The chief of the oppressed,
Imam Husain (a.s.) said:
A Jew came and
objected to the Muslims that you believe your Prophet to be having all merits
of prophets and regard him superior to all of them. Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) was
present among the Muslims. He said:
“Come to me and ask
whatever you like.”
Among the things
which Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) said, were:
The angel appointed
on mountains came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) and said: “I am
commanded by Almighty Allah to obey whatever you command. If you permit, I will
destroy your enemies by dropping mountains on them. The Prophet did not allow,
saying: “I am the Prophet of mercy. O God, guide my people.”
…mountains recited
divine praises along with His Eminence Dawood (a.s.), but Muhammad (s.a.w.a.)
did something better. I was with Prophet facing Hira mountain [in Mecca] when
suddenly it began to move. The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:
“O mountain, be
still, as the Prophet and Siddiq Shaheed [Ameerul Momineen (a.s.)] is upon
you.” I saw it obey the command of Prophet and became still.
They have also narrated that
some Jews came to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and said: “O Muhammad, command
this mountain to testify for your prophethood. If it testifies, we would also
follow suit and embrace faith.” The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:
“I will go to any
mountain you like to make it testify and it would also testify.”
So, they went to a mountain
and said: “Make this mountain testify.” So the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) commanded
that mountain to testify for his prophethood. It moved and testified in such a
loud voice that all heard it. It also testified that Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)
was superior to all creatures.
The mountain said: “O
Muhammad, if you request your Lord to change human beings into monkeys and
pigs, He would do so. If you request Him to make the sky reach the earth or the
earth to reach the sky, He would fulfill it. Almighty Allah has made the earth,
heavens, mountains, rivers, winds, lightning, animals and everything else
obedient to you. Whatever you command would be obeyed.”
