ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ لِي: «وَ لَوْ كُنْتَ نَبِيّاً لَكَانَ مَعَكَ مَلَكٌ يُصَدِّقُكَ وَ نُشَاهِدُهُ، بَلْ لَوْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ إِلَيْنَا نَبِيّاً- لَكَانَ إِنَّمَا يَبْعَثُ مَلَكاً لَا بَشَراً مِثْلَنَا» فَالْمَلَكُ لَا تُشَاهِدُهُ حَوَاسُّكُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ جِنْسِ هَذَا الْهَوَاءِ، لَا عِيَانَ مِنْهُ، Then Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘And as for your words to me, ‘And had you -saww been a Prophet -saww , there would have been an Angel with you -saww , ratifying you -saww and we would witness him.
But, had Allah -azwj Wanted to Send a Prophet -as to us – rather He -azwj would have Sent a king to us, not a person like us’ – So the Angel is such that your faculties cannot witness him, because he is of a genus of this air, not visible from it.
But rather, Allah -azwj Sent a human being, and Manifested upon his hands, the miracles which aren’t the norm for the human being – the one who knows the consciences of your hearts. So you would be knowing, by your frustrations from whatever he -saww came with, that it is indeed a miracle, and that it is a testimony from Allah -azwj the Exalted with the ratification for him -saww .
And had He -azwj Manifested an Angel to you all, and Manifested upon his hands what the human being would be frustrated from, there would not happen to be a justice for you all in that – for that would not be from the norms of the rest of the species from the Angels – until that would become (to be counted as) a miracle.
