It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When I was taken up on the Mi'raj to the seventh heaven, I was taken to Sidrat al-Muntaha. I saw that its leaves were like the ears of elephants and its fruits were like qilal (large earthen jars). Then, when that (light and radiance) by the command of Allah which was to cover it covered it, its state changed such that no one of Allah's creation has the ability to describe its beauty. Then Allah Almighty revealed to me what He revealed."
