Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3274 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The example
وَبِهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : 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 .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of me and the other prophets is like that of a man who built a house, completed it and adorned it well, but in one of its corners the place of one brick remained empty. People began walking around the building, marvelling and saying: 'Why was a brick not placed here so that his building would be complete?' I am that (last) brick; I am the Seal of the Prophets (Khatam al-Nabiyyin); there is no prophet after me."
