(Shaykh Darwish added: this hadith negates the opinion of those who consider Lady Aminah to be merely among the people of an upright nature before Islam, and as such their "charity" is sent back to them. This prophetic saying is proof that she is the first among the close friends of Allah (awlia) in Islam, and that she is the honorable mother of the family of the Prophet's house, since she saw with the eye of the close friends of Allah (awlia). Such high ranking status is referenced in the Divine hadith, "I will be his sight with which he sees". This means that she saw the palaces not with her regular eyesight but with her son's light . Therefore, she endowed him with her best honor and milk, and he lit her before lighting the world.

Grammatically, the Prophet referred to himself as the second person with his mother and bore witness that she saw the whole light, whereas others only heard about the event thereafter. The Prophet honored her and called her "Mother of the Messenger of Allah". Her light, honor and happiness was inherited by Lady Khadijah then her daughter Lady Fatima, may Allah be pleased with them.

Hafiz ibn Kathir in his Sahih (authentic) Seerah reported that Lady Aminah also saw the same light when she conceived the Prophet. He also mentioned in the same reference the blessing of the Prophet. Before his death, Shaykh Al Bani adhered to this and abandoned the Wahabi sect. Shaykh Al Bani became highly critical of the professed belief of the major Wahabi clerics - ibn Baz and Twigry - who maintain a similarity between human beings and Allah.

This is, in brief, the blessing of Allah to us of the understanding of this hadith. It is the undisputable authentic reference to the light of the Prophethood and no one should consider the false narration that says, "O Jabir, the first creation by Allah is the light of your Prophet" which its fabricator claimed to be reported in the Musannaf of Abdul Razzaq. There is no such saying in that reference or anywhere else, it is totally false

Regarding the tomb of Lady Aminah your attention is drawn to the fact that many years later during the march to the Battle of Uhud, Hind wife of Abu Sufyan called upon the hierarchy of the Koraysh to ravage the tomb of Lady Aminah. Even though the hatred of the Koraysh for the Prophet was great, they thought that such an act would be a despicable thing to do and the tribes of Arabia would be repulsed by their action, the stain of which would never be wiped out and it was a door they did not want to open. (In recent years, the Wahabi sect did not match the ethics of unbelievers of Mecca. They disrespected the tombs of the Prophet’s mother Lady Aminah, Lady Khadijah and the household of the Prophet and his Companions in
