over the seas, so that all creation may know his name, his blessed appearance, and his immaculate qualities—and know that he is al-Māḥī (the eraser) who will eradicate polytheism." Soon thereafter the cloud dispersed.^[1]

In the narration of Khaṭīb Baghdādī رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ  , Sayyidah Āminah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا said: Then I saw him صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  wrapped in green silk cloth, dripping with water.

Then it was announced: "How magnificent! Muhammad صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ   has been granted authority over the entire world. There is nothing in the universe that is not under his control, authority, and obedience." I then looked at his luminous face, which shone like the full moon, and a pure fragrance of musk emanated from his blessed body. Then, appeared three people: one held a silver vessel, the second held a green emerald platter (i.e., tray), and the third held a shining ring. He washed the ring seven times and placed the Seal of Prophethood between the blessed shoulders of the Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ . After that, he wrapped the Greatest Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  in a silk cloth and handed him over to me.^[2]
