    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.
