Which is in the Qur’an, appears in the Surah thus: ‘Verily We have sent you (O Muhammad) as a
witness, as a bringer of glad tidings and as a warner, and as a protector for the illiterates (i.e., the Ar –
abs.) You are my slave and My Apostle, and I have named you Al-Mutawakkil (one who depends
upon Allah). You are neither hard-hearted nor of fierce character, nor one who shouts in the mar –
kets. You do not return evil for evil, but excuse and forgive. Allah will not take you unto Him till He
guides through you a crocked (curved) nation on the right path by causing them to say: “None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah.” With such a statement He will cause to open blind eyes, deaf
ears and hardened hearts.’

I said to ‘Aisha, “O Mother! Did Prophet Muhammad see his Lord?” Aisha said, “What you have
said makes my hair stand on end ! Know that if somebody tells you one of the following three things,
he is a liar: Whoever tells you that Muhammad saw his Lord, is a liar.” Then Aisha recited the Verse:
‘No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Courteous Well-Acquain –
ted with all things.’ (6.103) ‘It is not fitting for a human being that Allah should speak to him except
by inspiration or from behind a veil.’ (42.51) ‘Aisha further said, “And whoever tells you that the
Prophet knows what is going to happen tomorrow, is a liar.” She then recited:
‘No soul can know what it will earn tomorrow.’ (31.34) She added: “And whoever tell you that he
concealed (some of Allah’s orders), is a liar.” Then she recited: ‘O Apostle! Proclaim (the Message)
which has been sent down to you from your Lord..’ (5.67) ‘Aisha added. “But the Prophet saw Gabriel
in his true form twice.”

Narrated Al-Bara:
While a man from the companions of the Prophet was reciting (Quran) and his horse was tied in
the house, the horse got startled and started jumping. The man came out, looked around but could
not find anything, yet the horse went on jumping. The next morning he mentioned that to the
Prophet.
The Prophet said, “That was the tranquility (calmness) which descended because of the recitation
of the Quran.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 349:
Narrated Abdullah:
Allah sent (the Prophet) Muhammad and said:–
‘Say, No wage do I ask of you for this (Qur’an) nor am I one of the pretenders (i.e. a person who
pretends things which do not exist). (38.68) When Allah’s Apostle saw Quraish standing against him,
he said, “O Allah! Help me against them by afflicting them with seven years of famine similar to the
seven years (of famine) of Joseph. So they were afflicted with a year of drought that destroyed
everything, and they ate bones and hides. (One of them said), “And they ate hides and dead animals,
and (it seemed to them that) something like smoke was coming out of the earth. So Abu Sufyan came

to the Prophet and said, “O Muhammad! Your people are on the verge of destruction! Please invoke
Allah to relieve them.” So the Prophet invoked Allah for them (and the famine disappeared). He said
to them. “You will revert (to heathenism) after that.” ‘Abdullah then recited:
‘Then watch you for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke plainly visible…….but
truly you will revert (to disbelief).’ He added, “Will the punishment be removed from them in the
Hereafter? The smoke and the grasp and the Al-Lizam have all passed.” One of the sub-narrater said,
“The splitting of the moon.” And another said, “The defeat of the Romans (has passed).”
