Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: {And indeed, the people of al-Hijr denied the messengers}

Question:
Following this, a message was received for the program from the listener Hasan ibn 'Abd al-Karim Mahmud. Our brother Hasan asks for the exegesis of the saying of the Truth, (Blessed and Exalted is He): [al-Hijr:80]. He says: It is known that the people of Salih were not sent to except our master Salih, so why is the word "messengers" mentioned in the plural?

Answer:
The scholars mentioned in this that whoever denies a messenger has denied the messengers, because the ruling is one. Thus, denying one of them is denying them all, because they were sent by Allah with signs and miracles. So whoever denies him, his ruling is the ruling of one who denied them all. For this reason, He said regarding them and regarding others: [al-Shu'ara:123] [al-Shu'ara:141]. This is from this perspective, because when they denied their prophet while the decisive proof of his truth was established, they are in reality deniers of the others, (may Allah keep us safe). Yes.

The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
