Chapter: Increasing the heart's tranquility with the appearance evidence

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed:
We have more claim to doubt than Ibrahim (ﷺ) when he said: My Lord! Show me how Thou wilt quicken the dead. He said: Believeth thou not? He said: Yes! But that my heart may rest at ease. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: May Lord take mercy on Lot, that he wanted a strong support, and had I stayed (in the prison) as long as Yusuf stayed, I would have responded to him who invited me.
Explanation
-Some of the people of innovation stated that Ibrahim doubted but this is far removed from a prophet let alone one of the best of them in Ibrahim
-He doubted has three meanings: he wanted to see how, he wanted to strengthen his Emaan and Yaseen and he wanted to see how Allaah responds to his Dua'a
-Seeing things from the Ghayb increases Emaan, such a believer wanting to see Jannah or see the Prophet
-The statement of Loot shows dependence in Allaah, because he wanted to defend his visitors from the immoral but supplicated to Allaah and relied upon him so Allaah protected him 
-About Yusuf, it's talking about his patience and how he wouldn't leave until his name was cleared, showing how much he cared for goodness and the truth
-This Hadeeth shows the humility of the Prophet

Sharh Sahih Muslim, 2/203-206
