Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates: The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The example of me and the prophets before me is like a person who built a building and constructed it excellently; he completed it but left the place of one brick in a corner. People walk around the building, admire it, and say: Why was this brick not placed? The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I am that brick, I am the one who completes the series of prophets. May Allah send blessings upon them."
