Dear Mufti Saab,With reference to my previous question (2118) I mean to ask whether it is possible for an ummati to surpass our Nabi (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) in practical deeds (amal) ?

Answer

An Ummati may surpass Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) in the quantity of deeds but not in the quality of deeds as the smallest act of our beloved Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is sufficient to surpass all the good deeds of the entire Ummah.
