[Machine] I heard Awf ibn Malik Al-Ashja'i say: "We stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a place for the night. I woke up during the night, and found that there was something longer than the back of my saddle that had stuck to the ground, due to every person and his camel being stuck to the ground. So I walked through the people until I came to the sleeping place of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , but he was not there. I placed my hand on his bed and found that it was cold. I went through the people and said, 'Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.' The news of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spread until I left the whole camp and saw a darkness. I threw a stone and moved towards the darkness. Then I saw Mu'adh ibn Jabal and Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah in front of me, and there was a sound between us like the clapping of sandals or the sound of pebbles when they are hit by the wind. Some of us said to others, 'O people, remain steady until the morning comes or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ comes to you.' So we remained as long as Allah willed, then he called out, 'Did Mu'adh ibn Jabal, Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah, and Awf ibn Malik come?' So we said, 'Yes.' He came towards us and we came out to him. We did not ask him anything, nor did he inform us anything, until he sat on his bed and said, 'Do you know what my Lord has chosen for me tonight?' We said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Indeed, He has chosen to give me a choice between having half of my Ummah enter Paradise or intercession, and I have chosen intercession.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to make us among its people.' He said, 'It is for every Muslim.'"  

سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ يَقُولُ نَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلًا فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا لَا أَرَى شَيْئًا أَطْوَلَ مِنْ مُؤْخِرَةِ رَحْلِي قَدْ لَصَقَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ وَبَعِيرُهُ بِالْأَرْضِ فَقُمْتُ أَتَخَلَّلُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى وَقَعْتُ إِلَى مَضْجَعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بَارِدٌ فَخَرَجْتُ أَتَخَلَّلُ النَّاسَ وَأَقُولُ {إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ} [البقرة 156] ذُهِبَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْعَسْكَرِ كُلِّهِ فَنَظَرْتُ سَوَادًا فَرَمَيْتُ بِحَجَرٍ فَمَضَيْتُ إِلَى السَّوَادِ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَإِذَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا صَوْتٌ كَدَوِيِّ الرَّحَا أَوْ كَصَوْتِ الْهَضْبَاءِ حِينَ يُصِيبُهَا الرِّيحُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ يَا قَوْمِ اثْبُتُوا حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا أَوْ يَأْتِيَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَبِثْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ نَادَى «أَثَمَّ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَعَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ؟» فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَخَرَجْنَا لَا نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَلَا يُخْبِرُنَا حَتَّى قَعَدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَقَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا خَيَّرَنِي بِهِ رَبِّي اللَّيْلَةَ؟» فَقُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ نِصْفَ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ «هِيَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ»  

[Machine] "I heard 'Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'i saying, 'We stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a place so when I woke up at night, I couldn't see anything taller than the back of my saddle in the camp. It seemed like every person and their camel had stuck to the ground. I got up and started moving through the people until I reached the place where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was supposed to be sleeping, but he wasn't there. I put my hand on the bed and found it cold. I went out among the people saying, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had gone beyond our sight. I left the entire camp and saw a darkness, so I threw a stone and headed towards it. I found Mu'adh ibn Jabal and Abu Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah there, and there was a sound in front of us like the clattering of pebbles or the sound of a thicket when the wind blows through it. Some of us said to others, 'O people, stay here until morning or until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ comes to you.' We stayed for as long as Allah willed, and then he called out, 'Has Mu'adh ibn Jabal, Abu Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah, and 'Awf ibn Malik arrived?' We replied, 'Yes.' So he came to us, and we walked with him without asking him anything or informing him of anything. He sat on his bed and asked, 'Do you know what my Lord has given me as a choice tonight?' We replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Indeed, He has given me the choice between admitting half of my Ummah to Paradise and intercession, so I chose intercession.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make us among its people.' He said, 'It is for every Muslim.'"
