Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding Luqman: is he a prophet or a wise man among the wise?
Answer:
No one has said that Luqman is a prophet. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Have you not seen the saying of the righteous servant?" The disagreement is in the report: is he a prophet, a righteous man, or Luqman? No one has said that he is a prophet.
