Musnad Ahmad 14888

Translation

✧ My likeness and the likeness of the prophets is that of a man who built a house, completed it, and beautified it, except for the place of one brick. People began entering it and marveling, saying, 'If only not for the place of that brick.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I am the place of that brick; I came and sealed the prophets.'
