Ronniv,
No problem! We all loose our direction sometimes - the IMPORTANT thing though is to get back on the right track - in a hurry!
What is clear about the hadith is that the Last Prophet, SAAWS says that ALL prophets are paternal brothers, only that their mothers are different. And this of course beacuse they are all CHOSEN by Allah, SWT to forward His Message. He picked them out for their assignment. Therefore their 'status' are alike. And of course the last sentence in this hadith is the Islamic view of things, that all the prophets 'religion' has always been the same, since the fundamental in faith is to worship only One God. Like Islam means, submission. And that is submission to Allah, SWT alone and no one or nothing else.
Regards
