2862. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The parable of myself and the Prophets [before myself] is that of a man who constructed a house. He completed it and made it well, except for the space of one brick. So the people enter it and marvel at it saying: 'If not for the space of this brick.'" (Saḥīḥ) There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah and Ubayy bin Ka'b. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route.

٢٨٦٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، بَصْرِيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِينَاءَ ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلِي كَرَجُلٍ بَنَى دَارًا فَأَكْمَلَهَا وَأَحْسَنَهَا» إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ لَبِنَةٍ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَدْخُلُونَهَا وَيَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْلَا مَوْضِعُ اللَّبِنَةِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Commentary

The construction of the Palace and the Building of Islam began from Ādam; all the Prophets contributed and participated in its construction and structure; this palace came to perfection with the Mission of the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ and the teachings and creeds of Islam reached perfection.
