Muslim doctrine holds Christ admits usurping divine glory while only Muhammad prays effectively.

Evidence

Fr. Antonio de’ Reboldi understood the Muslim doctrine more clearly: he said that all the prophets at the judgement would admit that they had sinned, so that Muhammad would pray God to spare them. Christ would be accused by God of setting Himself to usurp the divine glory, and He would admit His fault; only Muhammad would be recognised as faithful, and Jesus would be spared for his sake. This puts Christ in a less favourable position than Islam normally alleges of Him; it is usually said that He cannot pray to God for His people, because they, his followers, have set Him up to be God. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 1789
