It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the court of the Messenger, "O Prophet of Allah! What is your beginning?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The supplication of my father Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and the glad tidings of Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him), and my mother saw that a light emerged from her by which the palaces of Syria were illuminated."
