The Statement of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Being Khatam an-Nabiyyin (Seal of the Prophets) from a Hadith
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik radi Allahu anhu that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
«بعثت أنا والساعة كهاتين»
I and the Hour (Day of Judgment) have been sent like these two (fingers) (close together). [صحيح بخاري: 6504، صحيح مسلم: 2951، دارالسلام: 7404]
By the two fingers are meant the index finger and the middle finger. See: [صحيح مسلم: 7405]
In the explanation of this hadith, Hafiz Ibn Hibban rahimahullah said:
«أراد به أني بعثت والساعة كالسبابة والوسطي من غير أن يكون بيننانبي آخر، لأني آخر الأنبياء و علٰي أمتي تقوم الساعة .»
By this hadith, his intention is that I and the Hour have been sent in such a way as the index finger (the finger of testimony) and the middle finger, that there is no other prophet between us, because I am the last prophet and the Hour will be established upon my Ummah. [صحيح ابن حبان، الاحسان 15/ 13 ح 6640، پر ان انسخه: 6606]
