Surah An-Najm

By the star when it descends,

Your companion [i.e., Muḥammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

It is not but a revelation revealed,

Taught to him by one intense in strength [i.e., Gabriel] -

One of soundness.1 And he rose to [his] true form2

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.1

Then he approached and descended

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

And he revealed to His Servant1 what he revealed [i.e., conveyed].

The heart1 did not lie [about] what it saw.

So will you dispute with him over what he saw?

And he certainly saw him in another descent1

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -

Near it is the Garden of Refuge [i.e., Paradise] -

When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].1

The sight [of the Prophet (ﷺ)] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit].

He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.

So have you considered al-Lāt and al-ʿUzzā?

And Manāt, the third - the other one?1
