Fatwa #21959 February 2001South Africa

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.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
