Lyrics & Translation:
قال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
“إِنَّ لِي أَسْمَاءً، أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَنَا أَحْمَدُ، وَأَنَا الْمَاحِي الَّذِي يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِيَ الْكُفْرَ،
وَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ الَّذِي يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ عَلَى قَدَمِي، وأنا العاقبُ (والعاقبُ الذي ليس بعده نبيٌّ)”.
رواه البخاري ومسلم
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
“I have many names: I am Muhammad; I am Ahmad;
I am Al-Mahi (The Eraser), by whom Allah erases blasphemy;
I am Al-Hashir (The Gatherer), before whom people are gathered (on the Day of Judgement);
I am Al-‘Aqib (the Last Prophet), after whom there are no more Prophets;
