It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed:
There has never been a Prophet amongst the prophets who was not bestowed with a sign amongst the signs which were bestowed (on the earlier prophets). Human beings believed in it and verily I have been conferred upon revelation (the Holy Qur'an) which Allah revealed to me. I hope that I will have the greatest following on the Day of Resurrection.
Explanation
-the greatest
miracle given to the prophet is the Quran and its with this people believe him
and through this he will have the biggest Ummah on the day of judgement
Some said
that the Quran being a miracle means it's powerful in itself and it's not sent
in order to challenge with anything else, such as miracles sent to Moosaa to
challenge Sihr
Others said
it means that each prophet was given a miracle suitable for his nation, and the
miracle of the Quran is ongoing until the last day
-it's a
miracle in the knowledge it contains, knowledge of the unseen, about
events that occurred and yet to occur, unable to produce anything like it, and
it's then most eloquent of speech
-TN: Nawawi
refuted the idea of the Ashari's who say we have no Takleef to created the
Quran, an idea of Akbar, rather he affirms that the Quran is a miracle in and
of itself.
-the prophet
said he hopes that the Ummah will be the greatest, saying this when the
believers were just a few
-the prophet
came to abrogate all other religions
-whoever
hasn't heard of the message of Islam is excused
-the Jews and
christians are mentioned specially because they have books and if they have
books and knowledge then those less than them then the obligation for those
below them is even more emphasised
