Testimony of the Prophethood
This Article is based on a true incident which occurred at the time when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was spreading the message of Islam to other nations of the world.
This incident was mentioned by Abu Sufyan who was the strongest opponent of Islam, who later on embraced Islam went to syria for doing business and was called by Heraculus to enquire about Prophet Muhammad.
So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraculus at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all his dignitaries around him. He called for his translator who, translating Heraculus's question, said to them:
Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?"
Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him."
Heraclius said, "Bring him close to me and make his companions stand behind him."
Heraclius told his translator to tell Abu Sufyan's companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man and that if I told a lie they should contradict me.
Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah, had I not been afraid of my companions labelling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet."
Heraculus asked 10 Questions regarding Prophet Muhammad.
The first question he asked me about him was: 1)"What is his family status amongst you?" I replied, "He belongs to a noble family amongst us."
2)Heraclius further asked, "Has anybody else amongst you ever claimed the same before him?" I replied, "No!"
3)He said, "Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?" I replied "No!"
4)Heraclius asked, "Do the nobles or the poor follow him?" I replied, "It is the poor who follow him."
5)He said, "Are his followers increasing or decreasing?" I replied, "They are increasing."
6) He then asked, "Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?" I replied, "No!"
7)Heraclius said, "Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim?" I replied, "No!"
8)Heraclius said, "Does he break his promises?" I replied, "No.
We are at truce with him, but we do not know what he will do in it." I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that
9)Heraclius asked, "Have you ever had a war with him?" I replied, "Yes." Then he said, "What was the outcome of the battles?" I replied, "Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we."
10) Heraclius said, "What does he order you to do?"
I said, "He tells us to worship Allah, and Allah alone, and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our kith and kin."
Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, "I asked you about his family and (Ans 1) your reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Prophets come from noble families amongst their respective peoples
. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, (Ans 2) your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have suspected that this man was following the previous mans statement.
Then I asked you whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. (Ans 3)Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his kingdom.
I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and (Ans 4)your reply was in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah.
I then asked you whether the rich people or the poor followed him. (Ans 5)You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Prophets have been followed by this very class of people.
Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. (Ans 7)You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, until it is complete in all respects.
I further asked you if there was anybody, who after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. (Ans 8)Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is the sign of true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely.
I asked whether he had ever betrayed. (Ans 9)You replied in the negative and likewise the Prophets never betray.
Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. (Ans 10)You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and not to commit illegal fornication. If what you said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it from the scriptures that he was going to appear, but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet."

Mohammad, as quoted above, teaches, "renounce all that our ancestors had said". By implication it also came to mean "renounce all that our future generations would say". Thereby hangs the tale of a prophet who taught his followers to have a fossiled mind as far a religion went.
