Muqauqis’s Comments on Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)

After listening to this (the Tableegh of Hazrat Haatib Bin Abi Balta’ah Radhiyallahu anhu), Muqauqis said: “I have thought about this Messenger and I have reached the conclusion that his directives are not contrary to reasoning and nature, and that which he forbids is not contrary to reasoning and wisdom.

(Muqauqis came to know of some details of Sayyidul Aalam, Sallallahu alaihi wasallam, prior to Hazrat Haatib, Radhiyallahu anhu, bringing to him the letter of invitation to Islam. His comments here are based on the information he had at hand.)

As far as I have thought, he is neither a magician, nor one who has lost his way, nor a soothsayer and nor is he a liar.

From what we know about him, we know that he reveals knowledge from the Unseen. This is a sign of him being a Nabi. And with regard to following him, I will think about it.”
