It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he set out on a journey of jihad with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At night, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) camped. Once, I woke up at night and did not find the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his sleeping place. Various fears and doubts began to arise in my mind. I went out in search of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and met Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), who was in the same state as I was. Meanwhile, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appeared coming from the front. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) You are in a war zone; we fear for your life. When you had some need, why did you not take someone with you?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I heard a sound like that produced by a millstone or like the buzzing of bees. A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the choice between two things: that half of my Ummah would enter Paradise, or that I would be granted the right of intercession. So I preferred the aspect of intercession." Both said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Pray to Allah that He includes us in your intercession." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for them. Later, when these two informed other noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) about this, they too began to come to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Pray to Allah that He includes us in your intercession." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray for them. When this became too frequent, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Every person who dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah will be included in my intercession."
