Hidāyat al-ḤayārāIbn al-Qayyim

He ﷺ also said, "I have been favored over the prophets in six respects: I have been granted concise, comprehensive speech; I have been supported with awe; spoils of war have been made lawful for me; the earth has been made for me pure and a place of worship; I have been sent to all creation; and with me the prophets have been sealed." (1)

Seal of the Prophets:
Accordingly, Muhammad ﷺ is the seal of the prophets and messengers, and his message is the final revelation. Allah—exalted is He—says: "Muhammad is not the father of any of your men; rather, he is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets." (Al-Ahzab 40)

The noble Messenger ﷺ illustrated how his mission completes the earlier ones and how he set the final brick in the structure raised successively by Allah’s honored messengers. He said, "My likeness and that of the prophets before me is like a man who built a house, perfecting and beautifying it except for the place of one brick in a corner. People would walk around it, admire it, and say, ‘Why has this brick not been put in place?’ I am that brick, and I am the seal of the prophets." (2)

وقال ﵊: "فُضِّلت على الأنبياء بست: أُعطيت جوامع الكلم، ونصرت بالرُّعب، وحلت لي الغنائم، وجعلت لي الأرض طهورًا ومسجدًا، وأرسلت إلى الخلق كافة، وختم بي النبيون" (١). خاتم النبيين: ومن ثم كان محمد ﷺ خاتم الأنبياء والمرسلين، وكانت رسالته خاتمة الرسالات: ﴿مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ﴾ [الأحزاب/ ٤٠]. ويصور الرسول الكريم ﷺ ختم رسالته للرسالات السابقة، وكيف أتمَّ البناء الذي تعاقبت عليه رسل الله الكرام، فيقول: "مثلي ومثل الأنبياء من قبلي، كمثل رجل بني بيتًا، فأحسنه وأجمله إلا موضع لبنة من زاوية [من زواياه] فجعل الناس يطوفون به، ويعجبون له، ويقولون: هلَّا وضعت هذه اللبنة؟ فأنا اللبنة وأنا خاتم النبيين" (٢). ودعوته ناسخة للرسالات السابقة: وإذا كان محمد ﷺ قد أرسل من عند الله تعالى بدين بلغ ذروة الكمال الذي لا كمال بعده، وتوجه الخطاب فيه للعالمين كافة، وختم
