Jubayr ibn Mut?im [Radhiallahu anhu] narrates that Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said, ?I am Muhammad, I am Ahmad, and I am the eraser by whom Allah will erase Kufr, and I am haashir, i.e. after me Qiyaamat will come immediately. Hasher (reckoning) will begin and I am Aaqib after whom no Nabi will come. (Bukhari/Muslim vol.5 pg.104)
Abu Hurayra [Radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said, ?I have been given virtue over all the Anbiyaa in six things; a) I have been given the ability to say much in a few words, b) Against enemies, I have been helped with awe, c) The spoils of war have been made Halaal for me, d) The whole earth has been made a Musjid for me and the sand of the earth has been made a cleanser for me, e) I have been sent as a Nabi to the whole creation, f) Upon me, prophethood has been completed. (Muslim Hadith1167)
Thawbaan [Radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said, ?Soon there will be in my Ummah 30 liars from whom each one will say he is a Nabi, whereas I am the seal of prophets. After me, there will be no Nabi.? (Abu Dawud vol.5 pg.140)
Hadhrat Abu Hurayra [Radhiallaahu anhu] narrates in the long Hadith concerning intercession that Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi wasallam[ said that when people will ask Eesa [Alayhis salaam] to intercede on the day of Qiyaamah, he will say go to Muhammad. The people will say, ?O Muhammad, you are Allah’s messenger and the seal of prophets.? (Muslim vol.1 pg.111; HM Saeed)
Hadhrat Abu Hurayra [Radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said, ?I am the seal of prophets and my Musjid is the last of Masaajid.? (Muslim Hadith3363)
O Muhammad, say, O people, I am the messenger of Allah to you all, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. (Surah7 V158)
Blessed be he who sent down the criterion (of right and wrong) to his slave (Muhammad) that he may be a warner to mankind and Jinns. (25:1)
We have sent you (O Muhammad) as a messenger to mankind. (4:79)
O Mankind, verily there has come to you the messenger (Muhammad) with the truth from your Lord, so believe in him, it is better for you. (4:170)
And we have sent you (O Muhammad), not but as a mercy for the Aalameen (Mankind, Jinns and all that exists). (21:107)
From the above five Aayaats and Ahaadith, it is clear that Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] was sent to all of mankind till the day of Qiyaamah and he is the seal of all prophets. There is no prophet after Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam]
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
