May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that one should not belittle the lesser when comparing the ranks of the prophets. Do we apply this principle to the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), the Successors, and the divine scholars who came after them?
Answer:
It applies to all believers, so that no believer is belittled. What can be said about the Companions, and what can be said about the prophets?
