4287 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النَّحَّاسِ الرَّمْلِيُّ، وَأَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شَوْذَبٍ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نُكْمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ سَبْعِينَ أُمَّةً، نَحْنُ آخِرُهَا وَخَيْرُهَا»

a. According to the popular view, the total number of Messengers is three hundred and thirteen while the number of Prophets is one hundred thousand. Seventy nations, means large nations who remain for a longer time, or the nations to whom many Messengers were sent. b. The Nation of the Prophet ﷺ, is more superior than other nations, but individual superiority is another matter.
