Sheikh Zakaria (RA) seeing angels thrice in his lifetime

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Tafseer Raheemi

Question

salaam shaykh saab. I heard from a student of yours that you told him moulana zakariya (ra) had angels come to him 3 times in his life time. I have heard somewere that after prophet muhammad saw no angel came unto any person. Not even sahabah. Does that make moulana zakariya ra better than the sahabah?

Answer

The question itself is wrong. Not everything the Sahabah did would prevail in those who came after, also it is not necessary that everything that happened to those after the sahabah should be available in them.
Imam Bukhari . died and someone saw in a dream that the prophet (saw) and Sahabah were waiting to receive him you could ask this question that did this happened to any of the Sahabah? But the question would be wrong. Similarly Imam Muslim (RA) was seen after his death and asked how did Allah deal with you and he said “Allah opened up the jannat for me that I could stay wherever I wish”
Another thing is do you know the whole history of Sahabah? It could have happened to some of them but you don’t know because you have not read their seerah, let me tell you some sahabah saw Jibraeel and mikaeel (As) in a battle fighting the enemy side by side with Rasulullah (SAW), this is in Sahih al Bukhari.
When the trustworthy Ulama say some thing we should believe them even if we don’t understand.
