“He is the One Who has revealed to you [O Prophet] the Book, of which some verses are precise—they are the foundation of the Book—while others are elusive. Those with deviant hearts follow the elusive verses seeking [to spread] doubt through their [false] interpretations—but…
…none grasps their [full] meaning except Allāh. As for those well-grounded in knowledge, they say, “We believe in this [Qurʾān] —it is all from our Lord.” But none will be mindful [of this] except people of reason.” [3:7]
Our Master ﷺ said: “Do not allow me to find one of you reclining on his sofa when comes a matter from me commanding or prohibiting it and say: We do not know [for] we follow what we found in the Book of Allāh.”
[Aḥmad, Musnad; Abū Dāwūd, Sunan; al Tirmidhī, Jāmiʿ; Ibn Mājah]

The Particularity of the Derivation of the Prophet’s ﷺ Blessed Name from the Name of Allāh ﷻ | Excerpts from Imām Jalāl al Dīn al Suyūṭī’s al Khaṣāʾiṣ al Kubrā
① Ḥassān ibn Thābit raḍiya Allāhu ʿanh said in praise of the Prophet ﷺ:
“Blazing white over him and signifying prophecy is a seal
from Allāh, made of light that glows and testifies.
And the God has joined the name of the Prophet to His
when the caller to the five prayers says: ‘I bear witness…’
And He derived for him [a name] out of His own Name to exalt him,
for the Owner of the ʿArsh is the All-Glorious (maḥmūd) and this is the Glorified One (muḥammad).”
“It is mentioned by some that the first to author [a work] on the Prophetic Birth was Abu al Khaṭṭāb Ibn Diḥyah al Kalbī who passed away in the year 633H and the mawlid was named: “al Tanwīr min Mawlid al Sirāj al Munīr”. He presented it to the King of Irbil, al Muẓaffar,…
…who celebrated the night of his Mawlid ﷺ and day, a celebration that was never heard in such a scale. Thus, he was granted a tremendous reward.
It is not so, rather, there are many who wrote a mawlid before Abu al Khaṭṭāb Ibn Diḥyah. The first that I know of who wrote…
…on it was Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al Wāqidī, the author of al Maghāzī and al Futūḥ, who passed away in the year 206H, or it is said 209H. And he had two books in this topic: “al Mawlid al Nabawī” and “Intiqāl al Nūr al Nabawī”, both of which are quoted by al Suhaylī in…

…the first of the prophets in the creation and the last of them to be sent.” He begins with them before them.
② Abū Sahl al Qaṭṭān in a portion of his works, from Sahl b. Ṣāliḥ al Hamadānī who said: “I asked Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad [al Bāqir] b. ʿAlī: ‘How did Muḥammad ﷺ…
From Sayyidunā ʿAbduLlāh ibn ʿAbbās raḍiya Allāhu ʿanh who said: “I heard the Emissary of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever curses ʿAlī, indeed, he has cursed me. And whoever curses me, indeed, he has cursed Allāh. And whoever curses Allāh, Allāh will place him into the fire of Jahannam…
…on his nose.”

From Sayyidatinā Umm Salamah raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā who said: “I heard the Emissary of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever curses ʿAlī, indeed, he has cursed me. And whoever curses me, indeed, he has cursed Allāh.’”
