There were many, but we shall mention a few examples which became famous, have been accepted by the authorities on Hadiths whose authenticity have been established.

The First: On the night of the Prophet’s birth, both his mother, and the mothers of ‘Uthman b. al-‘As and ‘Abd al-Rahman b. ‘Awf, who were with her, saw a brilliant, widely scattered light, about which they said: “At the time of his birth we saw such a light that it lit up the east and the west for us.”(366)

The Second : That night most of the idols in the Ka‘ba toppled over and fell to the ground.(367)

The Third: That night the famous aywan of Chosroes’ palace shook and cracked apart, and its fourteen pinnacles collapsed.(368)

The Fourth: That night the small lake of Saveh which was considered to be holy, sank into the ground,(369) and at Istakhrabad the fire which, burning continuously for a thousand years, the Zoroastrians had worshipped, was extinguished.(370)
