Conquest of the Entire World
Amina narrates that when the Prophet was born at my place, I saw a large piece of cloud from which the sounds of horses neighing, wings fluttering, and people speaking were coming. That piece of cloud overshadowed the child. And the child disappeared from my sight. However, the voices of announcers were heard saying that Muhammad should be taken around countries and seas so that the entire world recognizes his name and sign, and he should be presented before jinn and humans, beasts and birds, angels, and indeed every living soul. Grant him the creation of Adam (peace be upon him), the knowledge of Seth (peace be upon him), the bravery of Noah (peace be upon him), the friendship of Abraham (peace be upon him), the language of Ishmael (peace be upon him), the contentment of Isaac (peace be upon him), the eloquence of Saleh (peace be upon him), the wisdom of Lot (peace be upon him), the firmness of Moses (peace be upon him), the patience of Job (peace be upon him), the obedience of Jonah (peace be upon him), the struggle of Elisha (peace be upon him), the voice of David (peace be upon him), the love of Daniel (peace be upon him), the dignity of Elijah (peace be upon him), the chastity of John (peace be upon him), and the asceticism of Jesus (peace be upon him). And immerse him in the morals of all the prophets.
Amina says then this vision disappeared. Then I saw that you were wrapped in green silk, and water was dripping from it. A voice came: Yes, Muhammad has conquered the entire world. And there is no creature left who has not come under his obedience. She says then I saw that your face was like the moon on the fourteenth night, and a pure musk fragrance was emanating from you. Suddenly, three men appeared. One had a silver basin in his hand. The second had a green emerald basin. And the third had white silk. He unfolded the white silk and took out a ring that dazzled the eyes upon seeing it. First, he washed the ring seven times with the water from the silver basin. Then he stamped it on the forehead and wrapped the child in his arms for a while. And then he returned me back.

Research on Hadith:

The basis of this narration is that Qastalani has quoted it from a book on Milad named Al-Sa’adah wal-Bushra in Mawahib al-Ladunniyyah.
The author of Al-Sa’adah wal-Bushra says that he took this narration from Al-Khatib.
Regarding the authenticity of Al-Khatib’s history, no one knows its status.
Qastalani has also attributed this narration to Abu Nu’aym, but there is no evidence of this in the printed edition of Abu Nu’aym.
The fortunate thing is that Hafiz Qastalani himself has clarified that there are severe weaknesses in it.
