Abbas' son explained, "Allah did not create any soul more honored than that of Muhammad , and I have never heard of an oath taken by Allah on the life of anyone else."
In the chapter Yaseen, Allah says, "Yaseen, by the Wise Koran, you (Prophet Muhammad) are truly among the Messengers sent upon a Straight Path. (36:1-4)
To verify the Messengership of the Prophet and to bear witness to the truth of his guidance Allah swears in His Book that Prophet Muhammad is indeed one of the Messengers, a Messenger entrusted to deliver His Revelation to His worshipers and that indeed he is on the Straight Path.
An-Naqqasah said, "Allah did not swear by any of His Prophets in His Book that they were Messengers except for Muhammad ."
On the other hand, we are reminded that the Prophet said, "I am the master of the children of Adam, and that is not being boastful."
The Swearing of Allah
by the Country in which His Prophet Resides
Allah says, "No, I swear by this country and you are a lodger in this country" (90:1-2).
The explanation of "No, I swear by this country" is that the usage of the word "No" is both what it says and its opposite, in other words, "If you are not living in it, after having left it then I do not swear by it", and its opposite, "I swear by it when you, O Muhammad, are living in it, or, whatever you do in it is lawful". It has also been explained that the word "country" refers to Mecca.
Al Wasiti explained the verse as meaning that Allah swears by this country, the country which He honored and blessed, as it is there that the Prophet lives and it is there that he will be buried.
