Statements of Prophet Muhammad sa 107be none, and Allāh has named him as compassionate andmerciful. 97The presentation of this hadīth by Farhan Khan confusesus greatly! What does he want us to believe? Which one of thefollowing meanings of Al-‘Āqib does he want us to take?1. There is no prophet after the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa [aس‏[بدہaب2. There is no one after the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa سaبدہa‏]‏‏[احدIf it is number 1, that meaning has already been rejected byHazrat Mullā ‘Alī Qārī rh . If it is number 2, then there are threepossibilities of what no one after him can mean:1. There is no prophet after the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa ;2. No human being was born after him; or3. No one of his status can be born after himAbout number 1, the burden of proof is on Farhan Khan. Thereis no mention of prophethood in the hadīth. He has to tell ushow he arrived at that meaning. Presenting the opinion of thewriter of the commentary of Sahīh Muslim is not enough. He hasto demonstrate from the words of the hadīth that this is what theHoly Prophet Muhammad sa intended to say.Number 2 is unacceptable because human beings havebeen born for hundreds of years after the Holy Prophet97Sahīh Muslim, Chapter 30, Chapter 31, Book 30, Number 5811
