We have previously expressed our opinion regarding the aforementioned book. This also includes what Abu Dawud and others narrated from Aws ibn Aws, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, among the best of your days is Friday, so send abundant blessings upon me on it, for your blessings are presented to me." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can our blessings be presented to you when you have decayed?" — they said, meaning "become old and worn out" — He said: "Indeed, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the prophets."
