Question:
His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:[Al-Ahzab 33:40] Is this verse evidence that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) will never be the father of any man?
Answer:
He has children, (peace and blessings be upon him), so he is the father of his children, but he is not the father of anyone other than his children. Yes, this is a response to those who say that Zayd ibn Harithah is the son of the Messenger. They call him the son of the Messenger. Yes, he is only a client, a client of the Messenger, a freed slave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), a servant of the Messenger. Yes.
