Is this a Hadith?
‘Ana mu’allimun’ (انا معلّم- I am a teacher)
Answer
I have not come across these words in a Hadith.
Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded a Hadith wherein Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘بعثني معلّما’ [Ba’athani mu’alliman- Allah sent me as a teacher].
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1478. See here)
Imam Ibn Majah (rahimahullah) has recorded the following words on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma): ‘بعثت معلّما’ [Bu’ithtu mu’alliman- I have been sent as a teacher].
(Sunan ibn Majah, Hadith: 229)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
