Muhammad, his wives and his offspring, as You have bestowed Your grace upon
Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. You are indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious‟.”
It is related that, after the death of the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, Umar ibn al-Khattab was heard weeping and saying:
“You are more to me than my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, praise
and peace be upon him. There was once a palm tree stump on, which you used
to stand when you addressed the people. But when the people grew in number,
you adopted a pulpit to let them all hear you. The tree stump then mourned your
separation, until you laid your hand upon it and it was reassured. Still greater
right has your Community to pine for you now you have parted from them.
You are more to me than my father and mother, O Messenger of Allah, praise
and peace be upon him! So great is your merit in His sight that He has equated
obedience to you with obedience to Himself, for He said: “Whosoever obeys the
Messenger, indeed he has obeyed Allah.” (Koran Ch. 4 verse 80)
