"أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابى في الدُّنْيا وَالآخِرِة. إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعالَى أَيْقَظَنِى فقال: يا مُحَمَّدُ! إِنِّى لَمْ أَبْعَثْ نَبيًا ولا رسُولًا إِلا وقد سَأَلَنِى مَسْأَلَةً أَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ، فَسَلْ يا مُحَمَّدُ تُعْطَهْ. فَقُلْتُ: مَسْأَلَتِى شَفَاعَةٌ لأُمَّتِى يَوْمَ القيَامَةِ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْر: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وما

الشَّفَاعَةُ؟ قال: أَقُولُ: يا رب شَفَاعَتِى الَّتِى اخْتَبَأَتْ عِنْدَك، فيقول الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى: نَعَمْ فَيُخْرجُ رَبِّى ﷻ بَقِيَّةَ أُمَّتِى مِنَ النَّار فَيَنْبِذَهُم في الجنَّةِ" .

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ lost his companions one night, and when they descended, they made him descend in their midst. They became frightened and thought that Allah had chosen other companions for him. Suddenly, they saw the Prophet's vision and they praised him when they saw him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we feared that Allah had chosen other companions for you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No, you are my companions in this world and the Hereafter. Allah awakened me." Then he said, "O Muhammad, I have not sent a prophet or a messenger except that he asked me for something and I granted it to him. So ask, O Muhammad, and you will be granted." I said, "My request is intercession for my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection." Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is intercession?" He said, "I will say, 'O Lord, my intercession for my Ummah that I have concealed with You.' Then the Exalted and Glorious will say, 'Yes,' and He will bring forth the remaining part of my Ummah from the Fire and throw them into Paradise."
