Sahih Muslim 2287a

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ، بْنُ مِينَاءَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ بَنَى دَارًا فَأَتَمَّهَا وَأَكْمَلَهَا إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ لَبِنَةٍ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَدْخُلُونَهَا وَيَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَقُولُونَ لَوْلاَ مَوْضِعُ اللَّبِنَةِ ‏"‏ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ فَأَنَا مَوْضِعُ اللَّبِنَةِ جِئْتُ فَخَتَمْتُ الأَنْبِيَاءَ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Jabir

English translation
Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The similitude of mine and that of the Apostles is like that of a person who built a house and he completed it and made it perfect but for the space of a brick. People entered therein and they were surprised at it and said: Had there been a brick (it would have been complete in all respects). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I am that place where the brick (completing the building is to be placed), and I have come to finalise the chain of Apostles

আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শাইবাহ্ (রহঃ) ..... জাবির (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আমার উপমা এবং নবীগণের উপমা সে লোকের উপমা তুল্য, যে একটি বাড়ি তৈরি করল এবং সে তা সম্পূর্ণ ও পূর্ণাঙ্গ করল, তবে একটি ইটের স্থান ছাড়া। লোকেরা তাতে ঢুকতে লাগল এবং তা দেখে আশ্চর্য হতে লাগল এবং বলাবলি করতে থাকল, যদি এ একখানি ইটের স্থান খালি না থাকত (তবে কতই না উত্তম হত)। রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, আমি হলাম সে ইটের স্থানে। আমি আগমন করলাম এবং নবীগণের পরম্পরা শেষ করলাম। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫৭৬৪, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
