Luqman
'Luqman' () is the name of a person mentioned in the
sura named after him,
Sura Luqman, but it is unclear whether he is a prophet or a
wali. According to the most wide-spread Shiite belief, Luqman was a wise man, but not a prophet nor a
wali. The reported news hold that Luqman had a dream, and in that dream he was asked to choose between being a King and a wise man, and he chose the second. According to
Sunni belief, Luqman was once asked:"What has brought you to what we see?" meaning his high rank. Luqman said, "Truthful speech, fulfilling the trust, and leaving what does not concern me."
