Why Preserve the Bp Reason 8
To Obey The Prophet’s saw order
The Prophet’s saw Order
To safeguard heritage, the Prophet saw commanded:
“Do not demolish old buildings; for they are the ornament of the city.” This included the bp.
The Order was a Revelation
When the Prophet saw ordered that the buildings be preserved, it was not a casual remark or a non-binding request. He saw was announcing an explicit revelation that had been sent to Him saw by Allah.
During His prophethood, the Prophet saw received two types of revelation from Allah. The first type is called al wahy al matluw - the recited revelation - and refers to the Quran.
The second kind of revelation is known as al wahy ghayr al matluw - the unrecited revelation. This is the form of revelation that the Prophet saw articulated in His saw sayings (hadith) and His saw actions. It is referred to in Surat al-Najm:
"Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is no less than revelation sent down to him." (53:3-4) (Surat al-Najm: 3-4)
As the ayah above indicates, the Prophet saw did not speak of His saw own desires. He saw did not formulate His saw own laws and regulations. All commandments were decreed by Allah. The Prophet‟s saw role was simply to express to humans what was revealed to Him saw by Allah.
Surah??????????? further clarifies the role of un-recited revelation (al wahy ghayr al matluw): refers to
“Move not your tongue with it in order to hasten it. It is on Us to gather (in your heart) and to recite it. So, when We read it, follow its reading. Then it is on Us to explain it“.
Here, Allah refers to the Quran and announces that He will “explain it” (the meaning of the Quran) to the Prophet saw. It is evident, that, in announcing this, Allah is confirming that the explanation will be a separate revelation from the Quran - for had the explanation been included in the Quran, then, there would have been no need for Allah to emphasise that He will be explaining it. This explanation, in fact, is found in the hadith of the Prophet saw and was received through un-recited revelation (al wahy ghayr al matluw).
