Question

Is Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) the naaib of Allah?

Answer

If by naaib, you mean that he is the representative of Allah Ta'ala in passing on the message of Allah Ta'ala to the creation, then this is correct as Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) conveyed the message of Allah Ta'ala to the ummah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
