Hadrat Zaid ibn Amr And Hadrat Waraqah bin Nawfal Visit The King Najashi
Hadrat Zaid ibn Amr And Hadrat Waragah bin Nawfal once went to the King Najashi and met him.
King Najashi: 0 you two men of Quraish, tell me truthfully. Was there born among you a boy whose father wanted to sacrifice him and who had divining arrows cast about him, but-who was saved and had many camels sacrificed for him?”
Hadrat Waragah bin Nawfal : Yes
King Najashi:’Do you have knowledge of him then, and of what became of him?
Hadrat Zaid ibn Amr : he married a woman named Aminah, daughter of Wahab; he left her pregnant then went away.’
King Najashi: ‘Do you know if a child was born or not?’
Hadrat Waragah bin Nawfal: ‘T will tell you, 0 King. I had spent a night at an idol in which people used to circumambulate and worship. Suddenly I heard a voice emanating from its belly that said, “The Prophet is born and so the kings are abased, falsehood is averted and polytheism is dead.’The idol thereupon tipped over on to its face.’
Hadrat Zaid ibn Amr : I had a similar experience, O King
King Najashi: ‘Let’s hear it,’
Hadrat Zaid ibn Amr : ‘On just that night as Waragah told of, I left my people, who were talking about Aminah’s being pregnant, and went to Mt. Abu Qubays, wanting to be alone there because of something that was bothering me. Suddenly I saw a man like descend from the skies who had two green wings. He stood atop Mt. Abu Qubays, then looked down over Mecca and said, Satan is humiliated and the idols are cast down. The ‘Al Amin’ is born.’ He then spread out a cloth he had with him and floated away on it to the east and west. I saw that he had lit up all beneath the sky and a light was Shinning so brightly that it almost blinded me. I was awed by what I had seen. The man who had called out flapped his wings and flew down to the kaaba, a light shining from him that illuminated all Tiba. He then spoke, “The earth is aflame and has reached its springtime.” He then gestured towards the idols that were in the kaaba and they all fell down.’
King Najashi: Let me tell you now what happened to me. I was asleep that same night you mentioned, alone in a pavilion, when out from the ground came a neck and a head which said, “Woe has befallen the warriors with elephants! flocks of birds cast clay stones at them. The criminal aggressor Abraha al-Ashram has perished! And the ummi prophet has been born ,from the sacred quarter. Whoever responds to him will be glad; whoever scorns him will be sad.” He then entered the earth and was gone. I tried to scream, but couldn’t say a word. I then tried to get up, but could not do so. I struck the pavilion with my hand and my family heard this and came to me. I told them,”Keep the Abyssinians away from me.” They did so. And then I regained use of my tongue and feet?
Then Hadrat Zaid ibn Amr and Hadrat Waragah bin Nawfal return back to Makkah
