It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“I am the leader of the sons of Adam, and it is no boast. I will be the first one for whom the earth will be split open on the Day of Resurrection, and it is no boast. I will be the first to intercede and the first whose intercession will be accepted, and it is no boast. The banner of praise will be in my hand on the Day of Resurrection, and it is no boast.”

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“As for the people of Hell, who are its people (i.e., its permanent residents), they will neither die nor live therein. But there are some people who will be punished with fire because of their sins, whom it will kill, then when they have become like coal, permission will be granted for intercession for them. They will be brought, group by group, and scattered on the banks of the rivers of Paradise. It will be said: ‘O people of Paradise, pour water on them.’ Then they will grow like seeds carried by a flood (i.e., quickly).”A man among the people said: It is as if the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has been in the desert.”

It was narrated that Jabir said:`“I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: ‘My intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be for those among my nation who committed major sins.’”

It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“I was given the choice between being admitted to Paradise, and I chose intercession, because it is more general and more sufficient. Do you think it is for the pious? No, it is for the impure sinners.”

Narrated by Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The believers will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection and something will be cast into their hearts, or they will begin to think (the narrator of the hadith, Sa'id, was uncertain), so they will say: If we could seek intercession with our Lord, He would relieve us from this state. They will all come to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: You are Adam, the father of all mankind, Allah created you with His own hand and made the angels prostrate to you, so intercede for us with your Lord that He may relieve us from this place. He will say: I am not fit for this – he will recall his sin and complain of it before them, and will be ashamed of it, then he will say: But go to Noah, for he was the first Messenger whom Allah sent to the people of the earth. They will all come to Noah (peace be upon him), and he will say to them: I am not fit to go before Allah, and he will recall the question he asked his Lord about something of which he had no knowledge, and will be ashamed of it. Then he will say: But go to Ibrahim, the close friend of the Most Merciful. They will all go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and he will also say: I am not fit for this, but go to Musa (peace be upon him), a servant to whom Allah spoke and to whom He gave the Torah. They will all come to him, and he will say: I am not fit (he will recall the killing he did unintentionally), but go to Isa (peace be upon him), who is Allah's servant, His Messenger, His word, and a spirit from Him. They will all come to him, and he will say: I am not fit, but go to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), a servant whose past and future sins Allah has forgiven. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Then they will come to me and I will go (according to Hasan's narration, I will walk between the two rows of the believers). I will seek permission from my Lord, and I will be granted permission. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration before Him, and I will remain in prostration as long as He wills to leave me in that state. Then it will be said: O Muhammad! Raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted. I will praise Him with words He will teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will be set for me, and Allah will admit them all to Paradise. Then I will return again, and when I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration before Him, and I will remain in prostration as long as He wills to leave me in that state. Then it will be said to me: O Muhammad! Raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head, praise Him as He will teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will be set for me, and He will admit them to Paradise. Then I will return a third time, and when I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration before Him, and I will remain in prostration as long as He wills to leave me in that state. Then it will be said: O Muhammad! Raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, and intercede and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head, praise Him in the way He will teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will be set for me, then Allah will admit them to Paradise. Then I will return a fourth time and say: O my Lord! None remains except those whom the Qur'an has restrained, meaning those who, according to the teachings of the Qur'an, deserve Hell.' Qatadah said that Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'A person will come out of Hell who had said «لا إله إلا الله» , and in whose heart there was goodness equal to a barley grain, and a person will come out who had said «لا إله إلا الله» , and in whose heart there was goodness equal to a wheat grain, and a person will come out who had said «لا إله إلا الله» , and in whose heart there was goodness equal to a speck.' 1.

It was narrated from ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“Three will intercede on the Day of Resurrection: The Prophets, then the scholars, then the martyrs.”

It was narrated from Ubayy bin Ka’b, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“When the Day of Resurrection comes, I will be the leader of the Prophets and the one who addresses them, and the one among them who will agree to intercede, and it is no boast.”

It was narrated from ‘Imran bin Husain that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“Some people will be brought forth from Hell by my intercession, who will be called Al-Jahannamiyyin (those who came out of Hell).”

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Jad’a’ that he heard the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say:`“More than (the members of the tribe of) Banu Tamim will enter Paradise through the intercession of a man from among my nation.”They said:“O Messenger of Allah, besides you?”He said:“Besides me.”

‘Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja’i said:`“The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: ‘Do you know what choice my Lord gave me on this night?’ We said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘He gave me the choice between admitting half of my nation to Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, pray that we will be among its people (the people for whom you will intercede).’ He said: ‘It is for every Muslim.’”
