returned from there and embraced Islam."[1]
The fourth Caliph of Islam, Sayyidunā ꜤAlī b. Abī Ṭālib رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, states:
"Once, I was ill and came to the blessed court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He made me stand in his place and then became engrossed in salah. He then placed a part of his blessed shawl over me. (After the prayer), he said: O ꜤAlī! You have become well, and there is no suffering upon you. Everything that I asked of Allah for myself, I also asked for you, and everything that I desired, Allah granted me, but He said to me: لَا نَبِیَّ بَعْدَکَ (O Beloved Prophet! There is no Prophet after you).' Sayyiduna ‘Alī رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ said: "I became well at that very moment as if I had never been ill."[2]
Dear Islamic brothers! There is a very famous, short, and beautiful hadith that explains the belief in the Finality of Prophethood in a completely clear and plain manner: لَا نَبِیَّ بَعْدِی.

Therefore, we should try to memorise this short hadith and also teach it to our children. What a blessed hadith it is: لَا نَبِیَّ بَعْدِی (There is no Prophet after me).[3]
