عن أبي هُرَيرة رضى الله عنه قال: قال رسول اللهﷺ: «أنا أَوْلى الناس بعِيسى بنِ مَريمَ في الدنيا والآخرةِ، والأنبياءُ إِخْوَةٌ لِعَلَّاتٍ؛ أمهاتُهم شتَّى، ودِينُهم واحدٌ»، وفي رواية: «ليس بَيْني وبينَه نَبِيٌّ».
15 - Islam is the faith of all prophets
Abu Hurayrah narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
I am the closest of all people to Jesus son of Mary in both this life and the life to come. Prophets are siblings, having different mothers, but their faith is one. Another version adds: There was no other Prophet between us.
Abu Hurayrah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī
Abu Hurayrah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī embraced Islam in the year in which the Battle of Khaybar took place, i.e. Year 7 of the Hijri calendar. He was the Prophet’s companion who narrated the largest number of his hadiths, because he committed himself to remain close to the Prophet. He was keen to learn the Prophet’s hadiths and he remained for a long time in Madinah. He died in Year 58 AH, 678 CE.
