    121. Had it not been the Prophet possessing revelation, then how would I have known the information about the heavenly worlds which had taken place before the creation of man, because the information about these incidents cannot be obtained from history, newspapers, or any such sources.

    However. I have full knowledge about them, with which I am acquainting you. This proves beyond any doubt that I am a true Prophet and possessor of revelation

    122. By the heavenly world is meant the angels. and by their quarreling is meant saying to Allah Almighty. This tells us that it is not improper for the beloved servants of Allah Almighty to quarrel with him. In fact, it is to bear with their fancies (Tafseer Roohul Muani).

     Some commentators have stated that hy quarreling of the angels denotes quarreling among themselves regarding taking some of the good deeds of people as is stated in the Hadith: "I have seen my Lord in the most beautiful countenance. My Lord asked me Oh Muhammad, what are the angels quarreling about?" I replied, Oh Lord! You Know to be about it. Allah Almighty then placed His hand of kindness upon my chest, whose effect found in my heart. As a result of this everything between the heavens and the earth came within my sphere of knowledge.

    Allah Almighty again asked 'Now tell me regarding what are the angels quarreling? I replied, matters of Kaffaarat or overcoming shortcomings" 

    These include remaining behind in the mosque for a little while after completion of the Salaah, walking to the mosque for congregational prayer, to perform proper wudhu during winter. Such a person's life will be good as well as his death and he will be purified from all his sins (Darami, Tirmis Khazainul Irfaan).
