What is the name of the cloud that shaded the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he was going to the Cave of Hira?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Among the proofs of the Prophet’s prophethood, and his miracles, was that a cloud used to shade him during his journey to Syria with his uncle Abu Talib. This was narrated by Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Hakim, and Ibn Abi Shaybah, and some scholars authenticated it while others deemed it weak. Biographers, such as Ibn Hisham and others, mentioned that two angels used to shade him. No name was mentioned for the cloud or mist, and nothing depends on that as long as the miracle is established.
