(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِي ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ ابْتَنَى بُنْيَانًا ، فَأَحْسَنَهُ ، وَأَكْمَلَهُ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ لَبِنَةٍ مِنْ زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَاهُ ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُطِيفُونَ بِهِ ، وَيَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهُ ، وَيَقُولُونَ مَا رَأَيْنَا بُنْيَانًا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا ، إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ هَذِهِ اللَّبِنَةِ ، فَكُنْتُ أَنَا هَذِهِ اللَّبِنَةَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of me and the prophets before me is like that of a man who built a very beautiful and splendid building, except that he left a space for one brick in its corner. People would walk around it, marvel at it, and say, "We have never seen a more excellent building than this, except for the place of this brick." So I am that brick.
