Divine signs at the time of the Milad of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)

Even the Ka’aba was expressing happiness on the coming of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam):   Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Amr bin Qutaibah says:  I heard my father say and he was a great reservoir of knowledge that when the time of the birth of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) came near, Almighty Allah ordered His angels to open all the doors of all the heavens and to open the doors of paradise as well.  Then they should present themselves on earth and start congratulating each other.  The mountains raised themselves further.  The waves of the sea grew even higher.  The creation of the oceans and seas started congratulating each other.  All the angels had come.  Satan was chained with 70 chains and he was cast face-down in the ocean.  Devils and rebellious genie were chained.  That day the sun was adorned with great radiance and 70,000 damsels were stood above it.  They waited for the birth of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  Almighty Allah decreed for all women that year that they would be all blessed with a son.  All the trees were laded with fruits and every fear was replaced with solace.  When the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was born, the whole world became radiant and the angels started congratulating each other.  On each heaven, a pillar of precious stones was raised, due to which the sky became radiant.  That pillar is well known in the highest heavens (Mala-e-A’ala) which the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) saw during the heavenly journey of Meraj.  He was told that this is the pillar which was raised in honor of your birth.  On the night of His birth, Almighty Allah planted 1000 fragrant trees on the side of Houz-e-Kauthar.  Their fruit was made fragrance for the dwellers of paradise.  The dwellers of all the spiritual realms started supplicating for safety.  All idols prostrated.  Laat and ‘Uzza came out of their places and were saying:  ……The Trustworthy Prophet has come.  The True One has come to them.  The Quraish doesn’t realize what distinction has it been granted.  For days after it, people heard a voice from the Ka’aba.  It was saying:  Now my radiance will be returned to me.  Now those who circumambulate (perform Tawaf) will come to me.  Now, I will be cleaned of the filth of the days of ignorance.  O ‘Uzza!  You are finished.  The Ka’aba swayed for 3 days and 3 nights.  This was the first sign that the Quraish saw on the occasion of the birth of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  (Khasaais-e-Kubra, Vol. 1, Pg. No. 80)   Hadhrat ‘Abdul Muttalib says:  I heard a voice from the walls of the Ka’aba:  The Master of the Universe has been born.  His very presence will dispel the darkness of disbelief.  He will purify the world and will invite people towards the One Lord Almighty.  (As Seeratul Halabiyya, Vol. 1, Pg. No. 86)
