NARRATED ABU HURAYRAH: THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH ﷺ SAID: “MY SIMILITUDE AND THAT OF THE PROPHETS BEFORE ME IS LIKE THAT OF A MAN WHO BUILT A HOUSE BEAUTIFULLY AND EXQUISITELY, EXCEPT FOR ONE BRICK MISSING FROM A CORNER. PEOPLE WOULD WALK AROUND IT, MARVELING AT ITS BEAUTY, AND SAY, ‘WOULD THAT THIS BRICK HAD BEEN PLACED!’ HE SAID: ‘I AM THAT BRICK, AND I AM THE SEAL OF THE PROPHETS.’”
