Excellence of Durud Shareef

The Noble Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم has stated, ‘Whoever recites Salat upon me one time, Allah عزوجل sends ten mercies upon him.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp. 166, vol. 1)

Rasoolullah is the

Most Unique Human Being

Yahi bole Sidra Waale chamane jahan ke thaale

Subhi me ne chaan daale koyi paye ka na paaya

Tuje Yak na Yak banaya Tuje Yak na yak banaya

Tujhe Humd he khuda ya tujhe humd he khuda ya

The Prophet is the most unique human being and the greatest of Al’laah’s Creation. He is so blessed that the Holy Qur’aan has even referred to those fortunate Women who came into his Nikah to be the most unique amongst the women. This status, they attained by entering into the Nikah of the Most Unique of Al’laah’s Creation, Hazrat Muhammad . If barkat upon those who entered into the Nikah of the Holy Prophet is so great that they become the most unique amongst women then who can compare or be more unique than that such a personality as the Holy Prophet ?

It has been narrated on the authority of Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar  that the Holy Prophet said,

“I am not similar to anyone of you”

[Jaam’e Tirmizi Pg.97 Vol.1 - Sahih Bukhari Pg.246 Vol.1]

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri  reports that the Holy Prophet said,

“I am not of your appearance”

Hazrat Abu Hurairah  reports that the Holy Prophet asked,

“Who from amongst you is like me” [Sahih Bukhari Shareef Pg.246 Vol.1 - Sahih Muslim Shareef Pg.351 - Abu Dawood Shareef Pg.235]

From amongst the Sahaba-e-Kiraam (alaihimur ridwaan) none of them said Ya Rasoolallah you are human like us. You have two hands and feet, you eat and drink, you have blessed wives and children.

All of them (the Sahaba) are silent and obedient to the saying of the Holy Prophet . The Sahaba-e-Kiraam did not say that the Holy Prophet was like them but yet today there are those who have the audacity to claim that the Prophet is an ordinary human being like you and I (Al’laah Forbid). They say the only difference is that he has been given some excellence over us. That is definitely not the difference. One can never compare sinful people like us to Al’laah’s most unique and most beloved and most chosen creation Hazrat Muhammad . In reality, he is our master and we are his servants.

Hazrat Ali  says,

“I have not seen anybody similar to the Prophet either before of

after him.” [Taareekh-e-Kabeer Pg.8 Vol.1 - Khasaais ul Kubra Pg.181 Vol.1 - Tirmizi Shareef Pg.204 Vol.2]

Hazrat Abu Hurairah  says,

“I have not seen anyone more beautiful than the Holy Prophet . It was as if the sun was moving on his blessed face.” [Mishkaat Shareef Pg.518]

Another Sahabi-e-Rasool  states,

“I have not seen anything cooler and more fragrant than the blessed hand of the Holy Prophet .” [Tabraani Shareef Pg.217 Vol.1 published Egypt]

Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar  states that the Prophet forbade the Sahaba from keeping Saume Wisaal (continuous fasting without sahri and iftaar) and the Sahaba-e-Kiraam stated, “Yaa Rasoolallah! you keep Saume Wisaal” so the Holy Prophet said,

“I am not like (similar to) you. I am given food and water.” [Sahih Bukhari Shareef Pg.246 Vol.1 - Sahih Muslim Shareef Pg.352 Vol.1]

Hazrat Allama Ahmad Qistalaani is the annotator of Bukhari Shareef. He states,

“Make yourself well aware (of the fact) that the physical body of the Holy Prophet was created in such a way that neither was anyone created similar to him in the past and nor will anyone similar to him be born afterwards.” [Mawahibul Laduniyah Shareef Pg.248 Vol.1]

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Proper Sunni Beliefs)
