4317. 'Awf bin Mâlik Al-Ashja'i said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Do you know what choice my Lord gave me this night?' We said: 'Allâh and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'He gave me the choice between admitting half of my nation to Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, pray that we will be among its people (the people for whom you will intercede).' He said: 'It is for every Muslim.'" (Sahih)
4317 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا خَيَّرَنِي رَبِّيَ اللَّيْلَةَ؟» قُلْنَا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّهُ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ، وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ، فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» ، قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، قَالَ: «هِيَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ» بَابُ صِفَةِ النَّارِ

Any person who dies on Islam deserves the intercession. Committing sins with the belief relying on intercession is not wisdom, because due to some sins, the faith of the person might be taken away from him. For more details see Hadith: 4311
