Ibn Abu Nujaih stated that Ibrahim Ibn Abu Bakir was informed by Mujahid who said, "It was said that Nun is '''the great whale who is underneath the seven Earths'''." Furthermore, Al-Baghawy – may Allah rest his soul - and a group of commentators stated that on the back of this whale there is a great rock whose thickness is greater than the width of the heavens and the earth and '''above this rock is a bull that has forty thousand horns. On the body of this bull are placed the seven earths and all that they contain''', and Allah knows best.}} | Ibn Abu Nujaih stated that Ibrahim Ibn Abu Bakir was informed by Mujahid who said, "It was said that Nun is '''the great whale who is underneath the seven Earths'''."

===Muhammad Husayn Haykal=== | |||
{{Quote|1=Haykal, Muhammad Husayn. ''The Life of Muhammad.'' 1933 |2=He (Gabriel) led a fantastical steed, Boraq, with a human head and two eagles' wings; it approached Mahomet, allowed him to mount and was off like an arrow over the mountains of Mecca and the sands of the desert toward the North... The Angel accompanied them on this prodigious flight. On the summit of Mt. Sinai, where God had spoken to Moses, Gabriel stopped Mahomet for prayer, and again at Bethlehem where Jesus was born, before resuming their course in the air. Mysterious voices attempted to detain the Prophet, who was so wrapped up in his mission that he felt God alone had the right to stop his steed. When they reached Jerusalem Mahomet tethered Boraq and prayed on the ruins of the Temple of Solomon with Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. '''Seeing an endless ladder appear upon Jacob's rock, the Prophet was enabled to mount rapidly to the heavens. The first heaven was of pure silver and the stars suspended from its vault by chains of gold;''' in each one an angel lay awake to prevent the demons from climbing into the holy dwelling places and the spirits from listening indiscreetly to celestial secrets. }} | |||
