It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, I have some names; I am Muhammad, I am Ahmad, I am Hashir—people will be gathered at my feet, I am Mahi—that is, through me disbelief will be erased, and I am Aqib, and Aqib is the one after whom there is no prophet.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … MUHAMMAD: The personality who has been praised.
AHMAD: The one who expresses the most praise and glorification among those who praise Allah, exalted is He.
AL-HASHIR: The one at whose feet the people will be gathered, meaning that after the prophethood of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, people will be gathered for the Resurrection, because he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the last Prophet; that is, after his prophethood, the Day of Judgment will come—it cannot come before.
AL-MAḤĪ: Its literal meaning is "the one who erases" and "the one who removes the effect." The intended meaning is that person through whom disbelief (kufr) will be erased from those regions of the earth to which the religion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reaches, and ultimately, at the time of the descent of ‘Isa alayhis salam, all disbelief will be eradicated.
AL-‘AQIB: The literal meaning is "the one who comes at the end of all." The intended meaning is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the Seal of the Prophets (Khatam an-Nabiyyin).
