The Disagreement Regarding the Prophethood of the Man with Moses (peace be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this questioner says: Does a prophet preach, or a righteous servant?
Answer:
The scholars differed regarding the report about the man to whom Moses (peace be upon him) went to learn from him: is he a prophet or a righteous man? The stronger position is that he is a righteous man and not a prophet. Allah did not say he is a prophet; He said[Al-Kahf 18:65] and did not say that he is a prophet. Some of the scholars hold that he is a prophet, because what he brought forth were miracles, and miracles do not occur except through the hand of a prophet. Among these is Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), who holds that he is one of the prophets. And Allah knows best. Yes.
