THE BLESSED BODY OF THE HOLY PROPHET sallallahu alaih wasallam

It is reported from Hadrat Kaab Ahbaar radi Allahu anhu, "When Allah subhan wa ta'ala intended to create the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaih wasallam (His Physical Body), He ordered Hadrat Jibraeel alaihis salaam to go to the heart of the earth and bring sand from its elegance and Noor."
(Al Urfaa bi Ahwaalill-Mustafa, Volume 1, Page 34 by Allamah Ibn Jauzi)

Accompanied by the Angels of Jannatul Firdous and the seventh heaven, Hadrat Jibraeel alaihis salaam came to the earth and took a handful of sand from the area of Rasulullah's b Qabr Shareef. The sand was extremely white and radiant. This sand was kneaded with the pure water of Tasneem from the rivers of Jannah until it became like a bright pearl with intense rays of splendour. The angels then displayed it throughout the heavens, earth, mountains and oceans. Hence, the angels and all creation recognized our Beloved Prophet Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaih wasallam before they recognized Hadrat Adam alaihis salaam.

It is reported that when Allah subhan wa ta'ala created Hadrat Adam alaihis salaam, He inspired him to ask, "O Allah, why did You keep my kunniyat (filial appellation) Abu Muhammad (The father of Muhammad sallallahu alaih wasallam)? Allah subhan wa ta'ala ordered Nabi Adam alaihis salaam to raise his head. When he raised his head, he saw the Noor of Muhammad sallallahu alaih wasallam on the Arsh and around it. Nabi Adam alaihis salaam asked, "What is this Noor?" and Allah subhan wa ta'ala explained, "This is the Noor of the Nabi who will be from your children. His name in the Heavens is Ahmad and Muhammad sallallahu alaih wasallam on the earth. If he was not created, I would not have created you, I would not have created the heavens or the earth."

Another narration states that when Hadrat Adam alaihis salaam saw the name "Muhammad" (sallallahu alaih wasallam) written on the Arsh, Allah subhan wa ta'ala said to Him, "If it was not for Muhammad (sallallahu alaih wasallam), I would not have created you." (Mustadrak Haakim, Volume 2, Page 615)
