Salaam to him. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said Salaam and he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام replied to his Salaam. Then welcoming the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام stated: ‘مَرۡحَبًا بِالۡاِبۡنِ الصَّالِحِ وَالنَّبِيِّ الصَّالِحِ’ i.e. a righteous son and a righteous Prophet is welcomed. (Sahih Bukhari, pp. 977, Hadis 3887)

Having met Sayyiduna Ibraheem عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reached near Sidra-tul-Muntaha which is a luminous jujube tree; its root is on the sixth sky and branches on the seventh sky; its leaves resemble the ears of the elephant and fruits are shaped like a large earthen pot of Maqaam-e-Hijr. Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام humbly said: It is Sidra-tul-Muntaha. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw four streams here which were coming out of the root of Sidra-tul-Muntaha; two streams were visible and two were hidden. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام: O Jibraeel! What type of streams are these? Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام humbly said: Hidden streams are from Paradise and the visible streams are the Nile and Furaat.

(Sahih Bukhari, pp. 976, Hadis 3887)

Maqaam-e-Mustawa

As the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم moved forward from Sidra-tul-Muntaha, Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام remained at the same place and humbly refused to go further. (Al-Muwahib-ul-Laduniyyah, vol. 2, pp. 381)

Shaykh ‘Abdul Haq Muhaddis Dihlvi عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has said that it has been stated in some narrations that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام: If you need something, you can humbly say it to me, I will mention it to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام humbly said: Please mention this wish of mine to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ widens my arms, on the Judgment Day, more so that I can make your Ummah cross Siraat bridge through my arms. (Madarij-un-Nubuwwah, vol. 1, pp. 164)
