Allah said, "so (Allah) revealed to His worshiper that which He revealed". Allah revealed to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, His Mighty, Unseen Kingdom where he saw and witnessed the wonders of the angelic realm that can neither be expressed in words nor yet is it possible for human intellect to endure seeing or hearing, not even in its minutest atom. One must realize that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was given powers far in excess of our own. For example, he was given the strength and power to receive the intensity of the Revelation, the witnessing of the communing of the angelic hosts, the Night Journey from Mecca to Jerusalem when he was carried by Burack at the speed of light and thereafter his ascent through the heavens to the furthest limit. Regarding his everyday affairs he told his Companions that Allah feeds him and gives him to eat and drink, and that although his eyes slept his heart was always awake, all of which is beyond our reach. This exceptional blessing from Allah is far beyond our capacity to understand, and if one were to attempt such understanding then one's mind would become paralyzed. This fact is important to understand before progressing to the hadiths of Lady Ayesha and Abbas' son relating to the seeing of his Lord.
