128 With Love to Muhammad sa the Khātam-un-Nabiyyīn<br />

Witnesses, and the Righteous. And excellent<br />

companions are these. 122<br />

This verse clearly states that only those who are obedient to<br />

Allāh and His Messenger can become prophets. Hence, they are<br />

the ones who are ummatī prophets or subordinate prophets, that<br />

is, subordinate to the Holy Prophet sa . According to the verse,<br />

there are four ranks of a believer:<br />

1. The Sālihūn/Righteous<br />

2. The Shuhadā’/Witnesses<br />

3. The Siddīqūn/Truthful<br />

4. The Nabiyyūn/Prophets<br />

As a result, one can conclude that if ru’yā sāliha is meant for almuslim,<br />

al-mu’min, and as-sālih, then, for the higher ranks, there<br />

are kushūf [visions] and revelations. This is evident from the<br />

experiences of thousands of saints and righteous believers of<br />

high status. Their experiences were not limited to ru’yā sāliha.<br />

They received powerful revelations from God!<br />

Imām Abul Hasan agrees with us on this concept in his<br />

commentary of Sunan Ibn Mājah [one of the 6 most reliable<br />

ahādīth collections] in these words:<br />

ارادaااaمaتبقaaاومaوaالاaالاامaوaافa<br />

واءaوجود۔ 123<br />

Sūrah An-Nisā’, 4:70<br />
