One of the famous incident which occurred in his lifetime is that once there was gathering inside the masjid on the night of Milad-un-Nabi, Sallal lahu alaihi wa sallam, someone asked the imam about the prophet's ascension to heaven with the body or only his soul was taken. The imam immediately passed through the wall of the masjid and went the other side and came back and told the gathering that when he being the servant of the Holy Prophet Sallal-lahu-alaihi-wa-sallam can pass through a wall without any difficulty then why can't the Holy Prophet, Imams of the Prophets, ascend to the heavens with his holy Body.
