Hazrat ‘Alī ra said, “Doyou want to leave me with the children and women?” TheProphet sa said, “Will you not be pleased that you will be to melike Aaron was to Moses? But there will be no prophet afterme”. 83About the above hadīth, Hazrat Mirzā Tāhir Ahmad rh states:There is another hadīth that our opponentsfrequently quote to support their position. The hadīthreads: “Saīd Bin Al-Musayyab reports on theauthority of Āmir Bin Sa‘ad Bin Abī Waqqās whoreports on the authority of his father (Allāh bepleased with them): The Holy Prophet sa said toHazrat ‘Alī ra : ‘You are to me what Aaron was toMoses, except there is no prophet after me’.” Anotherversion of the hadīth of Sahīh Bukhārī reads: “...exceptthat you are not a prophet.” Still another versionquoted by Masnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal reads: “...But donot become a Prophet”.
