English Translation
Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan al-Shaybani narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn 'Ubayd ibn Hisab, al-Fudayl ibn al-Husayn al-Jahdari, and Abd al-Wahid ibn Ghiyath narrated to us, they said: Abu 'Awanah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'People will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection and will be inspired to do this, so they will say: If we seek intercession with our Lord to relieve us from our place. They will come to Adam and say: You are Adam whom Allah created with His Hand, breathed into you from His Spirit, and commanded the angels to prostrate to you. Intercede for us with your Lord so He may relieve us from this place of ours. He will say: I am not up to that - and he will mention his sin that he committed and will be ashamed before his Lord because of it - but go to Noah, the first Messenger Allah sent. They will come to him and he will say: I am not up to that - and he will mention his sin that he committed and will be ashamed before his Lord because of it - but go to Abraham whom Allah took as a friend. They will come to Abraham and he will say: I am not up to that - and he will mention his sin that he committed and will be ashamed before his Lord because of it - but go to Moses whom Allah spoke to and gave the Torah. They will come to Moses and he will say: I am not up to that - and he will mention his sin and will be ashamed before his Lord because of it - but go to Jesus. He will say: I am not up to that, but go to Muhammad ﷺ, a servant whose past and future sins Allah has forgiven. They will come to me, and I will seek permission from my Lord and He will grant me permission. When I see Him, I will fall prostrate, and He will leave me as long as Allah wills. Then it will be said: Raise your head, Muhammad, and speak and you will be heard, and ask and you will be given, and intercede and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head and praise my Lord with praises He teaches me, then I will intercede. A limit will be set for me, and I will bring them out of the Fire and admit them to Paradise. Then I will return prostrate, and He will leave me as long as Allah wills. Then it will be said: Raise your head, Muhammad, and speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head and praise my Lord with praises He teaches me, then I will intercede. A limit will be set for me, and I will bring them out of the Fire and admit them to Paradise. Then I will lower my head, and He will leave me as long as Allah wills. Then it will be said to me: Raise your head, and speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head and praise my Lord with praises He teaches me, then I will intercede. A limit will be set for me, and I will bring them out of the Fire and admit them to Paradise.'
