Hadith 5759
وَعَن العِرْباض بن ساريةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنِّي عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَكْتُوبٌ: خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَإِنَّ آدَمَ لِمُنْجَدِلٌ فِي طِينَتِهِ وَسَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَوَّلِ أَمْرِي دَعْوَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبِشَارَةُ عِيسَى وَرُؤْيَا أُمِّي الَّتِي رَأَتْ حِينَ وَضَعَتْنِي وَقَدْ خَرَجَ لَهَا نُورٌ أَضَاءَ لَهَا مِنْهُ قُصُورُ الشَّامِ «. وَرَاه فِي» شرح السّنة
Al- `Irbad b. Sariya reported God's messenger as saying, "I was inscribed in God's presence as the seal of the prophets when Adam was prone in his basic substance. I shall inform you about the beginning of my career:it was the petition of Abraham, the good tidings by Jesus, and the vision my mother saw when she gave birth to me and a light issued to her from which the castles of Syria shone for her." It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna.
