What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "If Muhammad (peace be upon him) had not existed, Allah the Almighty would not have created the universe"?
The hadiths that indicate Allah created the universe for the sake of Muhammad (peace be upon him), such as: "Were it not for you, I would not have created the celestial spheres," or "Were it not for Muhammad, I would not have created Adam, and were it not for Muhammad, I would not have created Paradise and Hell," are false, fabricated hadiths with no basis in the Prophetic . Scholars such as Al-Shawkani, Al-Albani, Ibn Taymiyyah, the Permanent Committee, and Ibn Baz have clarified the weakness or fabrication of these hadiths. Allah Almighty created the heavens and the earth so that He alone would be known and worshipped, and not for the sake of Muhammad (peace be upon him) or any other prophet.
