Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The intent of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that all the Prophets and Messengers should be respected, and that the superiority of some over others should not be mentioned in such a manner that it leads to the disparagement or disrespect of another. However, this blessed hadith does not mean that some Prophets are not superior to others, as Allah the Exalted has said: {تِلْکَالرُّسُلُفَضَّلْنَابَعْضَھُمْعَلٰیبَعْضٍ} … These are the Messengers; We have given some of them superiority over others. (Surah al-Baqarah: 253)
