7410. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Allāh will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection in the same way (as they are gathered in this life), and they will say, ‘Let us ask someone to intercede for us with our Lord that He may relieve us from this place of ours.’ Then they will go to Ādam and say, ‘O Ādam! Don’t you see the people (i.e., their condition)? Allāh created you with His Own Hands and ordered His angels to prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all the things. Please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.’ Ādam will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking’ and he will mention to them the mistakes he had committed, and add, ‘But you’d better go to Nūh (Noah) as he was the first Messenger sent by Allāh to the people of the earth.’ They will go to Nūh (Noah) who will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’ and he will mention the mistake which he made, and add, ‘But you’d better go to Ibrāhīm (Abraham), Khalīl(1) Ar-Rahmān.’ They will go to (Prophet) Ibrāhīm who will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’ and he will mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, 'But you'd better go to (Prophet) Mūsā (Moses), a slave (of Allāh) whom Allāh gave the Taurāt (Torah) and to whom He spoke directly.' They will go to (Prophet) Mūsā who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and he will mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, 'You'd better go to (Prophet) 'Īsā (Jesus), Allāh's slave and His Messenger and His Word ("Be!" and he was) and a soul(1) created by Him.' They will go to Prophet 'Īsā who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, but you'd better go to (Prophet) Muḥammad (ﷺ) whose sins of the past and the future had been forgiven (by Allāh).' So they will come to me and I will ask the permission of my Lord (Allāh نعالى), and I will be permitted (to present myself) before Him. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in (prostration) before Him and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then it will be said to me, 'O Muḥammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then raise my head and praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allāh will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit, whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come back again, and when I see my Lord (again), I will fall down in prostration before Him, and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muḥammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allāh will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit, to whom I will admit into Paradise, I will return again, and when I see my Lord, I will fall down (in prostration) and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muḥammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allāh will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit, to whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come back and say, 'O my Lord! None remains in Hell (Fire) but those whom the Qur'ān has imprisoned therein; and for whom eternity in Hell (Fire) has become inevitable.' The Prophet ﷺ added, "There will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'Lā ilāha illallāh' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'Lā ilaha illallāh'(1) and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a wheat grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'Lā ilāha illallāh',(1) and has in his heart good equal to the weight of an atom (a smallest ant)."
