Sana'i's Depiction of the Prophetic Mission (Bi'that) in Section 14 of Hadiqat al-Haqiqah
In Section 14 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sana'i describes the prophetic mission (Bi'that) of Muhammad. He contrasts the Prophet's lack of worldly power—describing him without a material crown or throne—with his immense spiritual authority, stating that awe (ru'b) was his army and the ascension (Mi'raj) his steed. The verses emphasize the Prophet's perfected character, anchored in divine forbearance (hilm) and knowledge (ilm). Furthermore, Sana'i illustrates the Archangel Gabriel's deference to the Prophet, noting Gabriel's appearance in human form (such as Dihya al-Kalbi) out of reverence, as Muhammad ushered in and established the divine law (Sharia).
