“It is reported from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: My likeness and the likeness of the prophets before me is the likeness of a person who built a house, made it beautiful and made it complete, except the place of a stone in the corner. So people began to go round and to wonder at him and say: Why have you not placed this stone? He (i.e., the Holy Prophet) said: I am that stone and I am Khatam an-Nabiyyin (the Seal of the Prophets)”. (Al-Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Manaqib, ch. Khatam an-Nabiyyin; Al-Muslim; Tirmidhi, Abwab al-Manaqib, etc
This hadithhas been mentioned in *Sahih *of al-Bukhari, al-Muslim, Imam Ahmad, Nasai and others with a slight difference in words but the sum and substance is the same. In some, the Holy Prophet is reported to have said that in the edifice of prophethood there was only one place left for a brick and he was that brick. And in some reports the words, ‘I am Khatam an-Nabiyyin’ and in some others that ‘prophets have been brought to an end with him’, have been added
“The Day of Judgement will not be set up unless some tribes of my *Ummah have joined the polytheists and unless they have started worshipping idols. *And surely there shall be among my followers thirty liars, everyone of them asserting that he is a prophet, but I am *Khatam an-Nabiyyin *(the Seal of the Prophets). There is no prophet after me.” (Al-Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Tauhid; al-Muslim, Abwab al-Fitan; Al-Darmi; Ibn Majah
This hadith is also a unanimously accepted one
"Surely messengership and prophethood have been cut off. There will neither be a messenger after me nor a prophet. His saying of this became hard on people so he said: Mubashshirat (good news) will be left. (Musnad, Imam Ahmad; Tirmizi
“Prophets used to administer among the Israelites. When a prophet died another prophet became his successor. But there will be no prophet after me. Soon there will be *khalifahs *and they will be many.” (Sahih of al-Bukhari and Muslim; Musnad of Imam Ahmad; Ibn Majah.
There is nothing left of prophethood except mubashshirat (good news)." (Unanimously accepted
“I am Muhammad and I am Ahmad and I am al-Mahi (the one who obliterates) by which God, the Most High, will help me efface unbelief; and I am *al-Hashir *(the gatherer) – at whose feet people will be gathered and I am *al-Aqib *(the one who comes last) after whom there is no prophet.” (Bukhari, Muslim
“I have been given superiority over prophets in six things… Prophets have come to an end with me” (Muslim, Nasa’i, Tirmizi
“It is reported from Sa’d, son of Abi Waqqas, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said to Ali: ‘You stand to me in the same relation as Aaron stood to Moses, except that there is no prophet after me.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Muslim, Mishkat al-Masabih, ch. Manaqib Ali
“Had there been a prophet after me it would have been Umar.” (Tirmizi ch. Manaqib Umar)
Re: Hadiths on Finallity of Prophet Muhammad (saww)
Nicely Shared and To the point ..So thanx ..
aur as the saying goes ''insaan k liye ishaara hi kaafi hai'' ... aur jo ishara nahi samaj sakta/i ..then ..theres no doubt that this saying isnt for the 'insaan' :)
Re: Hadiths on Finallity of Prophet Muhammad (saww)
well some people tend to differ between the meaning of Rasool and Nabi in Quran ; i thought lets share what Prophet Muhammad (saww) has to say about it.
i request the mods to make this thread a sticky to forever end this argument. if you agree vote yes below and no to declare other wise :)
Re: Hadiths on Finallity of Prophet Muhammad (saww)
I think La ilaha Ila Allah, Muhammad Rasool Allah is enough for every one to learn the reality of Islam.
"MAA KAANA MUHAMMADUN ABAA AHADIN MIRRIJAALIKUM WALAAKIN RASOOLALLAHI WA KHATAMAN NABIYYEEN..." (The Holy Quran, Chapter 33; verse 41 including Bismillah .. as a verse)
Meaning:
MUHAMMAD IS NOT THE FATHER OF ANY OF YOUR MALES BUT IS A MESSENGER OF ALLAH AND IS THE SEAL OF THE PROPHETS...
And more on there are HUNDREDS of verses in Quran that state the finality of the prophet hood. =]
Re: Hadiths on Finallity of Prophet Muhammad (saww)
I want to share an ayat from the Glorious Quran that points to finality of
Prophet Muhammad Peace and blessings be upon him.
surah maidah(5 3)
"On this day have I perfected your way of life,completed My Favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your way of life."
Now its Islam.
Not bahaullah islam,moderated islam,extremist islam or" islam ahmediyya".
When u go on and register trademarks preaching your ideas,for your motives then it ceases to be islam.
Now if u dont want to follow Islam and want to follow your trademark registered set of ideas and paranoid dreams then something is definitely wrong with u.
brother
Spoken like a true Mussalman.
