We know that Salman al Farsi (RA) and other people, looked
for the seal/symbol of the Prophet on his back, before accepting Islam. Now the
question is, how did they know to look for it? Let’s see the Shama’il, about an
account of Salman’s story, mentioned by Buraydah:
“He had seen the signs of Sayyidina Rasullullah (Muhammed Sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) in the books of previous Prophets that he
will not accept sadaqah, but shall accept presents and gifts, and the seal of
Prophethood will be between his two shoulders
after witnessing the first two signs). He then saw the ‘Seal of Prophethood’ on the back
of Sayyidina Rasullullah (Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and embraced
Islam.”
So I asked Ali Ataie about a verse in the Bible which talks
about a person to be born (as it talks about “will be”) with a symbol on his
shoulder/back, and he said:
“Isaiah 9:6...the Hebrew "vat-hi ham-misrah
'al-shikhmo" literally, "the
symbol of dominion will be upon his shoulder." The seal of the Prophet
(s) was directly behind his heart which means that it was more oriented towards
the left. This could refer to the extreme right portion of his left shoulder
blade- which is also his back. The hadith of Imam Ali says "bayna
katifayhi," between his shoulders - but I don't think that this negates
the blade of the shoulder. Allahu 'Alim.
I just checked the Lexicon Strongs' Concordance and the
Hebrew word shekhem can be translated as "back" as well. In Psalm 21:12, it is translated as
"back" in the King James.”
So there you go, Alhamdulillah for the blessings of Islam.
We find another proof for the Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) in
the Bible. Here’s some more on the topic by Ali Ataie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzYzBuh7aCk
