It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated during the recitation of Surah al-Najm, and the Muslims, the polytheists, the jinn and mankind (all) prostrated with him. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "The heart did not lie about what it saw" [Surah al-Najm: 11] , that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Jibril (peace be upon him) in a robe of fine green silk (rafraf), and he had filled the space between the heaven and the earth." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Do you wonder that the honour of close friendship (with Allah) was given to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), the honour of being spoken to (by Allah) was given to Musa (peace be upon him), and the honour of seeing (the Lord) was given to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? May the blessings of Allah Almighty be upon them all." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
