Difference between Messenger and Prophet
بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد
[Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen, pg. 562]
Shaikh al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
“The scholars have said that “al-Rasool” (Messenger) can
be from the humans and from the Angels, as Allaah عز وجل said about Jibreel عليه السلام:
{إنه لقول رسول كريم * ذي قوة
عند ذي العرش مكين}
{Verily, this is the Word
(this Qur’aan is brought by) a most honorable Messenger (Jibreel from Allaah to
Prophet Muhammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم) * Owner of power (and high rank) with (Allaah), the Lord of
the Throne} [Surah al-Takweer (81): 19-20]
And as for “al-Nabiy” (Prophet), there was none except that he was from amongst the humans (only).”
