حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِي، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ ابْتَنَى بُنْيَانًا، فَأَحْسَنَهُ وَأَكْمَلَهُ، إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ لَبِنَةٍ مِنْ زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَاهُ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُطِيفُونَ بِهِ وَيَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهُ، وَيَقُولُونَ: مَا رَأَيْنَا بُنْيَانًا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا، إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ هَذِهِ اللَّبِنَةِ. فَكُنْتُ أَنَا تِلْكَ (١) اللَّبِنَةَ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: The example of me and the prophets before me is like that of a man who built a very beautiful and splendid building, except that he left a space for one brick in its corner. People would walk around it, marvel at it, and say, "We have never seen a more excellent building than this, except for the place of this brick." So I am that brick.
