Taliq bin Habib says that I was among the most vehement deniers of intercession until one day I met Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). I recited to him all those verses in which Allah Almighty has mentioned the eternal stay of the people of Hell in Hell. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Taliq, what do you think, do you recite the Qur'an more than me? There are those who recite the Qur'an more than me, and you yourself know the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) more than me." He said, "All the verses you have recited pertain to the polytheists. However, those people from whom sins have been committed will be taken out of Hell after punishment. May these two ears become deaf if I did not hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that they will be taken out of Hell, even though the verses you recite, we also used to recite them."
