Muḥammad bin Jubair bin Muṭ'im narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I have some names: I am Muḥammad, I am Aḥmad, I am Al-Māḥi, the one by whom Allāh wipes out disbelief, I am Al-Ḥāshir, the one whom the people are gathered at his feet, and I am Al-'Aqib, the one after whom there is no Prophet." (Sahīh)

Commentary
These five names express the Prophet's special qualities and distinctive characteristics; Muḥammad, he who has unaccountable praiseworthy characteristics, and admired abundantly; Aḥmad, the foremost in admiring; he ﷺ himself explained the remaining three. He is the first to be raised from the grave and he is the final Prophet. There is no true Prophet after him. Only the Prophet's teachings have this unique status that uproots disbelief and polytheism; and he is the one who eliminated disbelief from the Arab land.
