It's isnad is reliable and it's matn is enlightening. Especially now that we know of the passage in Isaiah that basically prophesised the first encounter of Rasulullah(Sall-Allahu alaihi wa salaam) with the angel of Gibril(alaihi salaam). Add in the account of Waraqas reaction after being informed of Rasulullahs first encounter and testifies to his scholarly knowledge of the scriptures Isaiah 29:12 And the book is delivered to he who is not learned saying, read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. To grasp the prophethood of our beloved by this prophesy of him and the report given to him without having to consult those pages reflect his keen understanding and familiarity. Assalaamu alaikum,

We don’t want to discount the report concerning Waraqa, lightly or for mere convienance. It’s isnad is reliable and it’s matn is enlightening. Especially now that we know of the passage in Isaiah that basically prophesised the first encounter of Rasulullah(Sall-Allahu alaihi wa salaam) with the angel of Gibril(alaihi salaam). Add in the account of Waraqas reaction after being informed of Rasulullahs first encounter and testifies to his scholarly knowledge of the scriptures
Isaiah 29:12 And the book is delivered to he who is not learned saying, read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

To grasp the prophethood of our beloved by this prophesy of him and the report given to him without having to consult those pages reflect his keen understanding and familiarity.
