“If allegedly objectionable (statement) was for tashbiya (i.e.

comparision) even then knowledge of Zaid

and Umar etc has not been compared with knowledge of RasoolAllah (sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi
was’sallam) but (comparision) is with baaz (i.e. limited) knowledge which has been mentioned above.
Entertaining the impossible; even if knowledge of RasoolAllah (sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi was’sallam)
was compared; even then it would not have been in every aspect but only in aspect of possessing of
baaz Ghayb; if it (baaz Ghayb) was evidence for application of (title) Aalim ul Ghayb upon Prophet
(sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi was’sallam) then in the same fashion baaz Ghayb would warrant
application of title Aalim ul-Ghayb for others; even if the both baaz be different (in quantity).
Comaprision like of this, in some traits, is evident from Quran.” [Ref: Hifz ul-Iman –with- Bast Al Banan,
pages 24/25, by Shaykh Thanvi]
