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).

They held me tightly and split open my chest, from my throat down to my belly. Then they removed my heart and split it open. Then they washed my heart and chest with snow until they had cleansed it." One of the angels said to the other, "Weigh him with ten people of his nation," but I outweighed them. So he said, "Weigh him with one hundred of his nation," but I still outweighed them. Then he said, "Weigh him with one thousand of his nation," but once again I outweighed them. Whereupon the angel said, "If you were to weigh him with all his nation he would still outweigh them all!"
