Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: Is there evidence in the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, “Have you not heard the words of the righteous servant,” that Luqman was not a prophet?
Answer:
Yes, to my knowledge, no one has said that he was a prophet. He was a righteous servant.[Luqman 31:12] So Luqman was a righteous servant to whom Allah granted wisdom, which is understanding and knowledge. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, to my knowledge, no one has said that he was a prophet. He was a righteous servant.
And We had certainly given Luqman wisdom [and said], "Be grateful to Allah."
