EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS THAT ACCOMPANIED THE BIRTH OF THE PROPHET
By: Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq
1. Destroyed the army with elephants who wanted to attack the Kaaba.
2. The falling of idols on the side of the Kaaba.
3. The extinguishing of the fire worshiped by the magi which had never been extinguished before for 1000 years.
4. The collapse of several balconies of the Kisra palace.
5. Collapse of churches around Buhairah.
6. The emergence of a star which the scribes call 'Ahmad's star'.
7. Preventing Jin and Satan from being able to ascend to the sky like before.
8. Aminah's mother did not feel the burden of pregnancy and pain during childbirth.
9. A light came out between Aminah's legs at the birth of the Prophet ﷺ which illuminated the sky until the palace in Bushra was visible.
10. When he was born, the Prophet moved his index finger as if he was performing tasbih/praying.
11. He was born circumcised, although there are erroneous opinions on this matter.
12. Halimah's vehicle, which was previously weak, became strong and agile when carrying the Prophet's baby to be breastfed.
Apart from that, there are several weak narrations mentioned in Ni'matul Kubra about miraculous events such as the presence of Hawa, Asiyah, Sarah and Maryam when Aminah gave birth. Dream of meeting Ibrahim, and the arrival of a group of angels.
The Prophet ﷺ was indeed human like us, but he was a chosen human being. So some scholars said about his condition "You are human, but not like an ordinary human being."
اللهم صل وسلم وبارك عليه وعلى اله وصحبه.

Oleh : Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq
1. Dihancurkannya tentara bergajah yang hendak menyerang Ka’bah.
2. Tersungkurnya berhala-berhala di sisi Ka’bah.
3. Padamnya api sesembahan majusi yang tidak pernah padam sebelumnya selama 1000 tahun.
4. Runtuhnya beberapa balkon istana Kisra.
5. Runtuhnya gereja-gereja di sekitar Buhairah.
6. Keluarnya sebuah bintang yang disebut oleh ahli kitab dengan ‘bintang Ahmad’.
7. Tercegahnya Jin dan setan untuk bisa naik ke langit seperti sebelumnya.
8. Ibundda Aminah tidak merasakan beban saat hamil dan sakit saat melahirkan.
9. Keluarnya cahaya antara kedua kaki Aminah saat lahirnya Rasulullah ﷺ yang menyemburat menerangi langit hingga tampaklah istana di Bushra.
10. Saat lahir baginda Nabi meggerakkan jari telunjuknya seakan sedang bertasbih/berdoa.
11. Beliau lahir dalam keadaan telah di khitan, meski ada khilaf pendapat tentang masalah ini.
12. Kendaraan halimah yang tadinya lemah, berubah kuat dan lincah saat membawa bayi Rasulullah untuk disusukan.
Selain itu ada beberapa riwayat yang lemah disebutkan dalam Ni’matul Kubra tentang peristiwa-peristiwa ajaib seperti hadirnya Hawa, Asiyah, sarah dan Maryam saat Aminah melahirkan. Mimpi bertemu Ibrahim, dan datangnya rombongan malaikat.
Rasulullah ﷺ memang manusia seperti kita, namun beliau adalah manusia pilihan. Sehingga sebagian ulama mengungkapkan tentang keadaan beliau "Engkau manusia, tapi bukan seperti manusia biasa."
اللهم صل وسلم وبارك عليه وعلى اله وصحبه.
