Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, was Luqman (peace be upon him) a prophet or not?
Answer:
A righteous servant. Luqman was a righteous servant and not a prophet. Allah granted him wisdom, meaning jurisprudence, wisdom, jurisprudence. Allah granted him jurisprudence, and this is a great distinction, as the Exalted said: "And whoever is granted wisdom"[Al-Baqarah 2:269] and that is jurisprudence in the religion of Allah, in the speech of Allah, and in the speech of His Messenger. He was not a prophet, but rather a righteous servant, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34:1318 the righteous servant.
