Almuhtada.org – Prophet Shith was the son of Prophet Adam. But Prophet Syits AS is not included in the 25 Prophets and Messengers mentioned in the Qur’an.
From Abi Dzar Al-Ghifari RA, Rasulullah SAW said when asked about the number of prophets. “(The number of prophets) is one hundred twenty-four thousand (124,000) prophets.”
The friend asked again, “Then how many messengers were there among them?” He replied, “Three hundred and twelve (312).” (HR At Tirmizi)
Quoting from the book Qashash al-Anbiyaa translated by Saefullah MS, Ibn Kathir said that the meaning of the name Syits is a gift from Allah SWT. The name was given by Prophet Adam and his wife, Hawa, to the newborn Prophet Shith after the killing of Habil at the hands of his own brother.
Although not as famous as other prophets, Prophet Syits AS received 50 sheets of suhuf from Allah SWT to deliver to humanity. Suhuf is a collection of sheets containing the words of Allah SWT.
The Early Life of the Prophet Sheth
Quoting the book “Akhlak Para Nabi” by Taj Langroodi, when Prophet Syits AS was born, Prophet Adam AS was already 930 years old.
Prophet Adam AS chose Prophet Syits AS to continue his journey, because this son of Prophet Adam AS has advantages in terms of knowledge, intelligence, devilry, and obedience compared to other children.
Prophet Syits AS was the execution of Prophet Adam’s will after he lost his favorite son, Habil. He was born five years after Qabil killed Habil, exactly 235 years after Prophet Adam AS was revealed from heaven to earth.
Prophet Syits chose to live in Makkah, where he could continuously perform minor hajj (umrah) and major hajj (pilgrimage). He rebuilt the Kaaba using thick mud and piles of stones.
Trusted to Keep the Nur of the Prophet Muhammad, Prophet Syits AS is the next after Prophet Adam AS and Hawa who is trusted to keep the Nur of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Quoting the book Collection of Religious Questions and Answers by Kyai Abdullah Alif, in a history it is said that Allah SWT first created the Nur of the Prophet Muhammad before He created Adam, Hawa, the universe and its contents.
Sheikh Yusuf bin Ismail An-Nabhani in the Book of Hujatullah states that previously the nur of the Prophet Muhammad SAW always seemed to shine on the face of the Prophet Adam, glowing like the sun that shines brightly.
Then, Allah SWT took an agreement from the Prophet Adam AS to always keep the nur. Prophet Adam AS accepted it with joy, then the nur resided in Siti Hawa.
After that, a son was born named the Prophet Syits. Initially the nur that was in Hawa was then transferred to the Prophet Syits AS. The Nur appeared on the face of Prophet Syits AS, so that Prophet Adam AS always paid attention and guarded Prophet Syits AS.
Prophet Syits AS grew into a person with noble morals. In fact, Allah SWT sent a beautiful and beautiful angel for him.
Referring to the book The Prophet: The Story of Wisdom of 25 Prophets of Allah by Diah Noviyanti, the death of Prophet Syits AS occurred when he fell ill. Instead, he appointed his son named Anush to carry out his will.
The Prophet Syits AS died at the age of 912 years and was buried next to the graves of his parents, namely in the Cave of Mount Abu Qubais. [] Fahdina Dean Y
