Commentary for Megillah 27:4
ת"ר ארבעים ושמונה נביאים ושבע נביאות נתנבאו להם לישראל ולא פחתו ולא הותירו על מה שכתוב בתורה חוץ ממקרא מגילה
Our Rabbis taught: “Forty-eight prophets and seven prophetesses prophesied to Israel, and they neither took away from nor added anything to what is written in the Torah save only the reading of the Megillah.”
Rashi on Megillah
Except for the reading of the Megillah (Scroll of Esther): But perhaps you will say, [also] the light of Channukah! [However,] the prophets had already ceased. Whereas in the days of Mordechai, there was Chaggai, Zechariah and Malakhi (they were still alive).
