Sayyidunā Salman al-Fārsi رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that before the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم could reply, Sayyidunā Jibril عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم immediately arrived with a message from the Lord of the Universe. He said: "Allah Almighty says: O My beloved, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! If I made Sayyidunā Ibrahīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم My Khalil, I had made you My Habib (Beloved) long before that. If I spoke to Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم on earth, I granted you the honour of speaking to Me by calling you above the heavens. If I created Sayyidunā Ῑsa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم through the Rūh-ul-Qudus (meaning by My special power without a father), I created your name two thousand years before the creation of all creatures. O Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Your blessed feet reached the heavens where no one had reached before, nor will anyone reach after you, O Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! If I granted greatness to Sayyidunā Ādam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, I ended the chain of Prophethood with you, O Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I have not made anyone more honoured than you. I created this world so that people could witness your honour and greatness. وَ لَوْلَاكَ لَمَا خَلَقْتُ الدُّنْیا (O illustrious Beloved Prophet  صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! If you were not there, I would not have created the world)."^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! What a magnificent status our leader, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has...!!

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                          صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Listen! I am the Habib of Allah Almighty

In the famous book of Hadīth, Tirmidhī Sharif, there is a Hadīth narrated by the Companion of the Messenger, Sayyidunā ‘Abdullāh bin 'Abbas رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُما. He narrates that once the Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم were gathered and were waiting for the arrival of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. During this time, they began an intellectual discussion. Meanwhile, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم arrived. When the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came near the Companions, he paused and began listening to their conversation.
