Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it said that the self of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is like the selves of the Companions and others, or does he have a distinction that differs from others?
Answer:
And what is the point in speaking about the distinction of the self of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the self of others? The point is not in this. The point is regarding the permissibility of seeking nearness to Allah through the self. It is not permissible, neither through the self of the Prophet nor through the self of anyone else. Yes.
