We continued on towards the higher heaven. In the sixth heaven I saw a very tall man whose body was covered in hair, such that if he were to wear a shirt, the hair would come out of it.
The
man said, "The Bani Isra'il say that I am the best of the children of
Islam in the sight of Allah
I
greeted him and prayed for his forgiveness; he replied to my greeting and
prayed for my forgiveness. In this place as well, Angels in humility and
humbleness were busy praising Allah

, however this man, the Noble Prophet
of Islam 
is
much better and beneficent in the sight of Allah 
than I am."
, just as in the previous heavens.
