کہ دَست بستہ ہیں پیچھے حاضِر، جو سلطنت آ گے کر گئے تھے

Explanation of the couplet: At Mi’raaj night, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did the Imaamat of all the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام and led their Salah. The secret behind this was to differentiate between first and last, so that it can become obvious that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم who came into the world as the last Prophet is not less than any other Prophets in glory and greatness. Indeed, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is greater than other Prophets in glory and greatness. The evidence for this is that all the Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام who had declared their Prophethood before are standing behind the Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with their hands tied.

When the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم met the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام present over there after the Salah, so one by one all the Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام praised Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Sayyiduna Ibraheem عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام said: All the praises are to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ who made me Khaleel and bestowed Mulk-e-‘Azeem upon me. Furthermore, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ made me His subservient and the Imam of the people so that I could be obeyed and saved me from the fire and made it cold and peaceful for me.

After him, Sayyiduna Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام stood and praised Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ: All the praises are to Allah Almighty who enabled me to converse with Him  عَزَّوَجَلَّ(Kaleem) and enabled me to kill pharaoh and gave salvation to Bani Israel and made my Ummah (one of the groups) a nation who would show the right path and do justice.

Then praising Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام stated: All the praises are to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ who gave me a very big kingdom and blessed me with the knowledge of Zaboor and softened iron in my hand and brought mountains and birds under my control who praise Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with me and bestowed wisdom and the knowledge of making a decision upon me.

Then praising Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ Sayyiduna Sulayman عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام stated: All the praises are to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ who gave me the control over air/wind and brought Jinnaat under my control. They as per my wish build high palaces,
