1) The Prophet (Peace
be upon him) said, ‘I am a human being, so when I command you about a thing
pertaining to religion, do accept it, and when I command you about a thing out
of my personal opinion, keep it in mind that I am a human being.’ (Sahih Muslim
Part IV; Book of Fazail; Chapter CMLXXXVI, page 1259; 9th edition).
2)
Mohammed is no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away
before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least
harm will he do to Allah. But Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward
those who (serve Him) with gratitude. (Surah 3, Al-Imran, Verse 144).
3) Oh people of the
Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the
truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah ...
so believe in Allah and His Messenger. Say not ‘Three’: desist: it will be
better for you: for Allah is One God: Glory be to Him: (Far Exalted is He)
above having a son.... (Surah 4 An-Nisa Verse 171 Parts).
4) Christ the son of
Mary was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away
before him. . (Surah 5 Al-Maida Verse 75 Part).
5) On the day when
Allah will gather the Messengers together, and ask: ‘What was the response ye
received (from men to your teaching)?’ they will say: ‘we have no knowledge: it
is Thou who knowest in full all that is hidden.’ (Surah 5 Al-Maida Verse 109).
6) Say, ‘I tell you not
that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor do I
tell you I am an angel, I but follow what is revealed to me.’ (Surah 6,
Al-An’am, Verse 50 Part).
7) Say:’ I have no
power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah Willeth. If I had
knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good: and no evil should
have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who
have faith’. (Surah 7, Al-Ar’af, Verse 188).
8) Say: ‘I have no
power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah Willeth. To every
People is a term appointed! .... (Surah 10, Yunus, Verse 49 Part).
9) ‘I tell you not that
with me are the Treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor claim I
to be an angel....’ (Surah 11, Hud, Verse 31 Part).
10) Nor did We send before thee (as messengers) any
but men, whom we did inspire, - (men) living in human habitations. (Surah 12,
Yusuf, verse 109 (part).
11) We did send messengers before thee, and
appointed for them wives and children: and it was never the part of a messenger
to bring a sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded). For each period is a
Book (revealed). (Surah 13, Al-Ra’d, verse 38).
12) Their messengers said to them: "True,
we are human like yourselves, but Allah doth grant His grace to such of his
servants as He pleases. It is not for us to bring you an authority except as
Allah permits. And on Allah let all men of faith put their trust. (Surah 14,
Ibrahim, verse 11).
13) And before thee also the messengers We sent
were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: if ye realise this not, ask of
those who possess the Message. (Surah 16, An-Nahl, verse 43).
14) Say: "Glory to my Lord! Am I aught but a
man, - a messenger?" What kept men back from belief when Guidance came to
them, was nothing but this: they said, "Has Allah sent a man (like us) to
be (His) Messenger." (Surah 17, Bani Isra-il, verse 93 (part) and verse
94).
15) Say: "I am but a man like yourselves,
(but) the inspiration has come to me, that your Allah is one Allah. Whoever expects
to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and, in the worship of his Lord,
admit no one as partner. (Surah 18, Al-Kahf, verse 110).
16) Before thee, also, the messengers We sent
were but men, to whom We granted inspiration: If ye realize this not, ask of
those who possess the Message.(Surah 21, Al-Anbiyya, verses 7-8).
17) We granted not to any man before thee
permanent life (here): if then thou shouldst die, would they live permanently?
Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by
way of trial. To Us must ye return. (Surah 21, Al-Anbiyya, verses 34-35).
18) Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly
they (too) will die (one day). (Surah 39, Az-Zumar, verse 30).
19) Say thou: "I am but a man like you: It
is revealed to me by Inspiration, that your Allah is one Allah. So stand true
to Him, and ask for His Forgiveness." And woe to those who join gods with
Allah (Surah 41, Ha-Mim, verse 6).
20) He (Jesus) was no more than a servant: We
granted Our favour to him, and We made him an example to the Children of
Israel. (Surah 43, Al-Zukhruf, verse 59).
21) Therefore do thou hold Patience, - a
Patience of beautiful (contentment) (Surah 70, Al-Ma-arij, verse 5).
22) And
thou wast not (able) to recite a Book before this (Book came), nor art thou
(able) to transcribe it with thy right hand: In that case, indeed, would the talkers
of vanities have doubted.
(Surah 29, Al-Ankabut, verse 48).
23) O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden
that which Allah has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts.
But Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surah 66, Al-Tahrim, verse 1).
24) (The Prophet) frowned and turned away, because
there came to him the blind man
(interrupting). But what could tell thee but
that perchance he might grow in spiritual understanding? - Or that he might
receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? As to one who regards himself
as self-sufficient, to him dost thou attend though it is no blame to thee if he
grow not (in spiritual understanding). But as to him who came to thee striving
earnestly, and with fear (in his heart), of him wast thou unmindful. (Surah 80,
Abasa, verses 1 to 10).
25) It is not fitting for a messenger that he
should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly
subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods
of this world; but Allah looketh to the
Hereafter: And Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
Had it not been for a previous ordainment
from Allah, a severe penalty would have reached
you for the (ransom) that ye took. (Surah 12, Al-Anfal, verses 67-68).
26) Not for thee, but for Allah, is the
decision: Whether He turn in mercy to them, or punish them; for they are indeed
wrong-doers. (Surah 3, Al-Imran, verse 128).
28) It is not fitting, for the Prophet and
those who believe, that they should pray for forgiveness for Pagans, even
though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are companions of
the Fire. (Surah 9, Al-Tauba, verse 113).
29) Nor do thou ever pray for any of them that
dies, nor stand at his grave; for they rejected Allah and His Messenger, and
died in a state of perverse rebellion. (Surah 9, Al-Tauba, verse 84).
30) When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say,
"We bear witness that thou art indeed the Messenger of Allah." Yea,
Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His Messenger, and Allah beareth witness
that the Hypocrites are indeed liars. (Surah 63, Al-Munafiqun, verse 1).
31) Nor say of anything, "I shall be sure to do so and so
tomorrow"- Without adding, "So
please Allah." and call thy Lord to mind when thou forgettest, and say,
"I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer (even) than this to the
right road."(Surah 18, Al-Kahf, verses 23-24).
32) And the messengers whom We sent before thee
were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some
of you as a trial for others: will ye have patience? for Allah is One Who sees
(all things). (Surah 25, Al-Furqan, verse 20).
33) Narrated
Aisha: Abu Bakr came riding his horse from his dwelling place in As-Sunh. He
got down from it, entered the Mosque and did not speak with anybody till he
came to me and went direct to the Prophet (Peace be upon him), who was covered
with a marked blanket. Abu Bakr uncovered his face. He knelt down and kissed
him and then started weeping and said, "My father and my mother be
sacrificed for you, O Allah's Prophet! Allah will not combine two deaths on
you. You have died the death which was written for you."
Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn Abbas : Abu Bakr came out and
'Umar , was addressing the people, and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but 'Umar
refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit down but 'Umar again refused. Then Abu
Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah
and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle) and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left
'Umar. Abu Bakr said, "Amma ba'du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad
(Peace be upon him), then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah
is alive and will never die. Allah said: 'Muhammad is no more than an Apostle
and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him ... (up to the) grateful.' " (3.144)
(The narrator added, "By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that
Allah had revealed this verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever
heard it, started reciting it ") (Sahih Bukhari: Volume
2, Book 23, Number 333: Book of Funerals (Janaaiz)) (Islambase Publications).
34) Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) prayed
(and the subnarrator Ibrahim said, "I do not know whether he prayed more
or less than usual"), and when he had finished the prayers he was asked,
"O Allah's Apostle (Peace be upon him)! Has there been any change in the
prayers?" He said, "What is it?' The people said, "You have
prayed so much and so much." So the Prophet (Peace be upon him) bent his
legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostrations (of Sahu) and finished his
prayers with Tasiim (by turning his face to right and left saying:
'As-Salamu'Alaikum-Warahmat-ullah'). When he turned his face to us he said,
"If there had been anything changed in the prayer, surely I would have
informed you but I am a human being like you and liable to forget like you. So
if I forget remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he
should follow what he thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly
and finish it and do two prostrations (of Sahu)." (Sahih Bukhari: Volume
1, Book 8, Number 394: Book of Prayer [Salat]) (Islambase Publications).
35) Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,
"The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life (i.e.
birth) of someone but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allah. When you
see them offer the prayer." (Sahih Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 18,
Number 152: Book of Eclipses) (Islambase Publications).
36) Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's
Apostle (Peace be upon him) heard some people quarreling at the door of his
dwelling. He came out and said, "I am only a human being, and opponents
come to me (to settle their problems); maybe someone amongst you can present
his case more eloquently than the other, whereby I may consider him true and
give a verdict in his favor. So, if I give the right of a Muslim to another by
mistake, then it is really a portion of (Hell) Fire, he has the option to take
or give up (before the Day of Resurrection)." (Sahih Bukhari: Volume
3, Book 43, Number 638: Book of Oppressions [Zulm; Fitna]) (Islambase
Publications).
37) Narrated
'Umar: I heard the Prophet (Peace be upon him) saying, "Do not exaggerate
in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a
Slave. So, call me the Slave of Allah and His Apostle." (Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 654: Book of the Prophets) (Islambase Publications).
38) Narrated
Zaid bin Arqam: While I was taking part in a Ghazwa. I heard 'Abdullah bin Ubai
(bin Abi Salul) saying. "Don't spend on those who are with Allah's
Apostle, that they may disperse and go away from him. If we return (to Medina),
surely, the more honorable will expel the meaner amongst them." I reported
that (saying) to my uncle or to 'Umar who, in his turn, informed the Prophet of
it. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) called me and I narrated to him the whole
story. Then Allah's Apostle (Peace be upon him) sent for 'Abdullah bin Ubai and
his companions, and they took an oath that they did not say that. So Allah's
Apostle (Peace be upon him) disbelieved my saying and believed his. I was
distressed as I never was before. I stayed at home and my uncle said to me.
"You just wanted Allah's Apostle to disbelieve your statement and hate
you." So Allah revealed (the Sura beginning with) 'When the hypocrites
come to you.' (63.1) The Prophet (Peace be upon him) then sent for me and
recited it and said, "O Zaid! Allah confirmed your statement." (Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 6, Book 60, Number 423: Book of Prophetic Commentary on the
Quran [Tafseer]) (Islambase Publications).
