حضرت ابوذر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے انہوں نے کہا: میں نے عرض کیا: یا رسول اللہ! کون سے پیغمبر پہلے ہیں؟ آپ نے فرمایا: آدم علیہ السلام، میں نے عرض کیا: یا رسول اللہ وہ نبی تھے؟ تو آپ نے فرمایا: ہاں وہ کلام والے نبی ہیں،1 میں نے عرض کیا یا رسول اللہ! رسول کتنے ہیں؟ تو آپ نے فرمایا تین سو دس پر کچھ زیادہ ہیں جو بڑی جماعت ہے۔ حضرت ابوامامہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے ایک روایت میں ہے، حضرت ابوذر نے کہا: میں نے عرض کیا: یا رسول اللہ! نبیوں کی پوری تعداد کتنی ہے؟ آپ نے فرمایا: ایک لاکھ 2 چوبیس ہزار ہیں، ان میں رسول کی تین سو پندرہ کی بڑی جماعت ہے۔ (احمد)۔

Commentary and footnotes (2)

Note 1

a prophet who was spoken to

(1) His statement: “a prophet who was spoken to”: That is, not only was he a prophet, but a prophet who was spoken to and received scriptures. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

Note 2

One hundred twenty-four thousand, etc.

(2) His statement: “One hundred twenty-four thousand, etc.”: Although the number in this Hadith is stated definitively, it is not conclusive. Belief in the prophets and messengers should be general without specifying a number, so as not to exclude any of them or include anyone who is not among them. (As stated in Al-Mirqat and the commentary on An-Nasafiyyah’s Aqaid)
