“From Abu Huraira, (Allah be pleased with him): Allah's
messenger Muhammad SAW) said: “I have been bestowed
with excellence over (other) Prophets in six respects: (1) I have
been gifted with comprehensive words, (2) I have been helped
through awe (being put in the hearts of enemies) (3) spoils have
been made lawful to me, (4) the whole earth turned into a
mosque for me and a means of purification, (5) I have been
ordained as the Prophet for all humanity, and (6) the line of the
Prophets has been terminated with me”.

HADITH:
The Last Brick
“From Abu Huraira, (Allah be pleased with him): Allah's
messenger SAW) said:
“Certainly my example and the example of prophets
earlier than me is like the example of a palace most elegant
and most beautiful constructed by a person except (that he
left in it) a blank space for a brick in one of its corners and
that made the people (who were) going around it wonder
(at its marvellousness) and exclaimed (in perplexion):
“Why not is this brick inlaid in here!” The Prophet SAW)
said, “I am that (corner's last) brick and I am the last of
the prophets”.

nor a ‘nabi' after me'.

thirty liars, each of them will pretend that he is a prophet but I
am the last of the prophets, there shall be no prophet after me” .

If There Were To Be A Prophet It Would Have Been Umar(RA)
It is narrated by Uqba bin Aamer, (Allah be pleased with him)

ever be a prophet after me, indeed Umar bin Khattab would
have been such”.

A man in the time of Imam Abu Hanifa (80 A.H.-150 A.H.) laid
claim to Prophet hood and said "Let me show you the proofs of
my prophet hood." The great Imam thereupon warned the
people: "Anyone who asks of this man the credentials of prophet
hood, shall become an apostate, for the Prophet of God (PBUH)
has explicitly declared: "No prophet will come after me."
(Manaqib al-Imam-i-Azam Abi Hanifa, Ibn Ahmad al-Makki,
Vol. I, p.161, published in Hyderabad, India, 1321 A.H.)
