I think tintingz attributes literal values to some of those ahadith where Nabi {saw} reported to have cited Yunus {as}.

He's simply humbling himself by that statement.

If you see a rich man, muqadam, imam, sheik, waliy etc telling everyone to praise him, he's must be arrogant fellow and should be avoided.

Absolutely.

# Nabi also highlights his superiority over other Messengers thus:

Imam Muslim documents:

Yaḥyā b. Yaḥyā – Hushaym – Sayyār – Yazīd al-Faqīr – Jābir b. ‘Abd Allāh al-Anṣārī:

The Messenger of Allāh, peace be upon him, said: “I have been given five things which were never given to anyone before me. Every prophet was sent to HIS PEOPLE ONLY, while I have been sent to every red person and every black person"

Muhammed message being the final makes him superior, the fact that Musa would follow his message makes Muhammad superior, the fact that Muhammad's message was to the whole world, both mankind and jinn while that of Moses was to bani israaeel makes Muhammad superior, the list goes on.
There are high ranked Prophets in the Quran and I didn't say Muhammad (SA) is not superior. The Quran didn't specify on one prophet to be Superior and didn't make distintion between the Prophets and Muhammad didn't either, He(SA) forbade us from saying it.

I don't know why you guys are saying the hadith i quoted was not referring to superiority.

I don't know what you mean by brag, but the prophet clearly Musa would be his follower, alright ever heard of the hadith where Muhammad led all the messengers in prayer including Musa? That was when he embarked on the jorney of israa, What does that tell you?
You should know brag means boasting, to boast about something.

Ever heard of the hadith Muhammad (SA) was asking advice from Moses(as) about solat? a superior shouldn't be asking an advice from someone that would have be his follower.

I have explained this severally, they are the same incase of prophet hood, all Prophets do not commit major sins, their bodies can't be eaten by the soil even if they are buried, they all won't be questioned in their graves, they all cannot fall into shirk, the list goes on, so these are what we mean by prophet hood, in this case they have the same favours!
What about their rank?

You told me not to misinterprets hadiths in a thread, I'm doing that. cheesy wink



And what does it proof?
Something like this:

Anas ibn Malik reported: A person came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, “O best of creation!” So the Prophet said:

That is Abraham, upon him be peace.

Source: Sahih Muslim 2369, Grade: Sahih

No misinterpretation.

Then they are the all the same in this aspect.
Okies.

How do you explain Muhammad(sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) leading the messengers in salaah? To me this is the most glaring proof.

Don't kings ask subjects for advice? Does that reduce the superiority of the king?

There is difference btw twisting and interpreting text.

That means you would take literally verses where Allah described those with black faces will go to hell and those with white faces will go to paradise. Taking it literally suggests that ALL black people everywhere are hell-bound including great Ulama amongst them. And ALL White people are going to paradise regardless. I hail thee.

Also, you would take literally where sacred text says those who are blind in this world will be blind in Afterlife.

The question is how many times did Moses(as) sent Muhammad (SA) back for reduction of solah? At the end when it gotten to 5, Nabi(SA) was shy to go back for reduction.

so how do you explain Muhammad(sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) leading the messengers in salaah?
Sir, I didn't say Muhammad (SA) is not superior, my point here is since Muhammad forbade us from saying it why should I say it.

There are verses in the bible that portray Jesus(as) to be superior than all Prophets. I think this were also the reasons Muhammad (SA) forbade us from making a prophet superior than others but that doesn't mean Muhammad is not superior likewise other high ranked prophets (as).

This literalism really got me laughing about a Yoruba movie. Two(2) stooges took bible verses literally and they got beat up.

The first guy met a pastor for success. Pastor advised him to be patient and that "God's time is the best".

The guy understood "the best" but he attributed God with church and time with traditional wall clock with time. So he went to the church and stole the watch. He was nabbed immediately upon exiting the church. When asked why he did that, he said pastor told him "God's time is the best" grin grin grin


The second stooge was in the church and carefully listened to pastor. Pastor quoted this bible verse:


"Cast your bread (food) upon the waters, for you will find it after many days." ◄ Ecclesiastes 11:1 ►


He went to a local store and stole a bag of rice worths #aira8000 from sales girl. Owner called police to search for him but he already went to nearby river, opened bag of rice and tossed it on the water. His partner asked what happens now?. He said "we wait here and the rice would come out boiled everywhere multiplied".

While waiting at the river, store owner and police cornered them and they served jail time.

No, the question is, if Muhammad had refused from the starting, is there anything Musa could do?

Sir, I didn't say Muhammad (SA) is not superior, my point here is since Muhammad forbade us from saying it why should I say it.

Since you now agree that Muhammad is superior, the most glaring reason being that he is the Imam of other messengers, then I'm done, that was why i came to the thread in the first place.

I have no business with the bible....

I have said this severally, they are the same in ptophethood and the prophet forbade us saying contrary to that, perhaps you don't understand, all the ahadeeth the prophet talked about prophets being the same used the word "Prophets" never have i seen a hadith that said "all messengers are the Same" there is a difference, which proves that the prophet was referring to prophethood, but if you have such hadith bring it.

No where I said Muhammad is not superior in the first place, you can go and read back my posts. What am saying is that the Quran didn't specify on one prophet to be superior than others the Quran make use of pluralism when talking about the exalted prophets.

Didn't the Quran said Ibrahim is the imam of all nation, he's Allah's friend? Should i say he's superior than other prophets? NO.. Nabi does not like it.

Yes you have because the reasons of "make no distinction" in the Quran and Hadith are because the Jews and Christians do so.

Was Musa(as) not a messenger? prophet Muhammad said he's not better than Moses. Messagers are also prophets, the hadith talked about both prophet and messager

The hadith talk about a Jew boasting about a prophet and he got slapped, they took the matter to the prophet and he got angry after hearing what happened then he said "I am not better than moses and do not make a prophet better than another" he even said he's not better than Jonah.

Now today we see Muslims, Christians, Jews boasting and making prophet better than another which the prophet condemned.

So it is prescribed to write the blessing in full so as to fulfil the command that Allaah has given to us, and so that the reader will remember to say the blessing when he reads it. So we should not write the blessing on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in short form such as writing (S) or (SAWS) etc, or other forms that some writers use, because that is going against the command of Allaah in His Book, where He says (interpretation of the meaning): “Send your Salaah on (ask Allaah to bless) him (Muhammad), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islamic way of greeting (salutation, i.e. As‑Salaamu ‘Alaykum)” [al-Ahzaab 33:56] And that (writing it in abbreviated form) does not serve that purpose and is devoid of the virtue of writing “salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa salaam (May Allaah send blessings and peace upon him)” in full.

All Muslims 95%(not accurate) on internet knows what "S.A.W, A.S. P.B.U.H" means even many non-muslims.

If it is an article it is understandable to write it fully but here we're posting comments, you don't expect someone to write it fully every time he or she wants to mention the Prophets. When a brother abbreviates I already know what it meant.

# Haba abok.i grin

# We ONLY talk in respect to 50 salats where Nabi Musa alayhi salam is being said to have continuously adviced Nabi Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa ahli, wa salim, to request that the salat be shorten till 5 daily salat.

# Believe in Isra wal miraj in both spiritual and bodily form of Nabi is Wahjib in Shi'i beliefs.

grin grin Imagine NL dictionary faah: It translate and showed "âboki" as "northerners". That's silly.
I hope they dont get mad for calling them Abok.i. Sounds like derogatory phrase cheesy just like calling White people redneck or African Americans n!gga grin they get upset

From ur logic, we can spell rasullullaah's name as 'Muhd' bcuz some ppl abbreviated it to dat, and u undastnd it? That is an insult to the messenger of Allaah. SAW,AS and odas r insult to him and odas like him, bcuz a broda abbrv, and u understood it, does that make it good?!? Also, as muslims, we shud strive hard to earn the pleasure of Allaah, by sending salawat to d rasullullaah, we shouldn't be too lazy to do it, even in written and all. Don't justify claims like dis, u can't spell it full, YOU can't spell it full niiiii, but don't justify ur claim which is wrong akhee. The aforementioned fatwas explains itself perfectly well...wallaahu must'an.
