The seeing of the Light of the Prophet during his conception and birth by Lady Aminah, Mother of the Prophet, by Ahmad Darwish:
Sairia, Al Irbad's son, said that the Messenger of Allah said, "Indeed, I am the worshipper of Allah, and the Seal of the prophets since Adam was set in clay. I will inform you about this: I am the supplication of my father Abraham, the glad tidings of Jesus, and the vision of my mother and as such, the mothers of the prophets see – and know that the mother of the Messenger of Allah saw as she gave birth to me, a light emitting from her that lit the palaces of Syria, till she saw them." Narrated by Ahmad son of Hanbal, Bazar and Al Byhaqi who judged it to be authentic as did ibn Hibban, Al Hakim and confirmed by Hafiz ibn Hajar. Reported by Hafiz Abdullah Bin Siddique Al Ghumari, may Allah have mercy on them.
(To this Ahmad Darwish added: this 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 heard about it thereafter. The Prophet honored Lady Aminah 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 maintained 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
