Visions of the previous prophets before the Beloved’s birth

Dear Islamic brothers! When Sayyidatuna Aaminah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا fell pregnant, she رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا was blessed with the vision of nine Noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام in various months, and each of them gave her some news regarding the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

Allamah Maulana Abdur Rahman Ibn-e-Jawzi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: When the birth of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم approached,

1.   Sayyiduna Adam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام came into the dream of Sayyidatuna Aaminah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا and gave her news of the Beloved Prophet’s arrival.

2.   Then Sayyiduna Idrees عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام came and informed her of the Beloved Prophet’s munificence and generosity, and of his elevated rank.

3.   Then Sayyiduna Nooh عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام appeared and said, ‘Your son is the owner of success and help.’
