,
1:14
'Go and bring us some provisions from our mother.'
1:18
My brother left,
1:19
and I remained with the livestock.
1:22
Then two white birds appeared, looking like eagles.
1:26
One said to the other,
1:28
'Is it him?'
1:30
He replied, 'Yes.'
1:31
They rushed toward me,
1:34
seized me, and laid me flat on my back.
1:37
They opened my abdomen,
1:39
then extracted my heart and split it open.
1:42
They removed two black clots from it.
1:46
One said to the other,
1:48
'Wash it.'
1:49
Meaning, clean it.
1:51
So he washed it and sealed it with the seal of prophethood.
1:55
Then they left and departed, leaving me behind.
1:58
I was struck with intense fear.
2:01
I then went to my mother,
2:03
and told her what I had encountered.
2:05
She feared that I might have been afflicted by something.
2:09
She said,
2:10
'I seek refuge in Allah for you.'
2:12
She prepared a camel for me,
2:14
placed me upon the saddle,
2:16
and rode behind me
2:18
until we reached my mother [Aminah].
2:20
She said,
2:22
'I have fulfilled my trust and my responsibility.'
2:25
I told her what I had encountered,
2:27
but it did not alarm her.
2:29
She said,
2:30
'I saw a light emerge from me,
2:33
which illuminated the palaces of al-Sham.'
2:36
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih,
2:39
from Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:43
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:47
was visited by Jibril, peace be upon him,
2:49
while he was playing with the boys.
2:51
He took him and laid him down,
2:53
then opened his chest to reach his heart.
2:55
He extracted the heart,
2:57
and removed a clot from it.
2:59
He said,
3:01
'This was the portion of Shaytan in you.'
3:04
Then he washed it in a golden basin with Zamzam water,
3:08
then restored it and returned it to its place.
3:12
The boys came running to his mother,
3:15
meaning his foster mother,
3:17
and said,
3:18
'Muhammad has been killed!'
3:21
They went to meet him, and he was pale.
3:24
Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
3:27
'I used to see the mark of that stitching on his chest.'

May his reach be encompassed.

and as long as the rest remains,

healing.
