The Honour of Prophets — Page 61
61 20 وَحْيٌ يُّوْحٰى اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوٰى مَا That is to say, the words of this Prophet do not spring from human instinct or impulse, rather his words are the words of God. Therefore, according to this verse all the words of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, are declared to be those of God Almighty. In this context, there is another verse that establishes how even the actions of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, are the actions of God Almighty. Allah states: 21 َ رَمٰـى ﷲ رَمَيْتَ اِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَ لٰكِنَّ ا مَا In other words, whatever you threw was not thrown by you, but it was Allah who threw. Thus, it is estab lished by this verse that the actions of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, are the actions of God. This establishes that the words of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, are the words of God, and his actions are the actions of God. The only conclusion that follows from this is that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is the perfect manifestation of the Divine Being. However, despite this, wise Muslims neither declare the 20 Nor does he speak out of his own desire. ( an-Najm, 53:4 5) 21 al-Anfal, 8:18
