The Sixth Heaven
In the sixth heaven he met a man with a prominent nose, similar to those of the people
of Shanu'a. The man was Prophet Moses, brother of Aaron and son of Imran, and as
before he too welcomed and supplicated for him and inquired whether he had been sent.
When he was with Moses, Moses started to weep, whereupon the Prophet (salla Allahu
alihi wa sallam) asked why he was weeping. Moses replied, “O Lord, this is a young man
who was sent after me, and more of his nation will enter the Garden than those of my
nation."
The Seventh Heaven
When Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) and Gabriel entered the
seventh heaven they saw a man sitting comfortably on his chair resting his back, at the
entrance of an eternal, crowded mansion – Al Bayt al Mamor. The entrance of the
eternal crowded mansion has been explained by scholars as being the entrance to
Paradise. The man was Prophet Abraham of whom Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu
alihi wa sallam) observed, "I have never seen a man more like myself."
