Kathir ibn Qays said: I was sitting with AbudDarda’ in the mosque of Damascus.

A man came to him and said: AbudDarda, I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for a tradition that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I have come for no other purpose.

He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave neither dinar nor dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.

“Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya” V-4 (page 382 and 410)

In “Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya” V-4 (page 382 and 410), MGA argued that Muslims would be “like the prophets of Israel”. However, MGA didn’t give any specific references. Although it seems that similar hadith exists in many books of hadith, MGA was not accurate in his depiction of these hadith. These hadith simply mean that scholars of Islam will be “like the prophets” in status, since they seek knowledge. MGA also connected this with the concept of Muhaddathiyat and called Hazrat Umar (ra) an example. MGA also alleged that Hazrat Ali received ilham/wahi.

In 1906, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad alleged that Muhammad was “Sahib-i-Khatam” (possessor of the seal of khatam) and could give it out – ahmadiyyafactcheckblog

In 1906, via Haqiqatul Wahi, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad alleged that Muhammad was “Sahib-i-Khatam” (possessor of the seal of khatam) and could give it out (See pages 36-37, online English Edition of Haqiqatul Wahi)(See also Maulvi Muhammad Ali, “Prophethood in Islam” , 1915, pages 567-568).

Furthermore, on pages 117–118 of the online English Edition of Haqiqatul Wahi, MGA argued that Allah made Muhammad (Saw) the “Khatam al Anbiya” and bestowed the seal (Khatam) to Muhammad (saw), at which point, Muhammad (Saw) bestowed it upon MGA (naozobillah)(See also Maulvi Muhammad Ali, “Prophethood in Islam”  1915, page 571).

1980’s–Late
In the late 1980’s, Mirza Tahir Ahmad quoted 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran) and alleged that subordinate prophets can come – ahmadiyyafactcheckblog

In what seems to be the late 1980’s, Mirza Tahir Ahmad was asked by a woman about why prophets are not appearing nowadays. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that via 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran), there is a possibility of subordinate prophets (Ummati Nabi’s). However, Mirza Tahir Ahmad carefully says that this verse only discusses the possibility. Mirza Tahir Ahmad argues that 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran) talks about the rewards given to Muslims for attentively following Muhammad (saw) and these rewards should be greater than what was given to previous generations (Jews). Mirza Tahir Ahmad said the rewards aren’t equal, they are more!

In Part-2 of the same video, Mirza Tahir Ahmad argues that the rewards in 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran) are only for those who obey Muhammad (Saw) and Allah. Again, Mirza Tahir Ahmad says the rewards will be more than what people previously got (the Jews). At 2:22, he quotes the famous hadith about Muslims being “the like of prophets”. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that Muslims are not less than any prophets of Israel (naozobillah) and can reach that status. However, they won’t be called prophets. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that the prophets of Israel were not for the whole world, they were limited in their approach. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that “the like of prophets” can come in large numbers and they are not prophets at all. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that a prophet “Like Muhammad (saw)” isn’t covered in 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran), since this is a prophet for the entire world. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that only prophet will come who is “Like Muhammad (saw)” and that is MGA. Mirza Tahir Ahmad then quotes the famous hadith from Sahih-Muslim Hadith 2937a, The Book of Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour wherein Eisa (as) was called “Nabi-Ullah” 4 times.
