The questioner : What is the validity of the statement that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is better than all created things, even better than the Throne?
The Shaykh : Up to now, this has not reached me. What has reached me is that he is the master of the children of Adam, but the expressions of the scholars and imams indicate that he is the best of creation. Ibn al-Qayyim says: "His chosen one from His creation," and there is the famous verse:
"And the best of creation, absolutely, is our Prophet, so turn away from discord".
