Ibn Arabi also refers to a relation between "nabi" and "wali". He believed that although the prophet is indeed superior to wali, "nabi" is himself a "wali" besides being prophet. Ibn Arabi also mentioned that the wali-aspect of nabi's being is superior to the nabi-dimension. Syed Ahmad Khan agreed with Ibn Arabi's view and explained it.
