The Superlative Eloquence of the Prophet
Allāh swears by the setting star that His Prophet does not stray in the least from what Allāh commands him. Nor does the Prophet speak from his own whims or desires, whether good or bad. Every utterance, every movement, every breath of the Prophet was, in fact, revelation from Allāh and consequently of utmost value in the quest to understand and follow the Qur’ān and the religion of Islam.
