Divine signs at the time of His birth – The Ka’aba sways for 3 days
Even the Ka’aba was expressing happiness on the coming of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him):
Translation: It is narrated on the
authority of Hadhrat ‘Amr bin Qutaybah says: I heard my father say and he was a
great reservoir of knowledge that when the time of the birth of the Holy
Prophet (Peace be upon him) came near, Almighty Allah ordered His angels to
open all the doors of all the heavens and to open the doors of paradise as
well. Then they should present themselves on earth and start congratulating
each other. The mountains raised themselves further. The waves of the sea grew
even higher. The creation of the oceans and seas started congratulating each
other. All the angels had come. Satan was chained with 70 chains and he was
cast face-down in the ocean. Devils and rebellious genie were chained. That day
the sun was adorned with great radiance and 70,000 damsels were stood above it.
They waited for the birth of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him). Almighty Allah decreed for all women that
year that they would be all blessed with a son. All the trees were laded with
fruits and every fear was replaced with solace. When the Holy Prophet (Peace be
upon him) was born, the whole world became radiant and the angels started
congratulating each other. On each heaven, a pillar of precious stones was
raised, due to which the sky became radiant. That pillar is well known in the
highest heavens (Mala-e-A’ala) which the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) saw
during the heavenly journey of Meraj. He was told that this is the pillar which
was raised in honor of your birth. On the night of His birth, Almighty Allah
planted 1000 fragrant trees on the side of Houz-e-Kauthar. Their fruit was made
fragrance for the dwellers of paradise. The dwellers of all the spiritual
realms started supplicating for safety. All idols prostrated. Laat and ‘Uzza
came out of their places and were saying…The Trustworthy Prophet has come. The
True One has come to them. The Quraish doesn’t realize what distinction has it
been granted. For days after it, people heard a voice from the Ka’aba. It was
saying: Now my radiance will be returned to me. Now those who circumambulate (perform
Tawaf) will come to me. Now, I will be cleaned of the filth of the days of
ignorance. O ‘Uzza! You are finished. The Ka’aba swayed for 3 days and 3
nights. This was the first sign that the Quraish saw on the occasion of the
birth of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him). (Khasais-e-Kubra, Vol. 1, Pg.
No. 80)
Hazrat ‘Abdul Muttalib says: I heard a
voice from the walls of the Ka’aba: The
Master of the Universe has been born. His very presence will dispel the
darkness of disbelief. He will purify the world and will invite people towards
the One Lord Almighty. (As Seerah Al
Halabiya, Vol. 1, and Pg. No. 86)
