The Birth of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam....
.
Uthmaan Ibn Abi Al Aas narrated,
My mother narrated to me that she was present during Amina's delivery, the night she gave birth to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
.
She said, Wherever I looked in the house, I saw nothing but Noor (divine light), and verily, I looked towards the stars, coming closer, until It seemed that they were going to fall on me. Then, when she gave birth, light shone from her which illuminated the house and compound, until I could see nothing but Noor.
.
Many incidents have been narrated regarding the birth of Rasulullah PBUH.
His birth was a blessing for humanity as a whole.
So whatever amazing incidents are narrated are highly possible.
.
The composer of Qaseedah Burdah says:
.
His birth revealed the purity of his nature.. (PBUH)
How fine his origin, how pure his final end! (PBUH)
.
That day the Persians sensed
that they had been forewarned of the descent of defeats and retribution.
.
.
By night the Arch of Kisra split asunder.
Likewise his horde, never to be restore.
The sacred fire breathed its last from sorrow.
Out of anxiety, the Euphrates lost its way.
.
.
Saawa endured the drying of its lake.
The thirsty who sought water there returned in rage.
.
.
As though fire itself, from grief, was as wet as water;
while water blazed like fire.
.
.
Jinn called out, lights shone, dazzling.
Truth was made manifest in word and in fact.

However, Blind and deaf were they, so the good news announced went unheard,While the lighting-flash of warning went unseen.
.
.
This even though the diviners had advised their people
That their crooked religion could no longer stand.

.
And even though their eyes beheld on the horizon great meteors falling,
as idols toppled on earth.
.

Until the shayateen fled from the path of wahy (divine revelation) in a defeated state, one following the other.
.
.
Fleeing like the Warriors of Abraha;
Or like a army pelted with pebbles from his hand. (In badr)
.

The poetry indicates towards some incidents reported at the birth:
.
1. The earth shook in Persia and 14 pillars in the palace of Kisra fell to the ground.
Maybe an indication that the dynasty will last for 14 emperors.
The dynasty was overthrown during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar radiallahu anhu.
.
2. The fire which they had been worshipping and was kindled in the palace day and night by special attendants, extinguished all of a sudden.
This worried them.
A sign that fire worship will be eradicated by the advent of the final prophet.

3. The lake Saawa's water sunk in to the earth.
Yet another sign for huge events to take place.

.
4. The jinns began to cry out to their counterparts from human beings (the soothsayers) that the heavenly matters are being shaken.
They are struggling to go up there to eves drop on the conversation of the Angels.
The fortune tellers like Sateeh warned them of events to unfold.
.
5. The Satans began to be shot by the shooting stars.
A precaution taken to protect the wahy (revelation) from any interference of the shayateen.
.
In short, there were signs in every major part of the world.
.
Hassan Ibn Thaabit Radiallahu Anhu says:
I still remember I was a young boy in Madina shareef, when a Jew started screaming that the star of Ahmed has appeared last night, Prophethood has gone away from the children of Israeel
(Suyooti in al Khasaais)
