Transliteration:( Qaala yaa qawmi laisa bee safaahatunw wa laakinnee Rasoolum mir Rabbil 'aalameen )
"He (Hud) said: 'O my people! There is no foolishness in me, but I am a Messenger from the Lord of the worlds.'"
This verse makes it absolutely clear that foolishness and Prophethood cannot coexist. Every Prophet is divinely guided, blessed with extraordinary intelligence, and remains in constant awareness of Allah. They are the best of mankind, and their wisdom is far superior to all others.
The use of the word "but" strongly separates the false accusation from the truth—affirming that a Messenger of Allah cannot be foolish. In reality, the combined intelligence of the entire world is like a drop compared to the ocean when compared to that of a Prophet. Furthermore, the wisdom of all Prophets combined is but a drop before the incomparable intelligence and light of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, the Seal of the Prophets.
