[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , married us one night, so each of us spread out the arm of his mount as a bed. I then went to some camels and found that the camel of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , had no one in front of it. So I set off to find the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Then I encountered Mu'adh ibn Jabal and Abdullah ibn Qais standing. I said, "Where is the Messenger of Allah?" They replied, "We do not know, except that we heard a sound from the highest part of the valley, and it sounded like the rustling of the reins." He said, "Wait here for a while." Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came to us and said, "Indeed, someone came to me tonight from my Lord, and He gave me the choice between having half of my nation enter Paradise or having intercession, so I chose intercession." We said, "We ask you by Allah and by your companions to make us from the people of your intercession." He said, "Indeed, you are from the people of my intercession." He then turned his mule towards the people, and they were frightened and had lost their Prophet. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Someone came to me tonight from my Lord and gave me the choice between having half of my nation enter Paradise or having intercession, and I chose intercession." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we ask you by Allah and by your companions to make us from the people of your intercession." He said, "When they become numerous, they will press me, so I bear witness to you that my intercession is for those who do not associate anything with Allah from my nation."

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married us one night, and each of us laid his wife's arm as a pillow. I noticed in the middle of the night that there was no one in front of the Messenger of Allah's camel ﷺ , so I set off to look for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I found Mu'adh bin Jabal and Abdullah bin Qais standing, so I asked them, 'Where is the Messenger of Allah?' They replied, 'We do not know, except that we heard a voice from the top of the valley. It sounded like the sound of a grinding mill.' We waited for a while, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and said, 'Verily, someone came to me from my Lord and gave me the choice between having half of my Ummah enter Paradise, and the position of intercession. I chose intercession.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we ask you by Allah and by your companionship, why you chose us as people of your intercession?' He said, 'Because you are people of my intercession.' When they mounted their camels, he said, 'Verily, I bear witness before those who are present that my intercession is for those among my Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah.'"

[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.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married us one night, and each one of us spread out his mount and lay down. During the night, I woke up and saw a she-camel belonging to the Prophet, with no one in front of her. So, I set off to look for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I found Mu'adh bin Jabal and Abdullah bin Qais standing, so I said, 'Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' They said, 'We do not know, but we heard a sound coming from the top of the valley, like the sound of a grinding mill. Not much time passed until the Prophet ﷺ arrived and said, 'Verily, someone came to me from my Lord, offering me a choice between having half of my Ummah enter Paradise or intercession, so I chose intercession.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we beg you by Allah and your friendship to make us among those who will intercede.' He said, 'You are among those who will intercede.' So, we set off together, racing to the people. And behold, the people were startled and had lost their Prophet. He said, 'Someone came to me from my Lord, offering me a choice between having half of my Ummah enter Paradise or intercession, so I chose intercession.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we beg you by Allah and your friendship to make us among those who will intercede.' When they became persistent, he said, 'I bear witness that my intercession is for those among my Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah.'  

عَرَّسَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَافْتَرَشَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا ذِرَاعَ رَاحِلَتِهِ وانْتَبَهْتُ بَعْضَ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا نَاقَةٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ لَيْسَ قُدَّامَهَا أَحَدٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَائِمَانِ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَا مَا نَدْرِي غَيْرَ أَنَّا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتًا بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي قَالَ مِثْلَ هَزِيرِ الرَّحَى فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى أَتَانَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نُنَاشِدُكَ اللهَ وَالصُّحْبَةَ لَمَّا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّفَاعَةِ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِي فَانْطَلَقْنَا مَعًا نَسْتَبِقُ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ قَدْ فَزِعُوا وَفَقَدُوا نَبِيَّهُمْ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَالشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ نَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ وَالصُّحْبَةَ لَمَّا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ فَلَمَّا أَضَبُّوا قَالَ «أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنَّ شَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during a journey, and we stopped for the night. I got up to look for the Prophet ﷺ , but I couldn't find him. Instead, I found Mu'adh ibn Jabal and Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, so I asked, "Where is the Messenger of Allah?" They replied, "We don't know." While we were in this situation, we heard a sound coming from the top of the valley, like the sound of a grinding mill. Soon after, the Prophet ﷺ came, and we said, "O Messenger of Allah, we lost you tonight." He said, "I was visited by a caller from my Lord who gave me the choice between having half of my Ummah enter Paradise and having the power of intercession. So I chose intercession." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make us among the people of your intercession." He said, "O Allah, make them among the people of intercession." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, my intercession will be for those who die without associating anything with Allah."  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلْنَا لَيْلَةً فَقُمْتُ أَطْلُبُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَوَجَدْتُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ وَأَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ فَقَالَا مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ قُلْتُ أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَا مَا نَدْرِي فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ سَمِعْنَا فِي أَعْلَى الْوَادِي هَزِيرًا كَهَزِيرِ الرَّحَى فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَدْنَاكَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَالَ «أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّتِي شَطْرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا الْقَوْمَ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُمْ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ شَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا»  

"عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: عَرَّسَ بِنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَتَوَسَّدَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنَّا ذِرَاعَ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَانْتَبَهْتُ في بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا أَنَا لَا أَدْرِى: رَسُول الله ﷺ عِنْدَ رَاحِلَتِهِ؟ ، فَأَفْزَعَنِى ذَلِكَ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَلْتَمِسُ رسُولَ الله ﷺ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَأَبِى مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِىِّ، وإِذَا هُمَا قَدْ أَفْزَعَهُمَا مَا أَفْزَعَنِى، فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا سَمِعْنَا هَزِيْزًا بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِى كَهَزِيزِ الرَّحَى، فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ بِمَا كَانَ مِنْ أمْرِنَا، فَقَالَ نَبِىُّ الله ﷺ أَتَانِى اللَّيْلَةَ آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّى - ﷻ - فَخَيَّرنِى بَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِى الْجَنَّةَ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعةَ، فَقُلْتُ: أَنْشُدُكَ الله يَا نَبِىَّ الله والصُّحْبَةَ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ قَالَ: فَإِنَّكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِى، فَانْطَلَقْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى النَّاسِ فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ فَزِعُوا حِينَ فَقَدُوا نَبِىَّ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ نَبِىُّ الله ﷺ أَتَانِى آتٍ مِنْ رَبَّى فَخَيَّرَنَى بْينَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِى الْجَنَّةَ، فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ فَقَالُوا: نَنْشُدُكَ الله وَالصُّحْبَةَ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ، فَلَمَّا أَضْمُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ نَبِىُّ الله ﷺ فَإِنِّى أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ شَفَاعَتِى لِمَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِى لَا يُشْرِكُ بِالله شَيْئًا".
