Fatwa number ( 8050 ):
Q: It is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: " When Allah the Exalted created Jibril (peace be upon him) in the most beautiful form and gave him six hundred wings, the length of each wing being the distance from the East to the West, he looked at himself and said — that is, Jibril — 'My Lord, have You created a more beautiful form than me?' So Allah the Exalted said: 'No.' Jibril stood up and prayed two rak'ahs in gratitude to Allah the Exalted, standing for twenty thousand years in each rak'ah. When he finished the prayer, Allah the Exalted said: 'O Jibril, you have worshipped Me with the true worship, and no one worships Me like your worship. But in the last of time, a noble prophet, beloved to Me, will come, called Muhammad, and he will have a weak, sinful ummah (Muslim community). They will pray two rak'ahs with forgetfulness and deficiency in a short time, with many thoughts and great sins. By My Majesty and My Glory, their prayer is more beloved to Me than your prayer; because their prayer is by My command, and you prayed without My command.' Jibril said: 'O Lord, what
Did You give them in exchange for their worship? So Allah the Exalted said: I gave them the Garden of Refuge. So he sought permission from Allah the Exalted to see it, and Allah the Exalted granted him permission. So Gabriel came and opened all his wings, then he flew. Every time he opened two wings, he covered a distance of three thousand years, and every time he folded them, he covered the same distance. So he flew in this manner for three hundred years, then he was exhausted and landed in the shade of a tree and prostrated to Allah the Exalted. So he said in his prostration: My Lord, have I reached half of it, or a third of it, or a quarter of it? So Allah the Exalted said: O Gabriel, even if you flew for three hundred thousand years, and even if I gave you strength like your strength and wings like your wings, and you flew as much as you flew, you would not reach one-tenth of a tenth of what I gave to the Ummah of Muhammad in exchange for two rak'ahs of their prayer." End of quote. And another hadith, O my master, its text is as follows: It was narrated from Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the virtues of tarawih in the month of Ramadan? So he said: "The believer emerges from his sins on the first night as on the day his mother gave birth to him, and on the second night, forgiveness is granted to him and his parents if they are believers, and on the third night, an angel from beneath the Throne calls out: 'Purify the deed, Allah has forgiven what has passed of your sins,' and on the fourth night, he has a reward like the reading of the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and the Furqan, and on the fifth night, Allah the Exalted gave him like the one who prayed in al-Masjid al-Haram and al-Masjid al-Madinah and al-Masjid al-Aqsa , and on the sixth night, Allah the Exalted gave him the reward of the one who circumambulated the House of the Inhabitants, and every stone and pavement seeks forgiveness for him,
and on the seventh night, it is as if he met Musa (peace be upon him) and supported him against Pharaoh and Haman, and on the eighth night, Allah the Exalted gave him what He gave Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and on the ninth night, it is as if he worshipped Allah the Exalted with the worship of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and on the tenth night, Allah provides him with the good of this world and the Hereafter, and on the eleventh night, he emerges from the world as on the day he was born from his mother's womb, and on the twelfth night, the Day of Resurrection comes and his face is like the moon on the night of the full moon, and on the thirteenth night, the Day of Resurrection comes and he is safe from all evil, and on the fourteenth night, the angels come to testify for him that he has prayed tarawih, so Allah does not account him on the Day of Resurrection, and on the fifteenth night, the angels and the bearers of the Throne and the Footstool pray for him, and on the sixteenth night, Allah writes for him a certificate of safety from the Fire and a certificate of entry into Paradise, and on the seventeenth night, he is given like the reward of the prophets, and on the eighteenth night, an angel calls out: O servant of Allah, indeed Allah is pleased with you and your parents, and on the nineteenth night, Allah raises his degrees in al-Firdaus, and on the twentieth night, he is given the reward of the righteous martyrs, and on the twenty-first night, Allah builds for him a house in Paradise from light, and on the twenty-second night, the Day of Resurrection comes and he is safe from all worry and grief, and on the twenty-third night, Allah builds for him a city in Paradise, and on the twenty-fourth night, he has twenty-four answered supplications, and on the twenty-fifth night, Allah the Exalted removes from him
the punishment of the grave, and on the twenty-sixth night, Allah raises the reward of forty years, and on the twenty-seventh night, he crosses the Sirat on the Day of Resurrection like a flashing lightning, and on the twenty-eighth night, a thousand degrees are raised for him in Paradise, and on the twenty-ninth night, Allah gave him the reward of a thousand accepted Hajj, and on the thirtieth night, Allah says: O My servant, eat from the fruits of Paradise and bathe in the water of Salsabil, and drink from al-Kawthar, I am your Lord and you are My servant." My master: I encountered, among what I was reading from our brothers who write, those who say with their tongues what is not in our Sunnah and err, and indeed they may declare disbelief, and I seek refuge in Allah, and they present in their advice and sermons to those immersed in people, and they whisper the whisperer who whispers in the breasts of people, we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and from the bad deeds of ours, may Allah turn away from us the casting of trials in our hearts. Indeed, I borrowed, O my master, a book called: [Durat al-Nasihin] from a person I do not believe, and Allah knows best, that he has knowledge or understanding in matters of religion, and the author of the book is called: ( Uthman ibn Hasan ibn Ahmad al-Khubawi ). The author mentions that he is from the great city Constantinople , and some of what was mentioned in the introduction to this book: I took care in the book with the care of the generous King, and I arranged every verse with the organization of the Noble Qur'an, and I selected what indicated the descriptions of the Gardens and the Hellfire, and I appended some noble hadiths and pleasant stories about those who do the deed of the people of Lut from the wicked and the wicked woman, and I clarified what
is his affair in this world and the Hereafter, and whether the hadd or stoning is obligatory by analogy to the fornicator and the fornicatress, except that I seek from some of the intelligent, let alone the virtuous and the elders, to correct what I have erred in and to remove what arose from my oversight... etc. My master: What prompted me to write to you is my fear of Allah Mighty and Majestic, since I mentioned a hadith from this book, and my intention—and Allah knows—was to encourage prayer for some of my brothers and friends, may Allah guide me and you and them to what He loves and is pleased with. And I mentioned to your excellence the hadith in the text as it came in the book [Durat al-Nasihin] which I mentioned, and I appended to it other hadiths also narrated from my master the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I hope from Allah, then from your excellence, that you will illuminate my path, and is there a sin upon me in what I mentioned? May you be among the successful in this world and the Hereafter, and may He place you in the stations of the martyrs and the truthful, and may Allah reward you for me and for Islam and the Muslims with the best reward.
A: Both hadiths have no basis; rather, they are among the fabricated hadiths attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad, and his family and his Companions, and peace.
