The Shaykh : What is the meaning of "Indeed, there has been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example"? It means that if you follow the example of the Messenger of Allah, it is an excellent example. There is no doubt that an excellent example is required. I said this here so that no one would ask: Why did it not say "Indeed, there has been upon you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example"? We say that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) intended to make clear that our following the example of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is an excellent example. Yes.
