The Shaykh : No, this is clearly a necessary implication of their statement. They may acknowledge it, or they may deny it. It is on the basis of logical implication, without a doubt. There is no doubt that it is on the basis of logical implication, because if we adopt their principle, they must say that the corpse in the grave has lost the description of being a messenger. They must say this, otherwise they would be contradicting themselves.
