"Muhammad's Prophecy is a Great Bounty from Allah

Allah says;

كَمَا أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيكُمۡ رَسُولاً مِّنكُمۡ يَتۡلُو عَلَيۡكُمۡ ايَاتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيكُمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ الۡكِتَابَ وَالۡحِكۡمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُم مَّا لَمۡ تَكُونُواۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

Similarly (to complete My blessings on you), We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad) of your own, reciting to you Our verses (the Qur'an) and purifying you, and teaching you the Book (the Qur'an) and the Hikmah (i.e., Sunnah, Islamic laws and Fiqh ـ jurisprudence), and teaching you that which you did not know.

Allah reminds His believing servants with what He has endowed them with by sending Muhammad as a Messenger to them, reciting to them Allah's clear Ayat and purifying and cleansing them from the worst types of behavior, the ills of the souls and the acts of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era). The Messenger also takes them away from the darkness (of disbelief) to the light (of faith) and teaches them the Book, the Qur'an, and the Hikmah (i.e., the wisdom), which is his Sunnah. He also teaches them what they knew not.

During the time of Jahiliyyah, they used to utter foolish statements. Later on, and with the blessing of the Prophet's Message and the goodness of his prophecy, they were elevated to the status of the Awliya (loyal friends of Allah) and the rank of the scholars. Hence, they acquired the deepest knowledge among the people, the most pious hearts, and the most truthful tongues.

Allah said:

لَقَدۡ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الۡمُومِنِينَ إِذۡ بَعَثَ فِيهِمۡ رَسُولاً مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ يَتۡلُواۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَـتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ

Indeed, Allah conferred a great favor on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves, reciting unto them His verses (the Qur'an), and purifying them (from sins). (3:164)

Allah also criticized those who did not give this bounty its due consideration, when He said:

أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُواۡ نِعۡمَتَ اللَّهِ كُفۡرًا وَأَحَلُّواۡ قَوۡمَهُمۡ دَارَ الۡبَوَارِ

Have you not seen those who have changed the favors of Allah into disbelief (by denying Prophet Muhammad) and his Message of Islam), and caused their people to dwell in the house of destruction. (14:28)

Ibn Abbas commented,

""Allah's favor means Muhammad.""

Therefore, Allah has commanded the believers to affirm this favor and to appreciate it by thanking and remembering Him:

فَاذۡكُرُونِي أَذۡكُرۡكُمۡ وَاشۡكُرُواۡ لِي وَلَا تَكۡفُرُونِ

Therefore, remember Me. I will remember you, and be grateful to Me, and never be ungrateful to Me.

Mujahid said that Allah's statement:

كَمَا أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيكُمۡ رَسُولاً مِّنكُمۡ

(Similarly (to complete My favor on you), We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad) of your own),

means:Therefore, remember Me in gratitude to My favor.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri commented about Allah's statement:

فَاذۡكُرُونِي أَذۡكُرۡكُمۡ

(Therefore remember Me. I will remember you),

""Remember Me regarding what I have commanded you and I will remember you regarding what I have compelled Myself to do for your benefit (i.e., His rewards and forgiveness).""

An authentic Hadith states:

يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى مَنۡ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفۡسِهِ ذَكَرۡتُهُ فِي نَفۡسِي وَمَنۡ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلٍَ ذَكَرۡتُهُ فِي مَلٍَ خَيۡرٍ مِنۡه

Allah the Exalted said, `Whoever mentions Me to himself, then I will mention him to Myself; and whoever mentions Me in a gathering, I will mention him in a better gathering.'

Imam Ahmad reported that Anas narrated that Allah's Messenger said:

قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَا ابۡنَ ادَمَ إِنۡ ذَكَرۡتَنِي فِي نَفۡسِكَ ذَكَرۡتُك فِي نَفۡسِي إِنۡ ذَكَرۡتَنِي فِي مَلَاٍ ذكَرۡتُكَ فِي مَلَاٍ مِنَ الۡمَلَايِكَةِ أَوۡ قَالَ فِي مَلَاٍ خَيۡرٍ مِنۡهُ وَإِنۡ دَنَوۡتَ مِنِّي شِبۡرًا دَنَوۡتُ مِنۡكَ ذِرَاعًا وَإِنۡ دَنَوۡتَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا دَنَوۡتُ مِنۡكَ بَاعًا وَإنۡ أَتَيۡتَنِي تَمۡشِي أَتَيۡتُكَ هَرۡوَلَة

Allah the Exalted said, `O son of Adam! If you mention Me to yourself, I will mention you to Myself. If you mention Me in a gathering, I will mention you in a gathering of the angels (or said in a better gathering). If you draw closer to Me by a hand span, I will draw closer to you by forearm's length. If you draw closer to Me by a forearm's length, I will draw closer to you by an arm's length. And if you come to Me walking, I will come to you running.

Its chain is Sahih, it was recorded by Al-Bukhari.

Allah said:

وَاشۡكُرُواۡ لِي وَلَا تَكۡفُرُونِ

and be grateful to Me (for My countless favors on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.)

In this Ayah, Allah commands that He be thanked and appreciated, and promises even more rewards for thanking Him.

Allah said in another Ayah:

وَإِذۡ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمۡ لَيِن شَكَرۡتُمۡ لَازِيدَنَّكُمۡ وَلَيِن كَفَرۡتُمۡ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ

And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed:""If you give thanks (by accepting faith and worshipping none but Allah), I will give you more (of My blessings); but if you are thankless (i.e., disbelievers), verily, My punishment is indeed severe. (14:7)

Abu Raja' Al-Utaridi said:

Imran bin Husayn came by us once wearing a nice silken garment that we never ﷺ him wear before or afterwards.

He said, ""Allah's Messenger said:

مَنۡ أَنۡعَمَ اللهُ عَلَيۡهِ نِعۡمَةً فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ أَنۡ يَرَى أَثَرَ نِعۡمَتِهِ عَلَى خَلۡقِه

Those whom Allah has favored with a bounty, then Allah likes to see the effect of His bounty on His creation),

or he said,

عَلَى عَبۡدِه

""on His servant"" - according to Ruh (one of the narrators of the Hadith)."
