The questioner : Also, who is this person called Luqman? And was he given prophethood or not?
The Shaykh: The correct view is that he was not a prophet.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And Allah the Exalted granted him wisdom, which is conformity with the truth accompanied by knowledge. We say “accompanied by knowledge” for clarification, otherwise there is no truth without knowledge.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So the correct view is that he was not among the prophets, but rather he was a man to whom Allah granted wisdom, and whoever is granted wisdom has been granted much good.
The questioner : Yes.
