Is what was narrated from one of the scholars true, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) is superior to the Throne of the Lord of the Worlds, and that the spot encompassing his noble body is superior to the Throne, and that scholars have unanimously agreed upon this?
Scholars are unanimous that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, is the best of creation.
The superiority of the spot where the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was buried over all other places is a matter conveyed by Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Lamti in his poetic work, Nudhum Qurrat al-Absar.
As for preferring the spot where the Messenger was buried over the Throne, the people of knowledge have found no discourse on this matter.
Regarding the issue of precedence between Mecca and Medina, the majority view favors Mecca. They cited prophetic traditions as evidence, such as his saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "By Allah, you are the best land of Allah and the most beloved land of Allah to Allah."
