Ka‘b,3 Burayda,4 and Umm Salama, the Mother of Believers,5 each at the head of a chain of transmission, reported this same miracle to the Prophet’s (UWBP) community. Foremost Bukhari, Muslim, and the authentic books of Hadith gave accounts of this great miracle, which were unanimously accepted, together with its lines of transmission for succeeding generations.Jabir, in his chain of transmission, says: “God’s Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace) used to lean against a wooden pole called the palm trunk while delivering the sermon in the mosque.
