رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 6565. Narrated Anas (bin Mālik) رضي الله عنه said, "Allāh will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection and they will say, 'Let us request someone to intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Then they will go to Ādam عليه السلام and say, 'You are the one whom Allāh created with His Own Hands, and breathed in you the soul(1) which He created for you) and ordered the angels to prostrate to you; so please intercede for us with our Lord.' Ādam will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and will remember his sin, and will say, 'Go to Nūh (Noah), the first Messenger sent by Allāh.' They will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and will remember his sin and say, 'Go to Ibrāhīm (Abraham) whom Allāh took as a Khalīl(2).' They will go to him (and request similarly). He will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and will remember his sin and say, 'Go to Mūsā (Moses) to whom Allāh spoke directly.' They will go to Mūsā and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and will remember his sin and say, 'Go to 'Īsā (Jesus).' They will go to him, and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, go to Muḥammad (ﷺ) as Allāh has forgiven his past and future sins.' They will come to me and I will ask my Lord's Permission, and when I see Him, I will fall down in prostration to Him, and He will leave me in that state as long as (He) Allāh will, and then I will be addressed 'Raise up your head (O Muḥammad)! Ask, and your request will be granted; and say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.' Then I will raise my head, and I will glorify and praise my Lord with a saying (i.e., invocation) He will teach me, and then I will intercede. Allāh will fix a limit for me (i.e., certain type of people for whom I may intercede), and I will take them out of the (Hell) Fire and let them enter Paradise. Then I will come back (to Allāh) and fall in prostration, and will do the same for the third and fourth times till no one remains in the (Hell) Fire except those whom the Qur'ān has imprisoned therein." (The subnarrator, Qatada used to say at that point, "...those upon whom eternity (in Hell) has been imposed.") [See also Vol. 6, Hadīth No. 4476]

6565 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ، فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوِ اسْتَشْفَعْنَا عَلَى رَبِّنَا حَتَّى يُرِيحَنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا، فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ فَيَقُولُونَ: أَنْتَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ، وَأَمَرَ المَلاَئِكَةَ فَسَجَدُوا لَكَ، فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا عِنْدَ رَبِّنَا. فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ، وَيَذْكُرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ، وَيَقُولُ: ائْتُوا نُوحًا، أَوَّلَ رَسُولٍ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ، فَيَأْتُونَهُ فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ، وَيَذْكُرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ، ائْتُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي اتَّخَذَهُ اللَّهُ خَلِيلًا، فَيَأْتُونَهُ فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ، وَيَذْكُرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ، ائْتُوا مُوسَى الَّذِي كَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ، فَيَأْتُونَهُ فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ، فَيَذْكُرُ خَطِيئَتَهُ، ائْتُوا عِيسَى فَيَأْتُونَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ، ائْتُوا مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ، فَيَأْتُونِي، فَأَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَبِّي، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُهُ وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا، فَيَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لِي: ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ: سَلْ تُعْطَهْ، وَقُلْ يُسْمَعْ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ، فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي، فَأَحْمَدُ رَبِّي بِتَحْمِيدٍ يُعَلِّمُنِي، ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا، ثُمَّ أُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَأُدْخِلُهُمُ الجَنَّةَ، ثُمَّ أَعُودُ فَأَقَعُ سَاجِدًا مِثْلَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ، أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ، حَتَّى مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا مَنْ حَبَسَهُ القُرْآنُ " وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ، يَقُولُ عِنْدَ هَذَا: «أَيْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الخُلُودُ»
