Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 19908a
"مثَلِى ومثَلُ الأنْبِيَاءِ كَمَثَلِ قَصْر أُحْسِن بُنْيانُه وتُركَ مِنْهُ موْضعُ لَبِنَة، فطَاف بهِ النُّظَّارُ يتَعجَّبُونَ مِن حُسْن بُنْيانه إلا موْضِعَ تِلكَ اللبِنةِ لَا يعِيبُون غَيرها، فَكُنْتُ أَنَا سددْتُ موْضِعَ تِلكَ اللبِنَةِ، فَتَمَّ بِى الْبُنْيانُ، وخُتِم بى الرُّسُلُ".

"My example and the example of the prophets is like the example of a palace whose construction was made beautiful, except that a place for one brick was left. So the viewers went around it, marveling at the goodness of its construction, except for the place of that brick; they found no fault in anything else. I was the one who filled the place of that brick, so the building was completed through me, and the messengers were sealed through me."
