[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am the first among them to come out, and I am their leader when they gather. I am their orator when they listen, and I am their intercessor when they are imprisoned. I am their bearer of good news when they feel despair. On that day, the honors and keys will be in my hands. I am the noblest of the children of Adam in the sight of my Lord. Around me, there are a thousand servants, as if they were hidden pearls or scattered pearls."  

الدارمي:٤٩حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا أَوَّلُهُمْ خُرُوجًا وَأَنَا قَائِدُهُمْ إِذَا وَفَدُوا وَأَنَا خَطِيبُهُمْ إِذَا أَنْصَتُوا وَأَنَا مُسْتَشْفِعُهُمْ إِذَا حُبِسُوا وَأَنَا مُبَشِّرُهُمْ إِذَا أَيِسُوا الْكَرَامَةُ وَالْمَفَاتِيحُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِيَدِي وَأَنَا أَكْرَمُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ عَلَى رَبِّي يَطُوفُ عَلَيَّ أَلْفُ خَادِمٍ كَأَنَّهُمْ بَيْضٌ مَكْنُونٌ أَوْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَنْثُورٌ»
