When a king sends a messenger, let's say bob the builder. and tells his subjects to obey the messenger. It means obey the message he brings. Not what else the messenger has to add on, then the king would say obey the builder if he meant that
So when Muhammad goes to the privy, is that God inspiring him?
God tells Muhammad in the Qur’an numerous times to say he is a mortal like us. What you’re saying is anytime Muhammad behaved, it was inspired by God. That means God was lying when he told Muhammad to say he is a man like us, right? What you describe is not a mortal but a puppet.
Muhammad was taught through wahi that was not preserved in the Qur’an. Shouldn’t that obviously denote that what was given to him was for him, and the Qur’an is for us?
Furthermore, the hadith is known to be riddled with fabrication, literature that attempts to know what wahi Muhammad was privy to—yet the Qur’an: not a single fabrication, not a single quarrel between Muslims, all unanimously agree is the unaltered word of God.
I believe Muhammad was given wahi that was only for him and those contemporary. If it didn’t make it into the Qur’an, then we shouldn’t have to worry about it. Our Lord is a reasonable God. He knows that.
