ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ الْمَقَامَ الْمَحْمُودَ هُوَ الْمَقَامُ الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ ﷺ فِي أُمَّتِهِ

[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.'"  

ابن حبّان:٦٤٨٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
