It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“The believers will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection, inspired or
worried.” – Sa’eed was not sure – “And they will say: ‘If we seek someone to
intercede for us with our Lord, we may find relief from our situation.’ So they
will go to Adam and will say: ‘You are Adam, the father of mankind. Allah
created you with His Hand and His angels prostrated to you. Intercede for us
with your Lord, that He might grant us relief from our situation.’ He will say:
‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention to them and complain of the sin that he
committed. He will feel too shy to do that (and will say): ‘Rather go to Nuh,
for he is the first Messenger whom Allah sent to the people of earth.’ So they
will go to him, but he will say: ‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention of how
he asked of Allah that of which he had no knowledge.* He will feel too shy to do
that (and will say): ‘Rather go to the Close Friend of the Most Merciful,
Ibrahim.’ So they will go to him and he will say: ‘I am not the one. Rather go
to Musa, a slave to whom Allah spoke and to whom He gave the Torah.’ So they
will go to him and he will say: ‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention how he
killed a soul, not in retaliation for murder (and will say): ‘Rather go to ‘Isa,
the slave of Allah and His Messenger, the Word of Allah and a spirit created by
Him.’ So they will go to him, but he will say: ‘I am not the one. Rather go to
Muhammad, a slave whose past and future sins Allah forgave.’ So they will come
to me and I will go with them.” – There was a similar report from Hasan who
added (the Prophet (ﷺ) said:) And I will walk between two rows of the
believers.” Then he went back to the Hadith of Anas. – And he said: “And I will
ask my Lord for permission and permission will be given to me. When I see Him I
will fall down prostrating, and I will be left as long as Allah wills to leave
me. Then it will be said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad. Speak, you will be heard; ask,
you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted.’ I will praise
Him with praise that He will teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will
be set. Then they will be admitted to Paradise, and I will come back a second
time. When I see Him I will fall down prostrating, and I will be left as long as
Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad. Speak, you
will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be
accepted.’ I will praise Him with praise that He will teach me, then I will
intercede, and a limit will be set. Then they will be admitted to Paradise, and
I will come back a third time. When I see Him I will fall down prostrating, and
I will be left as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said: ‘Get
up, O Muhammad. Speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede,
your intercession will be accepted.’ I will praise Him with praise that He will
teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will be set. Then they will be
admitted to Paradise, and I will come back a fourth time and will say: ‘O Lord,
there is no one left except those who are detained by the Qur’an.’” **
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا
سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى
الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " يَجْتَمِعُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

إِلَى رَبِّنَا فَأَرَاحَنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ فَيَقُولُونَ
أَنْتَ آدَمُ أَبُو النَّاسِ خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ

فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ - وَيَذْكُرُ وَيَشْكُو إِلَيْهِمْ ذَنْبَهُ الَّذِي
أَصَابَ فَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ - وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا نُوحًا فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ
رَسُولٍ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ فَيَأْتُونَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ

لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ . قَالَ فَيَأْتُونِي
فَأَنْطَلِقُ - قَالَ فَذَكَرَ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ . قَالَ فَأَمْشِي
بَيْنَ السِّمَاطَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ . قَالَ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ

ارْفَعْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ
فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتَحْمِيدٍ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا
