Is it correct to say regarding the prophets and messengers that they disobeyed Allah?

The questioner : As for the first questioner, he says, O honorableThe Shaykh : Is it correct to say regarding the prophets and messengers that they disobeyed Allah?

The Shaykh : Disobeyed?

The questioner : Disobeyed, yes.

The Shaykh : Disobeyed?

The questioner : Disobeyed.

The Shaykh : Disobeying Allah is certainly permissible to state, because Allah the Exalted said regarding Adam: However, it is not permissible for us to say that a specific messenger disobeyed when we do not know that he did. It is not permissible. Generally speaking, there is no doubt that it is permissible to describe the messengers with what Allah has described them with. But if we say, for example, that a specific prophet or messenger disobeyed, and we do not know that he did, that is not permissible. Yes.
