Statements of Prophet Muhammad sa 107 be none , and All ā h has named him as compassionate and merciful. 97 The presentation of this had ī th by Farhan Khan confuses us greatly! What does he want us to believe? Which one of the following meanings of Al-‘ Ā qib does he want us to take? 1. There is no prophet after the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa [ a iFس Hب a ب]دہ ] 2. There is no one after the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa [ a ب]دہ a iFس احد ] If it is number 1, that meaning has already been rejected by Hazrat Mull ā ‘Al ī Q ā r ī rh. If it is number 2, then there are three possibilities of what no one after him can mean: 1. There is no prophet after the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa ; 2. No human being was born after him; or 3. No one of his status can be born after him About number 1, the burden of proof is on Farhan Khan. There is no mention of prophethood in the had ī th. He has to tell us how he arrived at that meaning. Presenting the opinion of the writer of the commentary of Sah ī h Muslim is not enough. He has to demonstrate from the words of the had ī th that this is what the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa intended to say. Number 2 is unacceptable because human beings have been born for hundreds of years after the Holy Prophet 97 Sah ī h Muslim , Chapter 30, Chapter 31, Book 30, Number 5811
