The Shaykh : These people who say that the prophets are alive in their graves cited evidence, among which is: there is no doubt that the martyrs are alive in their graves. Allah the Exalted said: [Ali 'Imran 3:169] The status of the prophets is higher than the status of the martyrs without doubt. This is one piece of evidence. The second piece of evidence, yes. If they are in a higher status than the martyrs, then their life in their graves is more deserving than the life of the martyrs. He says:
"If you argue with the martyr that he is *** alive, as has come in the Qur'an
and the messengers are in a more perfect state than him without *** doubt, and this is clear in the explanation
Therefore, they are more deserving of life than *** our martyrs, by reason and proof"
This is evidence by analogy of what? By analogy of priority (qiyas al-awla), that they are more deserving of life than the martyrs.
And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision,
ولا تحسبن الذين قتلوا في سبيل الله أمواتا بل أحياء عند ربهم يرزقون"If you argue with the martyr that he is *** alive, as has come in the Qur'an
and the messengers are in a more perfect state than him without *** doubt, and this is clear in the explanation
Therefore, they are more deserving of life than *** our martyrs, by reason and proof"
This is evidence by analogy of what? By analogy of priority (qiyas al-awla), that they are more deserving of life than the martyrs.
