Yes he was/is (topic for another day) an ordinary man. At the same time he best of all creation. Allah Swt himself puts RasoolAllah on that pedestal.
Like brother Psyah said, follow the example of the Sahabah. They thought of him as a man but then would try to be to the first to get the water from the Prophet’s Saw ablutions? Why? Did they know something that we don’t?

:salam2: Brother STONECOLD - I agree with you that we have to follow the example of the Sahabah (may Allah Almighty be pleased with them all) They truly loved the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and proved it so with their deeds and sacrifices.

They not only just thought that he was a man - they KNEW that he was a man - Bashar.

Allah Almighty is witness that the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us complete Islam and held nothing back - same is case about the blessed Sahabah (may Allah Almighty be pleased with them all) - if “they knew something that we don’t” do you think that they held something back?

I am sure you didn’t mean that.

If you refer to earliest sources that you will have no problem believing that the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was human with all the qualities of Prophet hood included. He was the best Human ever.

All these disputes crept in after the third generationafter the Blessed Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) passing away.

The Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had warned us that after the third generation many disputes will enter into Islam and that we must stick to what the Quran and Sunnah have to say about matters.
