وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ قَبَّلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَعْنِي ابْنَهُ
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kissed his son Ibrahim.
حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، قُلْتُ
لِابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى : رَأَيْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَاتَ صَغِيرًا ، وَلَوْ قُضِيَ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَبِيٌّ عَاشَ ابْنُهُ ، وَلَكِنْ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ " .
Narrated Isma`il: I asked Abi `Aufa, "Did you see Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet ?" He said, "Yes, but he died in his early childhood. Had there been a Prophet after Muhammad then his son would have lived, but there is no Prophet after him."

Hadith Commentary:
Neither a shadowy (zilli) nor a representative (baroozi) prophet, as the deceivers (dajajilah) of today claim.
May Allah guide them.
Now, until the Day of Judgment, only your (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) prophethood will remain.
If anyone stands up as a new claimant to prophethood, then he is a Dajjal.
He is a liar.
He is outside the fold of Islam.
If Allah had decreed that there would be a prophet after him, he (the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would have lived (until that time), but he is the Seal of the Prophets.
