[3376] 507 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahmân and Abû 'Abdullâh Al- Agharr, the freed slave of the Juhannis - who were companions of Abû Hurairah - that they heard Abû Hurairah say: "One prayer in the Masjid of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ is better than a thousand prayers, in any other Masjid, except Al-Masjid Al-Harâm, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ is the last of the Prophets, and his Masjid is the last of the Masâjid." Abû Salamah and Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân said: "We did not doubt that Abû Hurairah was narrating the words of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and this kept us from asking him for proof of that Hadîth. Then when Abû Hurairah died, we discussed that and blamed one another for not speaking to Abû Hurairah about that, so that he could have attributed it to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ if he heard it from him. While we were like that, 'Abdullâh bin Ibrâhîm bin Qârîz sat down with us and we told him this Hadîth and how we had neglected to ascertain whether Abû Hurairah was narrating it directly from the Prophet ﷺ. 'Abdullâh bin Ibrâhîm bin Qârîz said to us: 'I bear witness that I heard Abû Hurairah say: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I am the last of the Prophets and my Masjid is the last of the Masâjid.'"
