“From Abu Huraira, (Allah be pleased with him): Allah's messenger Muhammad SAW) said: “I have been bestowed
with excellence over (other) Prophets in six respects: (1) I have been gifted with comprehensive words, (2) I have been helped
through awe (being put in the hearts of enemies) (3) spoils have been made lawful to me, (4) the whole earth turned into a
mosque for me and a means of purification, (5) I have been ordained as the Prophet for all humanity, and (6) the line of the
Prophets has been terminated with me”. (Sahih Muslim, Vol.1, p.199, Mishkat, p.512)

HADITH: The Last Brick
“From Abu Huraira, (Allah be pleased with him): Allah's messenger SAW) said:
“Certainly my example and the example of prophets earlier than me is like the example of a palace most elegant and most beautiful constructed by a person except (that he left in it) a blank space for a brick in one of its corners and that made the people (who were) going around it wonder
(at its marvellousness) and exclaimed (in perplexion): “Why not is this brick inlaid in here!” The Prophet SAW) said, “I am that (corner's last) brick and I am the last of
the prophets”. Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, p.501 & Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2,

If There Were To Be A Prophet It Would Have Been Umar(RA) It is narrated by Uqba bin Aamer, (Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger Muhammad(SAW) said, “If there could

A man in the time of Imam Abu Hanifa (80 A.H.-150 A.H.) laid claim to Prophet hood and said "Let me show you the proofs of
my prophet hood." The great Imam thereupon warned the people: "Anyone who asks of this man the credentials of prophet hood, shall become an apostate, for the Prophet of God (PBUH)
has explicitly declared: "No prophet will come after me." (Manaqib al-Imam-i-Azam Abi Hanifa, Ibn Ahmad al-Makki,
Vol. I, p.161, published in Hyderabad, India, 1321 A.H.)
