Some angels came to the Prophet (ﷺ) (Muḥammad while he was sleeping. Some of them said, "He is sleeping ". Others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake." Then they said, "There is an example for this companion of yours. Then set forth an example for him." One of them said, "He is sleeping." Another said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake." Then they said, "His example is that of a man who built a house and then offered therein a banquet and sent an inviter (Messenger (ﷺ)) to invite the people. So whoever accepted the invitation of the inviter, entered the house and ate of the banquet, and whoever did not accept the invitation of the inviter, did not enter the house, nor did he eat of the banquet." Then the angels said, Interpret this parable to him so that he may understand it." One of them said, "He is sleeping." The others said, His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake " And then they said, "The house stands for Paradise and the call-maker is Muḥammad and whoever obeys Muḥammad, obeys Allâh; and whoever disobeys Muḥammad disobeys Allâh. Muhammad (ﷺ) separated the people (i.e., through his message, the good is distinguished from the bad, and the believers from the disbelievers)." [9:385-O.B]
