4307. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Every Prophet had a prayer that was answered, and every Prophet offered this prayer in this world. But I am saving my prayer so that I can intercede for my nation, and it reaches every one of them who dies not associating anything with Allāh.” (Sahih)
4307 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ، فَتَعَجَّلَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَتَهُ، وَإِنِّي اخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي، فَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ، لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا»

Allāh informed every Prophet that a supplication of his will surely be responded to. The same promise is also made to our Prophet ﷺ. Every Prophet at some time, during his lifetime, asked Allāh to fulfill his certain request, as his supplication which is certainly responded to. So, his supplication is responded to and his request is fulfilled in his lifetime. The Prophet ﷺ will use this supplication as his intercession for the forgiveness of his nation. This supplication will be made on the Day of Judgment, and it will certainly be accepted. Dying while having faith in monotheism is compulsory to attain salvation.
