Hadith 1

e them testify against their own selves: “Am I not your Lord? ” They said, ‘Yes’. [7: 172]. The first one to proceed from the Messengers-as to say: ‘Yes’, was Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-saww, because his-saww soul was closest of the souls to the Domains of Allah-azwj the Exalted. And the evidence upon that are words of Jibraeel-as when there was Ascension with Rasool-Allah-saww to the seventh sky. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Proceed, for you-saww are treading a place no Angel of Proximity has trodden nor any Messenger Prophet-as! ’
Had his-saww soul not been from that position, he-saww would not have been able upon going beyond, and that is because when Allah-azwj the Exalted Commanded, the first of what His-azwj Command arrived to was Rasool-Allah-saww due to his-saww closeness to His-azwj Domains, then rest of the Prophets-as based upon their-as levels. And that explanation is increased by Words of the Exalted: And when We Took from the Prophets, their Covenants, and from you, and from Noah and Ibrahim and Musa and Isa son of Maryam, [33: 7]. The most superior of the Prophets-as are five, and the most superior of the five is Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and upon them-as all. Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: It is certainly the world of an honourable Messenger [81: 19] The processor of strength, distinguished, in the Presence of the Possessor of the Throne [81: 20] Obedient, then trustworthy [81: 21]. And the evidence upon that he-saww is most superior of the Prophets-as is that Allah-azwj the Glorious Took His-azwj Covenant upon rest of the Prophets-as. The Glorious Said: And when Allah Took a Covenant of the Prophets: “When I have Given you from a Book and Wisdom – then a Rasool comes to you verifying to what is with you, you must believe in him, and you must help him”. He said: “Do you affirm and accept My Pact upon that? ” They said: ‘We do accept’. He said: “Then bear witness, and I (too) am of the Bearers of Witness with you [3: 81]. So this explains the merit of Rasool-Allah-saww over rest of the Messengers-as and the Prophets-as, and the Book has Spoken with it; and when there was an Ascension with Rasool-Allah-saww to the fourth sky and he-saww entered Bayt Al Mamour, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Gathered for him-saww the Prophets-saww from Adam-as onwards until he-saww prayed Salat leading them. Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: And ask ones We Sent from before you from Our Rasools, did We Make from besides the Beneficent, a God they should be worshipping? [43: 45], and in this is a convincing argument for the one who ponders it. And as for infallibility of the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as and the successors-asws, different words have been said regarding that. Some of the people said, ‘It (infallibility) is a Prevention from Allah-azwj the Exalted. He-azwj Prevents them-as from the acts of disobedience in whatever Allah-azwj has Imposed upon them-as, from the delivering on His-azwj behalf to His-azwj creatures, and it is an Action of Allah-azwj, rather than theirs’. And others said, ‘The infallibility) is from their-as actions because they-asws are being praised upon it’. And others said, ‘All the sins are allowed upon the Prophets
