Sahih Muslim · Hadith 6281
The Book Pertaining to the Excellent Qualities of the Holy Prophet (may Peace be upon them) and His - كتاب الفضائل
وحدثنا محمد بن رافع، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، حدثنا معمر، عن همام بن منبه، قال هذا ما حدثنا أبو هريرة، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر أحاديث منها وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " أنا أولى الناس بعيسى ابن مريم في الأولى والآخرة " . قالوا كيف يا رسول الله قال " الأنبياء إخوة من علات وأمهاتهم شتى ودينهم واحد فليس بيننا نبي " .
Abu Huraira reported many ahadith from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and one is that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I am most close to Jesus, son of Mary, among the whole of mankind in this worldly life and the next life. They said: Allah's Messenger how is it? Thereupon he said: Prophets are brothers in faith, having different mothers. Their religion is, however, one and there is no Apostle between us (between I and Jesus Christ).
