Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: Prayer in the mosque of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) is more excellent than a thousand prayers in other mosques except the Masjid al-Haram, for Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) is the last of the Apostles, and his mosque is the last of the mosques. Abu Salama and Abu'Abdullah (two of the narrators in this chain of narrations said: We had no doubt that what Abu Haraira (RA) had said was from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and so we did not like to get an attestation from Abu Hurairah (RA) about this hadith until Abu Hurairah (RA) died. We discussed it (the issue of getting attestation from Abu Hurairah (RA)) amongst ourselves and blamed one another as to why we did not talk about it to Abu Hurairah (RA) regarding it so that he could attribute its transmission to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in case he had heard it from him. While we were discussing it as we sat with 'Abdullah bin Ibrahlm bin Qariz; we made a mention of this hadith, and our omission (in getting its attestation) about its direct transmission by Abu Hurairah (RA) from him (the Holy Proohet); thereupon'Abdullah bin Ibrahim said to us: I bear witness to the fact that I heard Abu Hurairah (RA) say that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I am the last of the Apostles and my mosque is the last of the mosques.
