The answer

The events mentioned concerning the birth of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, such as the falling of the balconies from the iwan of Kisra, the extinguishing of the Magian fire, and the drying up of Lake Sawa, are not established and have weak chains of transmission. It has been narrated that people learned of these events from eyewitnesses, such as Kisra, who sent to Al-Nu'man ibn Al-Mundhir to ask the soothsayer 'Abd Al-Masih ibn 'Amr about their secret. He, in turn, consulted Satih, who informed him of the advent of a prophet from Tihama and that the Persian kingdom would end after the number of fallen balconies.
