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.

Quran 50:1 says "''Qaf''. I swear by the glorious Koran!" but the book never explains what ''Qaf'' is.
{{Quote|[[w:Al-Tha'alibi|Al-Tha’alabi]], c.961-1035 A.D., ''Arais al-Majalis'' (a Qisas Al-Anbiya collection), pp. 7-8|“Allah, highly exalted, created a great mountain of a green chrysolite, to which the sky owes its greenness. It is called Mount Qaf, and it encompasses all the earth. It is by this mountain that Allah swore when He said, ‘Qaf by the glorious Qur’an.”}}
{{Quote|Abd al-Wahhab al-Najjar, ''Qisas al-Anbiya'', p.5.|“Abdallah Ibn Salam inquired of Muhammad, saying, ‘What is the highest peak in the world?’ Muhammad said, ‘It is Mount Qaf.’ He asked, ‘And what is it?’ Muhammad said, ‘It is of green chrysolite, to which the sky owes its greenness.’ He said, ‘You have spoken the truth, Messenger of God. And what is the height of Mount Qaf?’ Muhammad answered, ‘It is a journey of five hundred years!’ He asked him further, ‘How long does it take a man to cover its circumference?’ He answered, ‘It is a journey of two thousand years.” }}
