Sana'i's Portrayal of the Prophet's Superiority Over Gabriel in the Mi'raj
In Section 17 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sana'i describes the Prophet Muhammad's Mi'raj (ascension) with a focus on his superiority over the Archangel Gabriel. As they reach the celestial limit, Gabriel stops, explaining that if he advances even a finger's breadth, he will be consumed by the divine light. The Prophet's ability to transcend this ultimate angelic boundary and proceed into the direct presence of God highlights the supreme spiritual rank of the Prophet, placing him above even the highest celestial beings.
