Was the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) created from light?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Well, this message came from 'Abd al-Latif Mahmud 'Ali al-Yamani. He is asking about cutting down the trees on the graves. He says in his message: I have heard people saying: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was created from light, and the first thing Allah created was the light of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They recite the Noble Qur'an and dedicate its reward to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He also says:
The Shaykh: Repeat it again.
I have heard people saying: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was created from light, and the first thing Allah created was the light of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They recite the Noble Qur'an and dedicate the reward of the Qur'an to the spirit of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and to the deceased. Please inform us of the correctness of this. May Allah reward you with good?
Answer: As for what people say that he was created from light, all of this has no basis. That he was created from light, and "the first thing created was the light of Muhammad"—these are fabricated reports with no basis or foundation from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, they are fabricated and false attributions to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And likewise, the statement "he was created from light" has no basis. Rather, he was created from lowly water, just as other people were created. He was created from the water of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib and from the water of his mother, Aminah. He was not created from light. However, Allah made him a light (peace and blessings be upon him). He made him a shining lamp by what Allah gave him of revelation, by what Allah revealed to him of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Allah made him a light for people. Allah made him a shining lamp by calling to Allah, clarifying the truth for people, warning them, and directing them to good. So he is a light that came to him after Allah revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him).
Otherwise, he is a human being from the descendants of Adam, created from lowly water from his father and his mother. As for what some people, some of the ignorant, and some of the Sufis say: that he was created from light, or that the first thing created was the light of Muhammad—all of this has no basis. It is all invalid, and it is narrated in fabricated reports with no foundation. Yes.
