The great thing that has not been for any human or messenger before him, and that is this great Quran; for this Quran has no equal in the verses of the previous prophets ever, and for this God Almighty said: ‘They said, why was not a sign revealed to him from his Lord? Say: The signs are only with God, and I am only a clear warner. Is it not sufficient for them that We have revealed to you the Book which is recited to them?’ [The Spider: 50-52], this is sufficient for everything, but for whomever has a heart or lends an ear while being present witness, as for the one who turns away; he will say as those before him said: ‘This is the legends of the ancients!’ The result is that Muhammad is the Messenger of God and the Seal of the Prophets, through him God has concluded prophethood and the message as well; because if prophethood is nullified, which is more general than the message; the message which is more specific is also nullified; for the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, is the Seal of the Prophets. His saying: Allah's blessings be upon him and his family and companions, and peace be upon him increasingly.

Explanation: The meaning of 'Allah’s prayer upon him' is the best that has been said about him, which was said by Abu Alia, may God have mercy on him; he said: Allah’s prayers upon His Messenger is His praise of him in the highest assembly (1). As for those who interpreted Allah's prayer upon him as mercy; his saying is weak; because (1) narrated by Al-Bukhari from Abu Alia in his interpretation of Surah Al-Ahzab: Section 'Indeed Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet,' 'Al-Fath' (532/8), and it was narrated by the judge Ismail ibn Ishaq al-Jahdami in 'the best prayer upon the Prophet' (95) with a good chain as Sheikh Al-Albani said.
