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).

Abbas' son spoke to his companions about the position of the Prophet saying, "Allah preferred Muhammad to the inhabitants of the heavens and all the other noble prophets." Whereupon his companions inquired about his excellence over the inhabitants of the heavens, so Abbas told them, "Allah says to the inhabitants of the heavens, 'If any one of them says: I am a god other than Him, We will recompense him with Gehenna (Hell). As such We recompense the harm doers'" (21:29). Whereas Allah said to Prophet Muhammad "Indeed, We have opened for you a clear opening that, Allah forgives your past and future sins, and completes His Favor to you, and guides you on a Straight Path" (48:1-2). Abbas’ companions then inquired about the Prophet’s excellence over the other noble prophets whereupon Abbas reminded them of the verse, "Allah says, 'We have sent no Messenger except in the tongue of his own nation, so that he might make everything plain to them. But Allah leads astray whom He will and guides whom He will. He is the Almighty, the Wise" (14:4) whereas Allah said to Prophet Muhammad "We did not send you for all mankind except to bring them glad tidings and to warn" (34:28).

One day when Khalid, Madan's son was amongst the Companions they asked the Messenger of Allah to tell them more about himself, so the Prophet told them, "I am the answer to the supplication of my father Abraham, when he supplicated 'Our Lord, send among them a Messenger from them' (2:129). Jesus also gave the good news about me."
