Why did the marble not bear witness to the lie of Al-Harith Al-Dimashqi when he invoked Allah, while inanimate objects bore witness to the truthfulness of the Prophets?
Notes before the answer: 1. Al-Harith al-Dimashqi was killed by Muslims, not by his "enemies." 2. It is not correct to describe the extraordinary feats of sorcerers as miracles. 3. Prayers should be invoked upon the Prophet when he is mentioned.
The answer: It is not necessary for inanimate objects to bear witness to the falsehood of a claimant to prophethood, just as it is not necessary for them to bear witness to the truthful prophet. The numerous miracles demonstrate the truthfulness of the prophets, and the numerous circumstances indicate the falsehood of the imposters.
