His statement: (He is my companion in Paradise) — will he be in the rank of the prophets?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 1789, will he reach the rank of the prophets...?
The Shaykh : It is possible that he will be in his rank for a time, and then return to the rank he is currently in. Or, the intended meaning is general companionship and association, even if he is not in his rank, because no one reaches the rank of the prophets. Or, the meaning is: my companion and my associate, that is, when I enter Paradise.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, that is not the meaning. It means these are high rooms, but they are not like the abodes of the prophets. The abodes of the prophets are higher and more complete.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Being in the company of someone does not imply being in the same rank. Right now, all Muslims are in one company, which is the company of Islam, but they differ greatly.
