Q: Was there a prophet between prophet jesus and prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Then where was prophet yehya p.b.u.h.? Was he during prophet jesus p.b.u.h.? Because prophet yehya p.b.u.h was a son prophet zakariya p.b.u.h. who was present in the same time as maryam alaihis salaam.

A:

Under the verse ‘Qad jaa’akum rasuluna ubayyinu lakum `ala fatrah’ (Surah Maa’idah, 19) Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad Shafee` (rahmatullahi alaih) quotes from Imaam Bukhaari (rahmatullahi alaih) that the interval between Esa (alaihis salaam) and Nabi (Sallallaahu Aalayhi wa Sallam) was six hundred years and there was no Nabi between them. (معارف القرآن 3/ 90)
They were both in the same era. (قصص القرآن 2/ 263-264)
