    Ibn `Abbas said: God most high gave Muhammad superiority over the prophets and the inhabitants of heaven. On being asked, “In what respect, Abu ‘Abbas[1], has God given him superiority over the inhabitants of heaven?” he replied that God most high said to the inhabitants of heaven, “If any of them says, `I am a god apart from Him,’ We shall recompense that one with jahannam. Thus we recompense the evildoers.”[2] And God most high said to Muhammad, “We have certainly given you a clear victory, that God may forgive you your former and latter sins[3].” He was asked the nature of his superiority over the prophets and replied that God most high said, “We have sent no messenger who, did not use the tongue of his people to make matters clear to them; then God leads astray those whom He will…[4]” And God most high said to Muhammad, “We have sent you only to all mankind[5].” Then He sent him to jinn and men. This is the kunya of ‘Abdallah b. al-‘Abbas. Quran; 21:29 Quran; 48:1 f. Quran; 14:4 Quran; 34:28 (Darimi).

    Abu Dharr al-Ghifari told that he asked God’s messenger how he knew he was a prophet so that he was quite sure of it, and that he replied, “Two angels came to me, Abu Dharr, when I was at a place in the valley of Mecca, one alighting on the earth and the other remaining between heaven and earth. One of them asked the other if this was the man, and when he replied that I was, he told him to weigh me against a man. This was done and I was the heavier. He told him to weigh me against ten men, and when this was done, I outweighed them. He then told him to weigh me against a hundred men, and when this was done, I outweighed them. He then told him to weigh me against a thousand men, and when this was done, I outweighed them; and it seemed to me as if I were looking at them being scattered over me because of the lightness of the scale. Then one said to the other that if he were to weigh me against my people, I would outweigh them.” Darimi transmitted the two traditions.

    Ibn ‘Abbas told that when some of the companions of God’s messenger were sitting, he came out, and when he came near them, he heard them discussing. One of them said God had taken Abraham as a friend[1], another said He spoke direct to Moses[2], another said Jesus is God’s word and spirit[3], and another said God chose Adam[4]. God’s messenger then came out to them and said, “I have heard what you said, and you wonder that Abraham was God’s friend, as indeed he was; that Moses was God’s, confidant, as indeed he was; that Jesus was His spirit and word, as indeed he was; and that Adam was chosen by God, as indeed he was. I am the one whom God loves, and this is no boast. On the day of resurrection, I shall be the bearer of the banner of praise under which will be-Adam and the others, and this is no boast. I shall be the first intercessor and the first whose intercession is accepted on the day of resurrection, and this, is no boast. I shall be the first to rattle the knocker of paradise, and God will open for me and bring me into it accompanied by the poor ones among the believers, and this is no boast. I shall be the most honourable in God’s estimation among those of earliest and latest times, and this is no boast.” 1. Cf. Quran; 4:125. 3. Cf. Quran; 4:171. 2. Cf. Quran; 4:164. 4. Cf.

    Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “The way in which I may be compared with the prophets is by a castle which was beautifully constructed, but in which the place of one brick was left incomplete. Sightseers went round admiring the beauty of its construction with the exception of the place for that brick. Now I have filled up the place of that brick, in me the building is completed and in me the messengers are complete.” A version has “I am the brick and I am the seal of the prophets.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
