[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will be ahead of you at the al-Hawd (the pool of water in Paradise)."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ»  

“I shall reach the Cistern (Haud) before you, and I will boast of your great numbers before the nations, so do not fight one another after I am gone.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3944)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا إِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ وَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ الْأُمَمَ فَلَا تَقْتَتِلُنَّ بَعْدِي»  

“I shall reach the Cistern (Haud) before you, and I will boast of your great numbers before the nations, so do not fight one another after I am gone.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3944)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا إِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ وَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمْ فَلَا تَقْتَتِلُنَّ بَعْدِي»  

“The distance between the two ends of my Cistern is like the distance between San’a and Al-Madinah,’ or ‘between Al-Madinah and ‘Amman.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4304)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "I am the first among you at the Pond, between 'Ayla and Mecca. There will come to me men and women with vessels and jugs, but they will not taste anything from it."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُونِي فَأَنَا عَلَى الْحَوْضِ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَسَيَأْتِي رِجَالٌ وَنِسَاءٌ بِآنِيَةٍ وَقِرَبٍ ثُمَّ لَا يَذُوقُونَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا»  

[Machine] He heard Uthba bin Abdissalami saying that an Arab stood up to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "What is this Haud (Pond) you speak of?" He said: "It is as between Sana'a and Busra, then Allah will bestow upon me a pitcher, such that I do not know of any human from those that were created, the end of either of its sides." Umar said Takbir and said: The poor emigrants will rush towards him, those who are killed in the cause of Allah, and die in the cause of Allah, and it is my hope that Allah will admit me to drink from it.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيَّ يَقُولُ قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَوْضُكَ الَّذِي تُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ «هُوَ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ إِلَى بُصْرَى ثُمَّ يُمِدُّنِي اللَّهُ فِيهِ بِكُرَاعٍ لَا يَدْرِي بَشَرٌ مِمَّنْ خُلِقَ أَيُّ طَرَفَيْهِ» قَالَ فَكَبَّرَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَمَّا الْحَوْضُ فَيَزْدَحِمُ عَلَيْهِ فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ يُقْتُلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَيَمُوتُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يُورِدَنِيَ اللَّهُ الْكُرَاعَ فَأَشْرَبَ مِنْهُ»  

There would be such a vast distance between the sides of my Cistern as it is between Sana' and Medina. (Using translation from Muslim 2303b)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَصَنْعَاءَ أَوْ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعَمَّانَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "My basin is the journey of a month, its corners are equal, its water is whiter than snow and purer than musk. Its vessels are like the stars of the sky. Whoever drinks from it will never be thirsty again."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حَوْضِي مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ زَوَايَاهُ سَوَاءً مَاؤُهُ أَبْيَضُ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ وَأَطْيَبُ مِنَ الْمِسْكِ آنِيَتُهُ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَا يَظْمَأُ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "There will be a tank (Lake-Fount) in front of you as large as the distance between Jarba and Adhruh (two towns in Sham). (Using translation from Bukhārī 6577)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَمَامَكُمْ حَوْضًا كَمَا بَيْنَ جَرْبَاءَ وَأَذْرُحَ»  

‘One can see in it (the Cistern) jugs of gold and silver, like the number of stars in the sky.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4305)   

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «تُرَى فِيهِ أَبَارِيقُ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ كَعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , said, "I will be at my pond and will keep people away from it. I will hit them with my stick until they are repelled." He was asked about the size of the pond, so he said, "It is as wide as the distance between me and 'Amman, which is about a month's journey or so." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was also asked about its drink, to which he replied, "It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Two streams flow into it, one of them is made of pearls and the other of gold."  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَنَا عِنْدَ عُقْرِ حَوْضِي أَذُودُ عَنْهُ النَّاسَ إِنِّي لَأَضْرِبُهُمْ بِعَصَايَ حَتَّى يَرْفَضَّ» قَالَ وَسُئِلَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ سَعَةِ الْحَوْضِ فَقَالَ «مِثْلُ مَقَامِي هَذَا إِلَى عَمَّانَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا شَهْرٌ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ» وَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ شَرَابِهِ فَقَالَ «أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ يَنْبَعِثُ فِيهِ مِيزَابَانِ مِدَادُهُمَا الْجَنَّةُ أَحَدُهُمَا دُرٌّ وَالْآخَرُ ذَهَبٌ»  

[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, 'I will protect my pond from the people of Yemen. I will strike with my stick until they are pushed away.' He was asked about its width, and he said, 'From my position, it extends to 'Amman.' He was asked about its drink, and he said, 'It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. It has two containers that are flowing from Paradise, one of gold and the other of silver.' "  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَبِعُقْرِ حَوْضِي أَذُودُ عَنْهُ لِأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ أَضْرِبُ بِعَصَايَ حَتَّى يَرْفَضَّ» فَسُئِلَ عَنْ عَرَضِهِ فَقَالَ «مِنْ مَقَامِي هَذَا إِلَى عَمَّانَ» وَسُئِلَ عَنْ شَرَابِهِ فَقَالَ «أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِيهِ مِيزَابَانِ يُمَدَّانِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَالْآخَرُ مِنْ وَرِقٍ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, what is the capacity of your basin?" He said, "It is as vast as the distance between Aden and Amman, and it contains two water troughs made of gold and silver." He then asked, "What is your basin, O Prophet of Allah?" He said, "It is whiter than milk, sweeter in taste than honey, and has a more pleasant fragrance than musk. Whoever drinks from it will never feel thirst again, and their face will never turn dark."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا سَعَةُ حَوْضِكَ؟ قَالَ «كَمَا بَيْنَ عَدْنٍ إِلَى عَمَّانَ وَأَنَّ فِيهِ مَثْعَبَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ» قَالَ فَمَا حَوْضُكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مَذَاقَةً مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَأَطْيَبُ رَائِحَةً مِنَ الْمِسْكِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَدًا وَلَمْ يَسْوَدْ وَجْهُهُ أَبَدًا»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The distance between my pool (in Paradise) and my minbar (pulpit) is like the distance between Ayla and Sana'a, a month's journey in width. It contains two aqueducts flowing with white gold and silver, sweeter than honey and colder than ice. In it, there are as many pitchers as the number of stars in the sky."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ عَرْضُهُ كَطُولِهِ فِيهَا مِزْرَابَانِ يَنْثَعِبَانِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَذَهَبٍ أَبْيَضُ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَأَبْرَدُ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ فِيهِ أَبَارِيقُ عَدَدُ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ»  

My Cistern would be as extensive as the distance between Aila and San'a, of Yemen, and there would be in it jugs like stars in the sky. (Using translation from Muslim 2303a)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ وَإِنَّ فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَبَارِيقِ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every Prophet has a supplication that he made for his nation, and I have saved my supplication as an intercession for my nation on the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ قَدْ دَعَا بِهَا فِي أُمَّتِهِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every prophet has a supplication that he makes, and I have kept my supplication as an intercession for my nation in the hereafter."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ يَدْعُو بِهَا وَإِنِّي أَخَّرْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been granted five things that no one before me was given: I was sent to both red and black people, the spoils of war were made lawful for me but not for anyone before me, I was given victory through fear, so that the enemy becomes terrified even from a month's distance, and the earth has been made a pure place of prayer and a means of purification for me. It was said to me, 'Ask and you shall be given.' And I have kept my intercession for my Ummah (nation) on the Day of Judgment, and it is a privilege that will be granted, Allah willing, to those who do not associate anything with Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي بُعِثْتُ إِلَى الْأَحْمَرِ وَالْأَسْوَدِ وَأُحِلَّتْ لِيَ الْغَنَائِمَ وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ فَيُرْعَبُ الْعَدُوُّ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ شَهْرٍ وَجُعِلَتْ لِيَ الْأَرْضُ طَهُورًا وَمَسْجِدًا وَقِيلَ لِي سَلْ تُعْطَهْ وَاخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي فِي الْقِيَامَةِ وَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ لَمْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ celebrated our wedding one night. Each of us rested our arm on our camels. Suddenly, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw that the Prophet's camel had no one in front of it. I quickly went in search of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found Mu'adh bin Jabal and Abdullah bin Qays standing. I asked them, "Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" They replied, "We do not know, but we heard a voice coming from the top of the valley, sounding like a mill." We waited for a while until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and said, "Verily, someone from my Lord came to me and gave me a choice between letting half of my nation enter paradise or taking the intercession. I chose intercession." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we beseech you in the name of Allah and the companionship you have granted us to be among those who receive your intercession." He said, "You are among those who receive my intercession." When they mounted their camels, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I bear witness that whoever bears witness to the fact that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, then my intercession is guaranteed for him among my nation."  

عَرَّسَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَافْتَرَشَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ذِرَاعَ رَاحِلَتِهِ قَالَ فَانْتَبَهْتُ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ قُدَّامَهَا أَحَدٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَائِمَانِ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَا لَا نَدْرِي غَيْرَ أَنَّا سَمِعْنَا صَوْتًا بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي فَإِذَا مِثْلُ هَدِيرِ الرَّحَى قَالَ فَلَبِثْنَا يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي مِنْ رَبِّي آتٍ فَخَيَّرَنِي بِأَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ وَالصُّحْبَةِ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ قَالَ «فَأَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِي» قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَكِبُوا قَالَ «فَإِنِّي أُشْهَدُ مَنْ حَضَرَ أَنَّ شَفَاعَتِيَ لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي»  

[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."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُجْمَعُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُلْهَمُونَ لِذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوِ اسْتَشْفَعْنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا كَيْ يُرِيحَنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا قَالَ فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ فَيَقُولُونَ أَنْتَ آدَمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ وَأَمَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَسَجَدُوا لَكَ فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ حَتَّى يُرِيحَنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا هَذَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ فَيَذْكُرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ الَّتِي أَصَابَهَا فَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ رَبِّهِ مِنْهَا وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا نُوحًا أَوَّلَ رَسُولٍ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ فَيَأْتُونَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَيُذْكَرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ الَّتِي أَصَابَ فَيَسْتَحْيِي رَبَّهُ مِنْهَا وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي اتَّخَذَهُ اللَّهُ خَلِيلًا قَالَ فَيَأْتُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَيُذْكَرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ الَّتِي أَصَابَ فَيَسْتَحْيِي رَبَّهُ مِنْهَا وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا مُوسَى الَّذِي خَلْقَهُ اللَّهُ وَأَعْطَاهُ التَّوْرَاةَ قَالَ فَيَأْتُونَ مُوسَى فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَيُذْكَرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ فَيَسْتَحْيِي رَبَّهُ مِنْهَا وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا عِيسَى فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ عَبْدٌ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَ فَيَأْتُونِي فَأَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَبِّي فَيَأْذَنُ لِي فَإِذَا أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ وَقَعَتْ سَاجِدًا فَ يَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدَعَنِي ثُمَّ يُقَالُ ارْفَعْ مُحَمَّدُ وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ قَالَ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَأَحْمَدُ رَبِّي بِمَحَامِدَ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَأُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ سَاجِدًا فَيَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدَعَنِي ثُمَّ يُقَالُ ارْفَعْ مُحَمَّدُ وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ اشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي وَأَحْمَدُ رَبِّي بِمَحَامِدَ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَأُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ أَضَعُ رَأْسِي فَيَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدَعَنِيَ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لِيَ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ اشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَأَحْمَدُ رَبِّي بِمَحَامِدَ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَأُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] "I placed a plate of roasted meat and bread in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He took a piece of the meat, which was his favorite, and he chewed it. Then he said, 'I am the leader of people on the Day of Judgment.' He then chewed another piece of meat and said the same thing. He continued to chew another piece and repeated the statement. When his companions saw that they did not ask him anything, he said, 'Do you not ask how? ' They said, 'How, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'The people will rise to the Lord of all the worlds, and the caller will make them hear his call and the vision will penetrate them. The sun will come close to their heads, and its heat will intensify upon them, and its proximity will become difficult for them. They will be overcome with fear and panic from what they are in. They will come to Adam and say, 'O Adam, you are the father of mankind. Allah created you with His own hand and commanded the angels to prostrate to you. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see what we are experiencing from evil?' Adam will say, 'Indeed, my Lord has become angry today with an anger that He never exhibited before, nor will He exhibit after it. He commanded me to do something, and I disobeyed Him. I fear that He will cast me into the fire. Go to someone other than me; go to someone other than me.'"  

وَضَعْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَصْعَةً مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ وَلَحْمٍ فَتَنَاوَلَ الذِّرَاعَ وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الشَّاةِ إِلَيْهِ فَنَهَسَ نَهْسَةً فَقَالَ «أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ نَهَسَ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ «أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ نَهَسَ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ «أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَصْحَابَهُ لَا يَسْأَلُونَهُ قَالَ «أَلَا تَقُولُونَ كَيْفَ؟ » قَالُوا كَيْفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَيُسْمِعُهُمُ الدَّاعِي وَيَنْفُذُهُمُ الْبَصَرُ وَتَدْنُو الشَّمْسُ مِنْ رُءُوسِهِمْ فَيَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ حَرُّهَا وَيَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِمْ دُنُوُّهَا مِنْهُمْ فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ مِنَ الْجَزَعِ وَالضَّجَرِ مِمَّا هُمْ فِيهِ فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ أَبُو الْبَشَرِ خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَمَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَسَجَدُوا لَكَ فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ أَلَا تَرَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ؟ فَيَقُولُ آدَمُ إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ الْيَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَإِنَّهُ كَانَ أَمَرَنِي بِأَمْرٍ فَعَصَيْتُهُ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَطْرَحَنِي فِي النَّارِ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى غَيْرِي نَفْسِي نَفْسِي  

[Machine] He heard him say, "I asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , 'O Messenger of Allah, what did your Lord say in response to you about intercession?' He said, 'By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I thought that you would be the first to ask me about that from my ummah, because of your keenness for knowledge. What concerns me most is their eagerness to enter Paradise, while I fear that they may fall short regarding the gates of Paradise. What is most important to me is the completion of my intercession for them, and my intercession for those who bear witness that there is no god but Allah sincerely, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, with sincerity from both their tongue and heart.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا رَدَّ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ؟ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لِمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ حِرْصِكَ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَمَا يُهِمُّنِي مِنَ انْقِصَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ أَهَمُّ عِنْدِي مِنْ تَمَامِ شَفَاعَتِي لَهُمْ وَشَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصًا وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَدِّقُ لِسَانُهُ قَلْبَهُ وَقَلْبُهُ لِسَانَهُ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: My intercession will be for those of my people who have committed major sins. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4739)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «شَفَاعَتِي لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: My intercession will be for those of my people who have committed major sins. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4739)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «شَفَاعَتِي لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every prophet has a prayer that he has made for his nation, and I have kept my prayer as an intercession for my nation on the Day of Judgment."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ قَدْ دَعَاهَا فِي أُمَّتِهِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got us married one night, and each one of us spread out the arm of his mount, and I paid attention during part of the night, and behold, the Prophet's ﷺ camel had no one in front of it. So I set out to look for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and behold, I found Mu'adh bin Jabal and 'Abdullah bin Qais standing. I said, "Where is the Messenger of Allah?" They said, "We do not know, except that we heard a voice at the top of the valley, like the sound of a millstone. We did not wait except for a short while until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, and he said, 'Indeed, someone came to me tonight from my Lord, and He gave me the choice between half of my nation entering Paradise or intercession, and I chose intercession.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we beseech you by Allah and by your companionship, since you made us from the people of your intercession.' He said, 'Indeed, you are from the people of my intercession.' He said, 'So we turned to the people, and behold, they were startled and had lost their prophet ﷺ .' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, someone came to me tonight and gave me the choice between half of my nation entering Paradise or intercession, and I chose intercession.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we beseech you by Allah, since you made us from the people of your intercession.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, I bear witness, with those present as my witnesses, that my intercession is for those who do not associate anything with Allah from my nation.'"  

عَرَّسَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَافْتَرَشَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ذِرَاعَ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَانْتَبَهْتُ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا نَاقَةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْسَ قُدَّامَهَا أَحَدٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَائِمَانِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَا مَا نَدْرِي غَيْرَ أَنَّا سَمِعْنَا صَوْتًا بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي فَإِذَا مِثْلُ هَدِيرِ الرَّحَى فَلَمْ نَلْبَثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ وَالصُّحْبَةَ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ قَالَ «فَإِنَّكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِي» قَالَ فَأَقْبَلْنَا إِلَى النَّاسِ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَزِعُوا وَفَقَدُوا نَبِيَّهُمْ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ آتٍ فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ «إِنِّي أُشْهِدُ مَنْ حَضَرَ أَنَّ شَفَاعَتِيَ لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise that runs on the surface of the earth. Its banks are made of pearls." He ﷺ said, "I struck it with my hands and found its clay to be musk, and its pebbles to be pearls."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْكَوْثَرُ نَهَرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَجْرِي عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ حَافَّتَاهُ قِبَابُ الدُّرِّ» قَالَ ﷺ «فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي فَإِذَا طِينُهُ مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ وَإِذَا حَصْبَاؤُهُ اللُّؤْلُؤُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I entered Paradise and I found myself by a river with banks made of pearls. I struck the course of water with my hand and it turned into musk. So I said, 'O Jibril, what is this?' He said, 'This is Al-Kawthar that Allah has granted you or that your Lord has granted you.'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَهَرٍ حَافَّتَاهُ مِنَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي مَجْرَى الْمَاءِ فَإِذَا مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ فَقُلْتُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ أَعْطَاكَهُ اللَّهُ أَوْ أَعْطَاكَ رَبُّكَ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I entered paradise and found myself by a river, the whiteness of its water is like milk, sweeter than honey, and its banks are made of tents of pearls. I struck the ground with my hand and found it to be musk-colored. I asked Jibril, 'What is this?' He said, 'This is Al-Kawthar that Allah has given you.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَهَرٍ يَجْرِي بَيَاضُهُ بَيَاضُ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَحَافَّتَاهُ خِيَامُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي فَإِذَا الثَّرَى مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ فَقُلْتُ لِجِبْرِيلَ مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَهُ اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] The following passage translates to: The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , narrated that he said, "While I was walking in paradise, a river with domes made of hollow pearls appeared before me. The angel who was with me said, 'Do you know what this is?' I replied, 'This is Al-Kawthar (a river in paradise) which your Lord has given you.' He then struck the ground with his hand and brought out musk from it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدَّثَ قَالَ «بَيْنَا أَنَا أَسِيرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ عَرَضَ لِي نَهَرٌ حَافَّتَاهُ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمُجَوَّفِ فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي مَعَهُ أَتَدْرِي مَا هَذَا؟ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ رَبُّكَ وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْ طِينِهِ الْمِسْكَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah chose Kinanah from the offspring of Isma'il, and He chose Quraysh from Kinanah, and He chose Banu Hashim from Quraysh, and He chose me from Banu Hashim. So, I am the master of the children of Adam, and not out of pride. I am the first for whom the earth will open up, and I am the first intercessor and the first to be interceded for."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى كِنَانَةَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَاصْطَفَى قُرَيْشًا مِنْ كِنَانَةَ وَاصْطَفَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَأَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ وَأَوَّلُ شَافِعٍ وَأَوَّلُ مُشَفَّعٍ»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Bakr As-Siddiq: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Fajr prayer, then he sat until it was time for Duha. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and then sat until he performed the Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers. Throughout all of this, he did not speak until he performed the last Isha prayer. Then he went to his family and the people said to Abu Bakr, "Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what happened to him today? He did something he had never done before." So Abu Bakr asked him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Yes, there was something presented to me that has not happened before in this world or the Hereafter. The first and the last of mankind will be gathered in one plain until they become constricted. So they will go to Adam, ﷺ , and grief will constrain them. They will say, 'O Adam! You are the father of mankind. Allah chose you as His Prophet and created you with His Hand. Intercede with your Lord for us.' He will say: 'I am not the one for that task. Go to Nuh (Noah). Indeed, Allah chose him over the people of the world.' So they will come to Noah and he will say: 'I am not the one for that task. Go to your father, from your father to Nuh; and indeed Allah chose him as the Prophet of the worlds.' So they will come to Ibrahim (Abraham) and he will say: 'I am not the one for that task. Go to Musa (Moses); and indeed Allah spoke to him directly in Talaq.' So they will come to Musa and he will say: 'I am not the one for that task. Go to 'Isa (Jesus); and indeed Allah cured the hunchback and the leper and brought the dead to life with His leave.' So they will come to 'Isa and he will say: 'I am not the one for that task. Go to the master of the offspring of Adam, for he is the first from whom the earth is cleft open on the Day of Resurrection. Go to Muhammad, so he may intercede for you with your Lord.'"  

عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ قَالَ أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَصَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الضُّحَى ضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَلَسَ مَكَانَهُ حَتَّى صَلَّى الْأُولَى وَالْعَصْرَ وَالْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ سَلْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا شَأْنُهُ؟ صَنَعَ الْيَوْمَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَصْنَعْهُ قَطُّ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ فَجُمِعَ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَالْآخَرُونَ بِصَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ حَتَّى انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَالْعَرَقُ يَكَادُ يُلْجِمُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ أَبُو الْبَشَرِ اصْطَفَاكَ اللَّهُ اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ لَقِيتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي لَقِيتُمْ فَانْطَلِقُوا إِلَى أَبِيكُمْ بَعْدَ أَبِيكُمْ إِلَى نُوحٍ {إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى آدَمَ وَنُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ} فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ إِلَى نُوحٍ فَيَقُولُونَ اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّهُ اصْطَفَاكَ اللَّهُ وَاسْتَجَابَ لَكَ فِي دُعَائِكَ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا فَيَقُولُ لَيْسَ ذَاكُمْ عِنْدِي فَانْطَلِقُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ اتَّخَذَهُ خَلِيلًا فَيَأْتُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَيَقُولُ لَيْسَ ذَاكُمْ عِنْدِي فَانْطَلِقُوا إِلَى مُوسَى فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ كَلَّمَهُ تَكْلِيمًا فَيَقُولُ مُوسَى لَيْسَ ذَاكُمْ عِنْدِي وَلَكِنِ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ فَإِنَّهُ يُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ وَيُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى فَيَقُولُ عِيسَى لَيْسَ ذَاكُمْ عِنْدِي وَلَكِنِ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِ وَلَدِ آدَمَ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فَلْيَشْفَعْ لَكُمْ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Noah will be called on the Day of Resurrection and he will say, 'Labbaik and Saʿdaik, O my Lord!' Allah will say, 'Did you convey the Message?' Noah will say, 'Yes.' His nation will then be asked, 'Did he convey the Message to you?' They will say, 'No Warner came to us.' Then Allah will say (to Noah), 'Who will bear witness in your favor?' He will say, 'Muhammad and his followers. So they (i.e. Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message. And the Apostle (Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allah "Thus We have made of you a just and the best nation that you may be witnesses over mankind and the Apostle (Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves." (2.143) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4487)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُدْعَى نُوحٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ؟ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ لِأُمَّتِهِ هَلْ بَلَّغَكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَتَانَا مِنْ نَذِيرٍ فَيُقَالُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ وَأُمَّتُهُ» قَالَ ﷺ «فَيَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ وَيَكُونُ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا} » وَالْوَسَطُ الْعَدْلُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I am the master of the children of Adam on the Day of Judgment, and I am not boasting. I will be the first person for whom the earth will split open, and I will be the first intercessor and the first to be interceded for, and in my hand will be the flag of praise beneath which Adam will be, and there will be no one below him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ وَأَوَّلُ شَافِعٍ وَمُشَفَّعٍ بِيَدِي لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ تَحْتِي آدَمُ فَمَنْ دُونَهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "People will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment and I will be with my nation on a hill. Then, my Lord will clothe me in a green garment, and I will say what Allah wills me to say. This is the praiseworthy station."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يُبْعَثُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَكُونُ أَنَا وَأُمَّتِي عَلَى تَلٍّ فَيَكْسُونِي رَبِّي حُلَّةً خَضْرَاءَ فَأَقُولُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ أَقُولَ فَذَلِكَ الْمَقَامُ الْمَحْمُودُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, every prophet will have a pulpit of light on the Day of Resurrection, and I will have the longest and brightest of them all. Then a caller will call out, 'Where is the unlettered prophet?' The prophets will all say, 'We are all unlettered prophets. To whom was he sent?' Then the second caller will say, 'Where is the Arab unlettered prophet?' Muhammad will descend until he reaches the gate of Paradise and knock on it. Someone will ask, 'Who is it?' He will reply, 'Muhammad or Ahmad.' Then it will be said, 'Has he been sent to you?' He will say, 'Yes,' and the gate will open for him to enter. The Lord will manifest Himself to him in a way that He has never done to any prophet before him. He will prostrate to Allah, praising Him with praises that no other person before him has ever praised Him with, nor will anyone after him. Then it will be said to him, 'Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be heard. Intercede, for your intercession will be accepted. Ask, and you will be given.' He will say, 'O Lord, my nation, my nation.' Then it will be said to him, 'Take out of the Fire anyone who has an atom's weight of faith in his heart.' Then he will return and again prostrate to Allah, praising Him with praises that no other person before him has ever praised Him with, nor will anyone after him. Then it will be said to him, 'Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be heard. Intercede, for your intercession will be accepted. Ask, and you will be given.' Then it will be said to him, 'Take out of the Fire anyone who has a mustard seed's weight of faith in his heart.' Then he will return and again prostrate to Allah, praising Him with praises that no other person before him has ever praised Him with, nor will anyone after him. Then it will be said to him, 'Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be heard. Intercede, for your intercession will be accepted. Ask, and you will be given.' Then it will be said to him, 'Take out of the Fire anyone who has a particle's weight of faith in his heart.' Then he will return and again prostrate to Allah, praising Him with praises that no other person before him has ever praised Him with, nor will anyone after him. Then it will be said to him, 'Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be heard. Intercede, for your intercession will be accepted. Ask, and you will be given.' Then he will say, 'O Lord, anyone who says, 'There is no god but Allah,' He will be told, 'Muhammad, you are not there. This reward is for Me, and today I will grant it.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْبَرًا مِنْ نُورٍ وَإِنِّي لَعَلَى أَطْوَلِهَا وَأَنْوِرِهَا فَيَجِيءُ مُنَادٍ فَيُنَادِي أَيْنَ النَّبِيُّ الْأُمِّيُّ؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلُّنَا نَبِيٌّ أُمِّيٌّ فَإِلَى أَيِّنَا أُرْسِلَ؟ فَيَرْجِعُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ النَّبِيُّ الْأُمِّيُّ الْعَرَبِيُّ؟ قَالَ فَيَنْزِلُ مُحَمَّدٌ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ بَابَ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقْرَعَهُ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ؟ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ أَوْ أَحْمَدُ فَيُقَالُ أَوَقَدْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ؟ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ فَيَدْخُلُ فَيَتَجَلَّى لَهُ الرَّبُّ وَلَا يَتَجَلَّى لِنَبِيٍّ قَبْلَهُ فَيَخِرُّ لِلَّهِ سَاجِدًا وَيَحْمَدُهُ بِمَحَامِدَ لَمْ يَحْمَدْهُ أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ أَحَدٌ بِهَا مِمَّنْ كَانَ بَعْدَهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ تَكَلَّمْ تُسْمَعْ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَيُقَالُ أَخْرِجْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ شَعِيرَةٍ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَيَخِرُّ لِلَّهِ سَاجِدًا وَيَحْمَدُهُ بِمَحَامِدَ لَمْ يَحْمَدْهُ أَحَدٌ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ بَعْدَهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ تَكَلَّمْ تُسْمَعْ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَخْرِجْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ بُرَّةٍ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَيَخِرُّ لِلَّهِ سَاجِدًا وَيَحْمَدُهُ بِمَحَامِدَ لَمْ يَحْمَدْهُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ بَعْدَهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَخْرِجْ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ خَرْدَلَةٍ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ فَيَخِرُّ سَاجِدًا وَيَحْمَدُهُ بِمَحَامِدَ لَمْ يَحْمَدْهُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ بَعْدَهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ تَكَلَّمْ تُسْمَعْ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ لَسْتَ هُنَاكَ تِلْكَ لِي وَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ أَجْزِي بِهَا»
