With-Love-to-Muhammad

128 With Love to Muhammad sa the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn
Witnesses, and the Righteous. And excellent
companions are these. 122
This verse clearly states that only those who are obedient to
Allāh and His Messenger can become prophets. Hence, they are
the ones who are ummatī prophets or subordinate prophets, that
is, subordinate to the Holy Prophet sa . According to the verse,
there are four ranks of a believer:
1. The Sālihūn/Righteous
2. The Shuhadā’/Witnesses
3. The Siddīqūn/Truthful
4. The Nabiyyūn/Prophets
As a result, one can conclude that if ru’yā sāliha is meant for almuslim,
al-mu’min, and as-sālih, then, for the higher ranks, there
are kushūf [visions] and revelations. This is evident from the
experiences of thousands of saints and righteous believers of
high status. Their experiences were not limited to ru’yā sāliha.
They received powerful revelations from God!
Imām Abul Hasan agrees with us on this concept in his
commentary of Sunan Ibn Mājah [one of the 6 most reliable
ahādīth collections] in these words:
