The Prophet ﷺ will ask the Lord for forgiveness for his Ummah after they have turned away from his Sunnah
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon and said: “O people, you will be gathered to Allah barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised.” Then he recited: “Just as We began the first creation, We shall repeat it—a promise binding upon Us; indeed, We will do it. (Anbiya 103)” to the end of the verse.
Then he said: “Indeed, the first of creation to be clothed on the Day of Resurrection will be Abraham. Indeed, there will be brought men from my community, and they will be taken to the left side. I will say, ‘My Lord, my companions!’ Then it will be said, ‘You do not know what they introduced after you.’ So I will say as the righteous servant said: 'And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them; but when You took me, You were the Watcher over them'. Then it will be said: ‘These people have not ceased turning back on their heels (apostatizing) since you left them.’”
خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّكُمْ مَحْشُورُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلاً»، ثُمَّ قَالَ «{ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُعِيدُهُ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ }» إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ،
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلاَ وَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ الْخَلاَئِقِ يُكْسَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَلاَ وَإِنَّهُ يُجَاءُ بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيُؤْخَذُ بِهِمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ، فَأَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ أُصَيْحَابِي، فَيُقَالُ: إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ، فَأَقُولُ: كَمَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ { وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ }، فَيُقَالُ: إِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ لَمْ يَزَالُوا مُرْتَدِّينَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ مُنْذُ فَارَقْتَهُمْ».
