The miracles related to the companions of the prophet

A. The story of the two men whose sticks lit the way for them:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Anas who said: “Once two men from the companions of the Prophet went out of the house of the Prophet on a very dark night. They took with them two things that resembled lamps lighting the way in front of them, and when they parted, each of them had those two things (lamps) till they reached their homes “

Imâm ‘Abdur-Razzâq narrated on the authority of Anas who said that: “Usaid Ibn Hudair5¹ and ‘Abbâd Ibn Bishr52 went to the Prophet to ask him about something. By the time they went out of the house of the Prophet it was nighttime, and it was a very dark night. Each had a stick in his hand, and the stick of one of them lit the way for them and they walked accompanied by its light. When they parted, the other stick started also to light the way for the other one, and so each of them continued to walk in the light of his stick until they reached their homes”.

B. The man whose fingers lit the way for him:

mâm al-Bukhârî narrated in his book “at-Târîkh the History)”, on the authority of ‘Amro al-Aslami53 who said: “We were with the Prophet on a very dark night. When we parted, my fingers lit up, so that even the people who were with me, gathered their riding animals, depending on their light”.
