The Shaykh : Then he mentioned the hadith of Ibn al-Hanaziliyyah: meaning: a barrier.
A target means: like a stake that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would drive into the ground and relieve himself toward it. So one day he entered the grove of a man from the Ansar, and there was a camel. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) — meaning the camel saw him, the camel saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) — it came groaning with its bells, lowering its neck, and its eyes were watering: the camel was complaining about its owner to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: : And this is among the signs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that the mute beasts complain to him when they see him (peace and blessings be upon him), because this is among the signs of Allah by which Allah the Exalted supports His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), for Allah the Exalted did not send a Messenger except that He gave him signs indicating his prophethood so that people would not deny him, because if a man came to people and said: I am the Messenger of Allah to you, without a sign, they would not believe him. But Allah the Exalted gives His Messengers signs indicating that they are truthful. And the greatest of the signs given to the Prophets is what was given to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and Ibn Kathir mentioned in *Al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya* and others also: "There is no sign for any of the previous Prophets but that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had something like it or greater than it" : either for him personally or for his followers. He mentioned many examples and witnesses for this, but no one among the Prophets was given what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was given of this revelation: the Qur'an. For this reason he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 4981 , because this revelation remains, to this day, and the people, whenever they read it, increase in faith in Allah and His Messenger, because of the great signs in it indicating that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is truly the Messenger of Allah. And Allah grants success.
