Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says his question is similar to that one. He says: Some people claim that the messengers were sent only for the sake of good morals, citing his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan al-Bayhaqi 18:249 or “to perfect the morals.” How is the answer to this?
Answer:
First, there is discussion regarding this hadith; scholars have spoken about it. Second, since there is discussion about it, it is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger was sent to guide people to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and to the creed, not to morals alone. Yes.
