- " رفعت لي سدرة المنتهى في السماء السابعة نبقها مثل قلال هجر وورقها مثل آذان الفيلة يخرج من ساقها نهران ظاهران ونهران باطنان، فقلت: يا جبريل ما هذان؟ قال: أما الباطنان ففي الجنة وأما الظاهران فالنيل والفرات ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "For me, the Sidrat al-Muntaha was raised to the seventh heaven. Its fruits (in shape) were like the water jars of the region of Hajar, and its leaves were like the ears of elephants (very large). From its trunk, two visible and two hidden rivers were gushing forth. I said: O Jibril! What are these two rivers? He said: The hidden rivers are going to Paradise, and the visible rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates." __QUR_N__ __XREF_N__ __REF_N__
