4312. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Messenger of Allâh 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 Âdam and will say: 'You are Âdam, the father of mankind. Allâh 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 Allâh 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 how he asked of Allâh that of which he had no knowledge.[1] He will feel too shy to do that (and will say): 'Rather go to the Close Friend of the Most Merciful, Ibrâhim.' So they will go to him and he will say: 'I am not the one. Rather go to Musa, a slave to whom Allâh 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 'Īsā, the slave of Allāh and His Messenger, the Word of Allāh 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 Allāh 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 Hadīth 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 Allāh 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 Allāh 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 Allâh 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'ân.'"[1] He (the narrator Sa'eed) said: Qatâdah said, following this Hadith: Anas bin Mâlik told us that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Everyone who says Lâ ilâha illallâh and has in his heart goodness as much as a grain of barley will be brought forth from Hell. Everyone who says Lâ ilâha illallâh and has in his heart goodness as much as a grain of wheat will be brought forth from Hell. Everyone who says Lâ ilâha illallâh and has goodness as much as a small ant will be brought forth from Hell." (Sahih)
