ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ قَوْلِهِ ﷺ «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.'"
