The Devil Stabs Every Son of Adam in the Sides With His Finger When He Is Born, Except for Jesus, So
The devil stabs every son of Adam in the sides with his finger when he is born, except for Jesus, son of Mary, who went to stab him and stabbed the veil.”
we always see all the strange things from the Christians and their doubts, and among these stupid doubts are some attempts to prove what is called the divinity of Christ, peace be upon him, through some verses and hadiths, whether their evidence is based on ignorance or fallacy or or or…
Firstly, the narration:
The narration is authentic and was narrated by Al-Bukhari, Muslim and others [1].
Secondly, the knowledge:
Firstly, we must know the reason and the cause for that, which is that Allah, the Most High, the Most Great, protected the Messiah and his mother from the pricking of Satan by the blessing of the supplication of the mother of Mary, the wife of Imran, where she said [2]:
Then when she gave birth to her, she said, “My Lord, indeed I have given birth to a female. And Allah knows best what she has given birth to. And the male is not like the female. And indeed, I have named her Mary, and indeed, I seek refuge for her and her offspring in You from Satan, the accursed.” [3]
Secondly:
This was not a characteristic or feature that was unique to our master the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, rather this is the case with all the prophets, and the judge indicated: [4] That all the prophets, peace and blessings be upon them, share in that with Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him. Al-Qurtubi said that it is the saying of Qatada [5]
Third:
It is not understood from this that the devil’s prodding necessitates the misguidance of the one prodding and his seduction, for that is a corrupt assumption, and how often the devil has exposed the prophets and saints to various types of corruption and seduction, and despite that God protects them from what the devil desires, as He said [6]: Indeed, My servants - you have no authority over them, and sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs [7]
and there is no contradiction to what has been proven about the infallibility of the prophets, rather the apparent meaning of the report is that the devil is able to touch every newborn at birth, but from the sincere servants of God, that touch did not harm him at all, and he excepted from the sincere ones Mary and her son, for he went to touch them as he usually did, and he was prevented from doing so, so this is the aspect of exclusivity, and it does not necessitate his control over others from the sincere ones. [8]
Fourth:
Every one of the sons of Adam has a companion from the devils assigned to him, as the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said. According to this, Mary and her son - even though they were protected from his pricks - were not protected from his constant company and company. God Almighty singled out our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, with a special feature that completed His favor upon him by helping him against his devil until his Islam was sound, so that there was no evil with him and he only commanded good. This is a special feature that no one else was given, not Jesus nor his mother. [9]
Here we must compare Islam and Christianity. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
“The devil stabs every son of Adam in the side with his finger when he is born, except for Jesus, son of Mary. He went to stab him and stabbed him in the veil.”
As for the book of the Christians, it says:
(Gospel of Matthew 4:1-4).
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry. Then the tempter came to him and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” He answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
This proves once again that the great Islam is from the generosity of the person of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him.
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
