Sayyiduna ‘Irbad bin Sariyah Fazari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“I was written as the Seal of the Prophets in the presence of Allah Almighty at a time when Adam (peace be upon him) was still being shaped from clay. And soon I will tell you about its beginning: (I am) the result of the supplication of my forefather Ibrahim (peace be upon him), the glad tidings given by ‘Isa (peace be upon him), and the dream seen by my mother when she gave birth to me—that a light emerged from her body by which the palaces of Syria were illuminated.”
