Q 28: What is the textual proof of the testimony that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?

{Indeed Allah conferred a great favor on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among themselves, recitingunto them His verses (the Qur'an), and purifying them (from sins by their following him), and instructing them (in) the Book (the Qur'an) and Al-­Hikmah [the wisdom and the Sunnah of the Prophet (i.e. his legal ways, statements, acts of worship)], while before that they had been in manifest error}.

{Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him» from amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He is anxious over you;[1] for the believers (he (Peace be upon him» full of pity, kind, and merciful}.

{When the hypocrites come to you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him), they say: "We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah." Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger, and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars indeed}.
