- Some people believe the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) to be a human being just like any other human being.
- The Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama'at believes that besides being
Noor (light), the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is a most
unique and perfect human being.
- The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is
"Rahmatul lil Alameen". He is the only creation of Allah Ta'ala who has
been given this title and no other creation can be given this title. Allah
Ta'ala says in the Holy Quran: "And I have not sent you but as Mercy unto the
Worlds". (Part 17 Ruku 7)
- The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) has stated: "Every Nabi only comes towards his people and I
have been sent unto all nations. I have been sent as a Messenger unto the entire
creation." (Mishkaat Shareef; Sahih Muslim Shareef)
- In the Holy Quran it has been stated that the women who
married the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are the most
unique women amongst all the women. If just by marrying the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
they are considered to be so great, then who
can compare or be more unique than the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam)?
- The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
said: "I am not like any one of you". (Tirmidhi; Sahih Bukhari)
- Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) said: "I have not
seen anybody similar to the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) either before
of after." (Tarikhe Kabeer; Tirmidhi Shareef)
- The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) stopped
his Sahaba from keeping continuous fasting without partaking in Sehri and
Iftaar. When the Sahaba-e-Ikram insisted that they also fast in the manner as
Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) kept his fasts, he told them:
"I am not like (similar to) you. I am given food and water." (Sahih Bukhari;
Sahih Muslim)
- None of the Sahaba-e-Ikram (radi Allahu anhum) ever
told Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) that he is a human being
like them, that he has two hands and feet like them, that he eats and drinks
like them and that he has wives and children like them.
- Concerning the blessed face of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa
(radi Allahu anha)
states: "I was sewing something at the time of Sehri and the needle fell
down. I searched very much for it, but it could not be found. Just then the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) entered and, through the brightness of
his face, I found the needle." (Khasaais Kubra; Al-Qaulul Badi'lisaqawi)
- The saliva of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) is not unclean nor does it cause any illness, but it is the cure
for illnesses.
- On the day of Khaibar, the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) put his blessed saliva into Hazrat Ali's (radi Allahu anhu) eyes and he was completely cured.
(Mishkaat Shareef; Masnade Imam
Ahmed)
- The well at Hazrat Alis house (radi Allahu anhu)
was very bitter. When the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) put
his saliva into the well, the water became so sweet that no water in the entire
of Madinah Munawwarah tasted sweeter than that. (Madarijun Nubuiwat; Anwaarul
Muhammadiyah)
- The blessed perspiration of Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) possessed a sweet smelling fragrance.
- Hazrat Umme Salim (radi Allahu anha), the mother
of Hazrat Anas (radi Allahu anhu), said that the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) used to go to the house of Hazrat Umme Salim (radi
Allahu anha) to make Qailula (rest after lunch). Hazrat Umme Salim (radi
Allahu anha) used to lay for him a bedspread made from skin. He used to lie
on that skin and he perspired very much. Hazrat Umme Salim (radi Allahu anha)
used to collect the blessed perspiration of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) and mix it in perfume. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) asked, "O Umme Salim! What is this?" She said, "Ya
Rasoolallah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! It is your blessed perspiration. I
mix it in my perfume because your blessed perspiration is the best perfume
amongst all perfumes." (Mishkaat Shareef; Bukhari Shareef)
- The blessed blood of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) is Paak (pure).
- During the Battle of Uhud, the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) was wounded. Hazrat Malik bin Sunaan (radi Allahu
anhu), the father of Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (radi Allahu anhu),
began to suck out the blood from the wound of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) and it began to look white. The Sahaba asked him to spit it
out. He refused to do so and said, "I swear by Allah that I will never spit
this blood out of my mouth." He then drank the blessed blood of the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) said, "Whichever one of you wishes to see a Jannati man,
you should look at him (Hadrat Malik bin Sunaan)". (Shifa Shareef; Madarijun
Nabuiwat)
- Hazrat Allama Ahmad Qistilaani (radi Allahu anhu),
the commentator of Bukhari Shareef, states: "Make yourself aware that the
physical body of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was created in
such a way that no one was created similar to him before and nor will their be
any one similar who will be born after him." (Muwahibul Ladaniyah)
- After examining the authentic narrations from
distinguished books, we see that the Aqeeda of the Sahaba-e-Ikram and of the
great Scholars was that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
is a unique human being and there is no one that is like him, equal or similar
to him. He is the most unique amongst the creation of Allah Taala.
