Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the status of companionship with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) apply to 'Isa (peace be upon him) because he met him on the night of the Isra and Mi'raj? And does this imply that he combined prophethood and companionship?
Answer:
Those who met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were not just 'Isa on the night of the Isra; all the prophets were led in prayer by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It was not only 'Isa; he met all the prophets, he met Musa, and he met all the prophets, and he led them in prayer (peace and blessings be upon him). But these were special meetings; they were not meetings in this world. These were special meetings, and they are not considered Companions. They are considered prophets, and prophets are better than Companions. Prophets are better than Companions. Yes.
