The Claim of Telephonic Contact with the Prophet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a Sufi man appeared on one of the satellite channels claiming to be the Shaykh of the Haqqaniyyah order, and stating that he contacts the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by telephone.
The Shaykh:
An Indian cameraman has a phone. Get his number. Yes.
The questioner:
And that he gives him commands and prohibitions. What is the ruling on this man?
The Shaykh:
He has a phone with Satan. And Satan says, "I am the Prophet." This exists; the Shayatins (devils) disguise themselves and say to their awliya (close friends of Allah), "We are the Prophet, I am so-and-so, I am Ahmad ibn Hanbal, I am Malik, I am Abu Hanifah," and they tell them to confuse the people.
