فَقَالَ ع وَ هَذَا مُحَالٌ أَيْضاً لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَشُكَّ النَّبِيُّ ص فِي نُبُوَّتِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ اللَّهُ يَصْطَفِي مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَكَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَنْتَقِلَ النُّبُوَّةُ مِمَّنِ اصْطَفَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى مَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِهِ He -asws said: ‘And this is impossible because it is not allowed that the Prophet -saww would doubt regarding his -saww own Prophet-hood.

Allah -azwj the Exalted Said: Allah Chooses messengers from among the Angels and from the people; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing [22:75] .

How is it possible that the Prophet-hood would be transferred from the one Allah -azwj the Exalted had Chosen to the one who was committing Shirk with Him -azwj ?’ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَكْثَمَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ لَوْ نَزَلَ الْعَذَابُ لَمَا نَجَا مِنْهُ إِلَّا عُمَرُ Yahya Bin Aksam said, ‘It is reported that the Prophet -saww said: ‘If the Punishment were to descend, no one would be saved from it except Umar’’.

فَقَالَ ع وَ هَذَا مُحَالٌ أَيْضاً إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ‏ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ‏ فَأَخْبَرَ سُبْحَانَهُ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَ أَحَداً مَا دَامَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَا دَامُوا يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏. He -asws said: ‘This is impossible as well.

Allah -azwj the Exalted is Saying: And Allah was not going to Punish them while you were among them, nor would Allah Punish them while they are seeking Forgiveness [8:33] . The Glorious has Informed that He -azwj will not Punish anyone for as long as Rasool-Allah -saww is among them, and for as long as they (people) are seeking Forgiveness of Allah -azwj the Exalted’’.
