Eulogies of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
The utmost scope of [their] knowledge concerning him [is], that he was a man, and that he is the best of God’s creatures, of the whole of them. (51) And all the signs that the noble apostles wrought [in former days] pertained unto them merely through his glory. (52) For verily he is the sun of superiority, of which they are the stars. They exhibit their lights to the people in the darknesses [but the sun is visible by day]. (53)
