This questioner asks, saying: Is Uzair a prophet or a righteous man?
The Shaykh:
It has been said this and that, and Allah knows best. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
He is a righteous man, but when the punishments that came upon the Children of Israel came upon them, the Torah was lost; the Torah was lost, and they did not preserve it. That is to say, none of the books of Allah are preserved except the Noble Qur'an, as for the previous books, they cannot be preserved. Except for this man, who is Uzair from the Jews, who preserved the Torah. He preserved the Torah and dictated it to them after it was lost. Then they exaggerated about him and said, "This is the son of Allah; this is the son of Allah because he preserved the Torah; this is the son of Allah." Yes, and he is a righteous man, and it has been said he is a prophet. Yes.
