This book is an invaluable resource of countless narrations and statements of the Salaf as well as the later and present day Scholars of the Ummah indicating that the people of hadeeth (Ashaabul-Hadeeth, Ahlul-Hadeeth) are in fact the Saved Sect and Victorious Group. The Ahlul-Hadeeth are those who adhere to the athaar and are greatly concerned with them, purifying them, authenticating them and acting upon them; and these are none other than the Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah.
From the Back of the Book:
Stated Abul-Mudhaffar as-Sam’aanee (d.498H) in al-Intisaar li-Ahlil-Hadeeth (p. 45), “And from that which proves that the Ahlul-Hadeeth are upon the truth is that if you were to read all of their written books, from the first of them to the last of them, their old and new, along with the fact that they lived in different countries and times and there were long distances in between them and each one of them lived in a region from amongst the regions, you will find them upon a single way and a single matter with regards to the explanation of the creed. They led the way upon this path and did not deviate from it nor swerve. Their statement concerning that was one and their action was one. You would not see any difference or division amongst them in anything, even if it was small. Rather, if you were to gather up what had been stated upon their tongues, and whatever had been quoted from their Salaf, you would find that it was as if it all came from one heart and was stated upon one tongue. So is there a clearer evidence of the truth than this?”

From the author's introduction:
"I have resolved to compile a treatise about the issue of the differences between the Prophets and Messengers, because I saw a need for that. (This need) is due to there being some ambiguity towards understanding some of the verses and ahaadeeth connected to this great issue, and the scarcity of what has been written about this topic. Some of the contemporaries have written concerning that, proceeding upon (the notion) that there is no difference; and I consider this to be insufficient with regards to transmission of the speech and writings of the people of knowledge concerning this issue. I do not deem that I have come with something new; in my estimation, I have gathered some of the evidences and statements of the people of knowledge to make clear for the reader the difference between the Prophets and Messengers. And this distinction is important because it is linked to the ‘aqeedah and it includes giving everyone from amongst them his right; and placing the Prophets in their proper station and the Messengers in their proper station. And this occurs from a completion of honour and reverence for Allaah's Prophets and Messengers; and from the completion of Justice is giving them their rights."
Blurb:
From the pillars of the Islaam is the belief in the Prophets and Messengers. The book before you explains this belief and educates the reader upon the upright creed of ahlus-sunnah wal-jama'aah without tafreet (neglect) or ifraat (exaggeration).
The author lists twelve differences between a Prophet and a Messenger:
The First: The Prophet is the one who Allaah Informs
The Second: Most of the Messengers were sent to a Disbelieving People
The Third: The Messenger is sent with the Language of his People
The Fourth: The Messengers continue Conveying the Religion of Allaah to their people up until they embrace Islaam or Allaah destroys them
The Fifth: The Messengers’ Legislation was Different in Most Cases
The Sixth: The First of the Messengers was Nooh (‘alayhi salaam)
The Seventh: The Difference between the Number of Prophets and Messengers
The Eighth: The Saving of the Messengers
The Ninth: The Messengers were denied by their People
The Tenth: There are Specific Rights of the Messengers
The Eleventh: The Agreement amongst the Scholars upon One Statement – that Maryam, Aasiyah, Haajar and the Mother of Moosaa – were not Messengers…
The Twelfth: The Virtue of the Messengers over the Prophets
After establishing these differences and the importance of having a correct understanding of the issue, the author discusses the need for Prophets and Messengers and the Wisdom behind them being sent by Allaah to Mankind. He dispels prevalent misconceptions and errors, including those who claim, "There is no difference between the Prophets and Messengers." He illustrates the correct understanding and status of the awliyaa and concludes by addressing and refuting the horrible errors and gross exaggeration of the some of the deviated sects. A comprehensive read on a matter that is widely misunderstood.
