English Translation

It was narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) through his son al-Tufayl that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'My example among the prophets is like a man who built a house, made it excellent, beautiful, and complete, but left the place of one brick. People would circle the building, admiring it, saying: If only this brick were placed!'
