And excellent companions are these. 122 This verse clearly states that only those who are obedient to All ā h and His Messenger can become prophets. Hence, they are the ones who are ummat ī prophets or subordinate prophets, that is, subordinate to the Holy Prophet sa. According to the verse, there are four ranks of a believer: 1. The S ā lih ū n /Righteous 2. The Shuhad ā ’ /Witnesses 3. The Sidd ī q ū n /Truthful 4. The Nabiyy ū n /Prophets As a result, one can conclude that if ru’y ā s ā liha is meant for al- muslim, al-mu’min, and as-s ā lih , then, for the higher ranks, there are kush ū f [visions] and revelations. This is evident from the experiences of thousands of saints and righteous believers of high status. Their experiences were not limited to ru’y ā s ā liha. They received powerful revelations from God!
