Sixth Approach:
It is a well-known principle that when Allah addresses His prophets and messengers, that speech is more excellent than His addressing those who are neither prophet nor messenger. Yet the Messiah, peace be upon him, did not speak to the majority of the prophets and envoys at all; he spoke only to people, some of whom believed in him and some of whom disbelieved in him.

In fact, he did not converse with any of Allah’s messengers whatsoever. The Christians merely claim that the disciples were messengers of Allah, but that claim is false. Even if we were to concede it, he would still have spoken to no more than twelve messengers, whereas Allah had commissioned many messengers before him. In the report of Abu Dharr it is stated that their total number was three hundred and thirteen.

Allah says in the Quran:

“We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, saying, ‘Worship Allah and shun false gods.’ Among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom misguidance was due.” ⦗16:36⦘

The Exalted also says:

“There is no nation but that a warner has passed within it.” ⦗35:24⦘

And in the hadith recorded in the Musnad, narrated by Bahz ibn Ḥakīm from his father from his grandfather, the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—said:

“You complete the number of seventy nations; you are the best of them and the most honored by Allah, Mighty and Majestic.”
