So, if you were to submit, you would be Momineen servants, and if you refuse, you would be Kafirs regarding Me -azwj , and by My -azwj Punishment (you would be) from the destroyed ones!’ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ إِنَّما أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يَعْنِي آكُلُ الطَّعَامَ يُوحى إِلَيَّ أَنَّما إِلهُكُمْ إِلهٌ واحِدٌ يَعْنِي قُلْ لَهُمْ: أَنَا فِي الْبَشَرِيَّةِ مِثْلُكُمْ، وَ لَكِنْ رَبِّي خَصَّنِي بِالنُّبُوَّةِ دُونَكُمْ، كَمَا يَخُصُّ بَعْضَ الْبَشَرِ بِالْغَنَاءِ- وَ الصِّحَّةِ وَ الْجَمَالِ دُونَ بَعْضٍ مِنَ الْبَشَرِ، فَلَا تُنْكِرُوا أَنْ يَخُصَّنِي أَيْضاً بِالنُّبُوَّةِ.
‘Then Allah -azwj the Exalted Revealed unto him -saww : O Muhammad -saww ! Say: But rather, I am a person like you [18:110] – meaning, ‘I -saww eat the food’, it is Revealed to me that your God is one God – meaning, say them, ‘I -saww am, with regards to being a human being, am like you all, but my -saww Lord -azwj Specialised me -saww with the Prophet-hood besides you all, just as He -azwj Specialised some of the human beings with the riches, and the good health, and the beauty besides the other from the humans.
Therefore, you should not be denying that He -azwj can Specialise me -saww with the Prophet-hood as well’ .
ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ: « [إِنَ] هَذَا مَلِكُ الرُّومِ، وَ مَلِكُ الْفُرْسِ لَا يَبْعَثَانِ رَسُولًا إِلَّا كَثِيرَ الْمَالِ، عَظِيمَ الْحَالِ، لَهُ قُصُورٌ وَ دُورٌ- وَ فَسَاطِيطُ وَ خِيَامٌ وَ عَبِيدٌ وَ خُدَّامٌ، وَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَوْقَ هَؤُلَاءِ كُلِّهِمْ فَهُمْ عَبِيدُهُ» فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُ التَّدْبِيرُ وَ الْحُكْمُ لَا يَفْعَلُ عَلَى ظَنِّكَ وَ حُسْبَانِكَ، وَ لَا بِاقْتِرَاحِكَ، بَلْ يَفْعَلُ ما يَشاءُ، وَ يَحْكُمُ ما يُرِيدُ وَ هُوَ مَحْمُودٌ ‘Then Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘And as for your words, ‘So this is the king of Rome, and this is the king of Persia, they do not send messengers (ambassadors) unless he is of a lot of wealth, great status, having castles and houses for him, and orchards, and pavilions, and tents, and slaves and servants.
And the Lord -azwj of the worlds is above all of them together, for they are His -azwj slaves’ – so Allah -azwj , there is a Strategy for Him -azwj and the Decision. He -azwj does not Do upon your thinking and your reckoning, nor by your suggestions, but He -azwj Does whatever He -azwj so Desires to, and Decides whatever He -azwj so Wants to, and He -azwj is the Most Praised One.
