4311. It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I was given the choice between intercession and half of my nation being admitted to Paradise, and I chose intercession, because it is more general and more sufficient. Do you think it is for the pious? No, it is for the impure sinners." (Hasan)
4311 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ، وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ، فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ، لِأَنَّهَا أَعَمُّ وَأَكْفَى، أَتُرَوْنَهَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ؟ لَا، وَلَكِنَّهَا لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ، الْخَطَّائِينَ الْمُتَلَوِّثِينَ»

The Prophet ﷺ was really the well-wisher of his nation. Therefore, it is obligatory on the people of his nation to love him, to follow his orders, to take him as an ideal and to invoke blessings upon him. In addition, they have to love and respect his Companions too.
