Hadith 33

God's Messenger said:
I seek The Mighty and Majestic God's forgiveness
and I turn in repentance to Him
hundreds of times
every day

Muhammad s.a.a.S is the cornerstone foretold by prophet Jesus a.s.

it is reported by Abu Hurayrah
that God's Messenger (s.a.a.s) said,
"My similitude in comparison with the prophets before me is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully,
except for a place of one brick in a corner
The people go about it and wonder at its beauty, but say:
'Would that this brick be put in its place!'
So I am that brick,
and I am the seal of the prophets"
[Sahih al-Bukhari, with similar wording in Sahih Muslim, Musnad Ahmad, Sunan al-Kubra of an-Nasa'i, and Sahih Ibn Hibban]

Jesus (a.s.) said to them,
‘Have you never read in the scriptures:
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the CORNERSTONE
this was the Lord’s doing,
and it is amazing in our eyes”?
Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produces the fruits of the kingdom.
The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.’
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they realized that he was speaking about them.
They wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowds,
because they regarded him as a PROPHET
[Matthew 21:42-46]
