Question:
The Shaykh (may Allah grant you success) was asked: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2219Sahih (Darussalam) Is this number meant to be exclusive, or is it merely to indicate a large number?
Answer:
Allah knows best. It is their right, because these are the most prominent among them, meaning they claim prophethood and no one follows them, or they are insane, meaning there are people who are mad, whose intellect is acceptable, who claim prophethood not out of intent, but out of delusion. They have nothing, they do not know, and they do not calculate. Yes.
