Was Ismail (peace be upon him) a prophet and a messenger, or a prophet only?

Ishmael (peace be upon him) was a prophet and a messenger, as explicitly stated in the Holy Quran in Surah Maryam, verse 54. The fatwa mentioned does not deny his messengership; rather, it came in the context of discussing the difference between a prophet (nabi) and a messenger (rasul), stating that a messenger brings a new law, while a prophet calls to a pre-existing law. This is an opinion held by some scholars, mentioned in the fatwa without preference.
