وَبِهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ بَنَى دَارًا فَأَكْمَلَهَا وَحَسَّنَهَا، وَبَقِيَتْ مِنْ زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَاهَا مَوْضِعُ لَبِنَةٍ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُطِيفُونَ بِبُنْيَانِهِ، يَتَعَجَّبُونَ، وَيَقُولُونَ: فَهَلَّا وَضَعَ هَاهُنَا لَبِنَةً فَأَكْمَلَ بِهَا بِنَاءَهُ ؟ فَأَنَا ذَلِكَ، أَنَا خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ، لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي

✧ My example and the example of the prophets is like a man who built a house, completed it, and beautified it, except for a place for one brick in one of its corners. People began to go around his building, marveling and saying, "Why did he not place a brick here to complete his building?" I am that brick, and I am the seal of the prophets; there is no prophet after me.
