Hadiths About Preeminence Of The Prophet (saw)

Hadiths About preeminence of the Prophet (saw).

Abu Hurayra (ra) reported that … (When Allah’s Messenger learned that a man from the Ansar and a Jew were arguing about which prophet was superior) Allah’s Messenger (saw) became angry and signs of anger could be seen on his face, and then said, “Do not make distinction between the prophets of Allah.” (Muslim, al-Fadaʾil, 159)

According to Jabir b. ʿAbd Allah (ra), Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “I have been given five things which were not given to anyone of the prophets before me. These are: Allah made me victorious by awe (by Him frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month’s journey. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing with which to perform tayammum. Therefore, my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due. The booty has been made ḥalāl (lawful) for me (and was not made so for anyone else). Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I have been sent to all of mankind. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection.)” (al-Bukhari, al-Salat, 56; Muslim, al-Masajid, 3)

According to Abu Hurayra (ra), Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “My similarity in comparison with the other prophets before me is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its beauty, but say, ‘Would that this brick be put in its place!’ So I am that brick, and I am the last of the prophets.” (al-Bukhari, al-Manaqib, 18; Muslim, al-Fadaʾil, 23)

According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Prophet (saw) said, “Every prophet was given miracles whereby people believed, but what I have been given is Divine Inspiration which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other prophets on the Day of Resurrection.” (al-Bukhari, Fadaʾil al-Qurʾan, 1)
