English

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