From Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The angels came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was asleep, and they said: "Your companion has an example, so strike an example for him." Some of them said: "He is asleep." Some of them said: "His eyes are asleep, but his heart is awake." They said: "His example is like a man who built a house, placed a banquet in it, and sent an inviter. Whoever answered the call entered the house and ate from the banquet, and whoever did not answer the call did not enter the house and did not eat from the banquet." They said: "Interpret this for him so that he may understand it." Some of them said: "He is asleep." Some of them said: "His eyes are asleep, but his heart is awake." They said: "The house is Paradise, and the inviter is Muhammad (peace be upon him). Whoever obeys Muhammad (peace be upon him) has obeyed Allah, and whoever disobeys Muhammad (peace be upon him) has disobeyed Allah. Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the distinction between the people."

ف: حضور محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرق کرنے والے ہیں کہ فرق کردیا کافر اور مومن میں، حق اور باطل میں، صالح اور ⟦?⟧ میں، کھانے سے مراد بہشت کی نعمتیں ہیں اور شخص سے مراد اللہ تعالیٰ ہیں، یہ دونوں باتیں بالکل ظاہر تھیں اس لئے فرشتوں نے ان کی وضاحت نہیں کی۔12
