The Prophet ﷺ said, "On the Day of Resurrection the Believers will assemble and say, 'Let us ask somebody to intercede for us with our Lord.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are the father of all the people, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things; so please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession for you).' Then Adam will remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof. He will say, 'Go to Noah, for he was the first Apostle, Allah sent to the inhabitants of the earth.' They will go to him and Noah will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.' He will remember his appeal to his Lord to do what he had no knowledge of, then he will feel ashamed thereof and will say, 'Go to the Khalil--r-Rahman (i.e. Abraham).' They will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. Go to Moses, the slave to whom Allah spoke (directly) and gave him the Torah .' So they will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.' and he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer, and so he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord, and he will say, 'Go to Jesus, Allah's Slave, His Apostle and Allah's Word and a Spirit coming from Him. Jesus will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, go to Muhammad the Slave of Allah whose past and future sins were forgiven by Allah.' So they will come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my Lord's Permission and I will be given permission. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in Prostration and He will let me remain in that state as long as He wishes and then I will be addressed.' (Muhammad!) Raise your head. Ask, and your request will be granted; say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and praise Allah with a saying (i.e. invocation) He will teach me, and then I will intercede. He will fix a limit for me (to intercede for) whom I will admit into Paradise. Then I will come back again to Allah, and when I see my Lord, the same thing will happen to me. And then I will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me to intercede whom I will let into Paradise, then I will come back for the third time; and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say, 'None remains in Hell but those whom the Qur'an has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have been destined to an eternal stay in Hell.' " (The compiler) Abu ʿAbdullah said: 'But those whom the Qur'an has imprisoned in Hell,' refers to the Statement of Allah: "They will dwell therein forever." (16.29)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah would gather people on the Day of Resurrection and they would be concerned about it, and Ibn Ubaid said. They would get a Divine inspiration about it, and would say: If we could seek intercession with our Lord, we may be relieved from this predicament of ours. He (the Holy Prophet) said: They would come to Adam andsay, Thou art Adam, the father of mankind. Allah created thee with His own hand and breathed unto thee of His Spirit and commanded the angels and they prostrated before thee. So intercede for us with thy Lords, that He may relieve us from this position of ours. He would say: I am not in a position to do this, and would recall his error, and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that; go to Noah the first messenger (after me) sent by Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So they would come to Noah (peace be upon him). He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and recall his fault which he had committed, and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that, (and would say): You better go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) whom Allah took for a friend. They would come to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and he would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and would recall his fault that he had committed and would, therefore, fight shy of his Lord on that account (and would say): You better go to Moses (peace be upon him) with whom Allah conversed and con- ferred Torah upon him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So they would come to Moses (peace be upon him) He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and would recall his fault that he had committed and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that (and would say): You better go to Jesus, the Spirit of Allah and His word He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you; you better go to Muhammad ﷺ, a servant whose former and later sins have been forgiven. He (the narrator) said: The Messenger or Allah ﷺ observed: So they would come to me and I would ask the permission of my Lord and it would be granted to me, and when I would see Him, I would fall down in prostration, and He (Allah) would leave me thus as long as He would wish, and then it would be said: O Muhammad, raise your head, say and you would be heard; ask and it would be granted; intercede and intercession would be accepted. Then I would raise my head and extrol my Lord with the praise which my Lord would teach me. I shall then inter- cede, but a limit would be set for me I would bring them out from the Fire and make them enter Paradise (according to the limit). I shall return then ard fall down in pros- tration and Allah would leave me (in that position) as long as He would wish to leave me it would be said: Rise, O Muhammad, say and you would be heard; ask and it would be conferred; intercede and intercession would be granted. I would raise my head and extrol my Lord with praise that He would teach me. I would theft intercede and a limit would be set for me. I would bring them out of the Fire (of Hell) and make them enter Paradise. He (the narrator) said: I do not remember whether he (the Holy Prophet) said at tLe third time or at the fourth time: O my Lord, none has been left in the Fire, but thise restrained by the Holy Qur'an, i e. those who were eternally doomed. Ibn Ubaid said in a narration: Qatada observed: whose everlasting stay was imperative".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "People will be gathered on the Day of Judgment, feeling distressed about it. They will say, 'If only we could intercede with our Lord to relieve us from our place.' They will come to Adam and say, 'You are Adam, whom Allah created with His own hands and breathed into you His soul, and He commanded the angels to prostrate before you. Intercede for us with your Lord to relieve us from our place.' He will say, 'I am not of help to you in this matter,' and he will mention his sin that he committed and feel embarrassed before his Lord because of it. But he will say, 'Go to Noah, the first Messenger that Allah sent.' So they will go to him and say, 'You are Noah, the first Messenger that Allah sent to the people of the Earth. Intercede for us with your Lord to relieve us from our place.' He will say, 'I am not of help to you in this matter,' and he will mention his sin that he committed and feel embarrassed before his Lord because of it. But he will say, 'Go to Ibrahim, whom Allah made His friend.' So they will go to him and say, 'You are Ibrahim, whom Allah took as a friend. Intercede for us with your Lord to relieve us from our place.' He will say, 'I am not of help to you in this matter,' and he will mention his sin that he committed and feel embarrassed before his Lord because of it. But he will say, 'Go to Musa, whom Allah created and gave the Torah.' So they will go to him and say, 'You are Musa, whom Allah created and gave the Torah. Intercede for us with your Lord to relieve us from our place.' He will say, 'I am not of help to you in this matter,' and he will mention his sin that he committed and feel embarrassed before his Lord because of it. But he will say, 'Go to 'Isa, the servant of Allah and His Messenger.' So they will go to him and say, 'You are 'Isa, the servant of Allah and His Messenger. Intercede for us with your Lord to relieve us from our place.' He will say, 'I am not of help to you in this matter,' and he will mention his sin that he committed and feel embarrassed before his Lord because of it. But he will say, 'Go to Muhammad, a servant whom Allah has forgiven for all his past and future sins.' So they will come to me and I will seek permission from my Lord, and it will be granted to me. When I see Him, I will fall in prostration, and He will let me stay in that position as long as He wishes. Then it will be said to me, 'Raise your head, O Muhammad, and speak; you will be heard, and ask; you will be given, and intercede; your intercession will be accepted.' So I will raise my head and praise my Lord with praises that He will teach me. Then I will intercede, and a limit will be set for me, and the people will be taken out of the Fire and admitted into Paradise."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection in the same way (as they are gathered in this life), and they will say, 'Let us ask someone to intercede for us with our Lord that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Then they will go to Adam and say, 'O Adam! Don't you see the people (people's condition)? Allah created you with His Own Hands and ordered His angels to prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all the things. Please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking' and mention to them the mistakes he had committed, and add, "But you d better go to Noah as he was the first Apostle sent by Allah to the people of the Earth.' They will go to Noah who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and mention the mistake which he made, and add, 'But you'd better go to Abraham, Khalil Ar-Rahman.' They will go to Abraham who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, 'But you'd better go to Moses, a slave whom Allah gave the Torah and to whom He spoke directly' They will go to Moses who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, 'You'd better go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His Apostle and His Word (Be: And it was) and a soul created by Him.' They will go to Jesus who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, but you'd better go to Muhammad whose sins of the past and the future had been forgiven (by Allah).' So they will come to me and I will ask the permission of my Lord, and I will be permitted (to present myself) before Him. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in (prostration) before Him and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then it will be said to me, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then raise my head and praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come back again, and when I see my Lord (again), I will fall down in prostration before Him, and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to whom I will admit into Paradise, I will return again, and when I see my Lord, I will fall down (in prostration) and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come back and say, 'O my Lord! None remains in Hell (Fire) but those whom Qur'an has imprisoned therein and for whom eternity in Hell (Fire) has become inevitable.' " The Prophet ﷺ added, "There will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: ' La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a wheat grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant).

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَجْمَعُ اللهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوِ اسْتَشْفَعْنَا عَلَى رَبِّنَا حَتَّى يُرِيحَنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا هَذَا فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ حَتَّى يَأْتُوا آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ أَبُو النَّاسِ خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ وَعَلَّمَكَ أَسْمَاءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ حَتَّى يُرِيحَنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا هَذَا فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَيَذْكُرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ الَّتِي أَصَابَ مِنْ أَكَلِ الشَّجَرَةِ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا نُوحًا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ رَسُولٍ بَعَثَهُ اللهُ فَيَأْتُونَ نُوحًا فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَيَذْكُرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ الَّتِي أَصَابَ مِنْ سُؤَالِهِ رَبَّهُ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ بِهِ عِلْمٌ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ خَلِيلُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَيَأْتُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَيَذْكُرُ كَذِبَاتِهِ الثَّلَاثَ قَوْلَهُ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ وَقَوْلَهُ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا وَقَوْلَهُ لِسَارَةَ حِينَ أَتَى عَلَى الْجَبَّارِ أَخْبِرِي أَنِّي أَخُوكِ فَإِنِّي سَأُخْبِرُ أَنَا أَنَّكِ أُخْتِي فَإِنَّا أَخَوَانِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ لَيْسَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ غَيْرُنَا وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ الَّذِي كَلَّمَهُ اللهُ وَأَعْطَاهُ التَّوْرَاةَ [232] فَيَأْتُونَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَيَذْكُرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ الَّتِي أَصَابَ مِنْ قَتْلِ الرَّجُلِ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَبْدَ اللهِ وَرَسُولَهُ مِنْ كَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَرُوحِهِ فَيَأْتُونَ عِيسَى فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ عَبْدًا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَأْتُونِي فَأَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَبِّي فَيُؤْذَنُ لِي عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ رَبِّي وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا فَيَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَدَعَنِي ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِي ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ تُسْمَعْ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي وَأَحْمَدُ رَبِّي بِحَمْدِ يُعَلُّمُنِيهِ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَأُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ إِلَى رَبِّي الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَخِرُّ سَاجِدًا فَيَقُولُ لِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَأُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ إِلَى رَبِّي الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَخِرُّ لَهُ سَاجِدًا فَيَقُولُ لِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَيَجْعَلُ لِي حَدًّا فَأُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا مَنْ حَبَسَهُ الْقُرْآنُ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْخُلُودُ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَهُوَ الْمَقَامُ الْمَحْمُودُ
