[480] 327 - (194) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "One day some meat was brought to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and the foreleg, which he used to like, was offered to him. He took a bite, then he said: 'I will be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know why that is? On the Day of Resurrection Allâh will gather together the first and the last on one plain, so that they can all hear the caller and they can all be seen. Then the sun will be brought close. The people will suffer unbearable distress and anguish, and they will say to one another: 'Don't you see the state you are in? Don't you see what has happened to you? Why don't you look for someone who will intercede for you?' -
meaning with your Lord. The people will say to one another: 'Go to Âdam.' So they will go to Âdam - الطَّاعِ - and will say: 'O Âdam, you are the father of mankind, Allâh created you with His Own Hand, and breathed into you the soul that He had created for you, and commanded the Angels to prostrate to you. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' Âdam will say: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before, and will never be angry again. He forbade me the tree, but I disobeyed Him. Myself! Myself! Go to someone else, go to Nûh.' So they will go to Nûh - الطَّاعِ - and will say: 'O Nûh, you are the first of the Messengers (of Allâh) who were sent to the earth, and Allâh called you a thankful slave. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' He will say: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before, and will never be angry again. I was granted a supplication and I prayed against my people. Myself! Myself! Go to Ibrâhîm [الطَّاعِ]. So they will go to Ibrâhîm, and will say: 'You are the Prophet of Allâh and His close
friend (Khalīl) from among the people of earth. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' Ibrāhīm will say to them: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before, and will never be angry again' - and he will mention his lies - 'Myself! Myself! Go to someone else, go to Mūsā.' So they will go to Mūsā ﷺ and will say: 'O Mūsā, you are the Messenger of Allāh, Allāh favored you over all people with His Messages and by speaking to you. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' Mūsā ﷺ will say to them: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before and will never be angry again. I killed a soul whom I was not commanded to kill. Myself! Myself! Go to 'Eisā.' So they will go to 'Eisā and will say: 'O 'Eisā, you are the Messenger of Allāh; you spoke to the people from the cradle and you are a Word from Him that He bestowed upon Mariam and a spirit created by Him. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' 'Eisā ﷺ will say to them: 'My Lord is angry today
in a way in which He has never been angry before and will never be angry again,' but he will not mention any sin, 'Myself! Myself! Go to someone else. Go to Muḥammad ﷺ.' So they will come to me and will say: 'O Muḥammad, you are the Messenger of Allāh and the Last of the Prophets, Allāh forgave your past and future sins. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' So I will go and stand beneath the Throne, where I will fall down prostrating to my Lord. Then Allāh will inspire me with words of praise which He has never granted to anyone before me. Then He will say: 'O Muḥammad, raise your head. Ask, it will be given to you; seek intercession, and it will be granted to you.' I will raise my head and say: 'O Lord, my Ummah! My Ummah!' It will be said: 'O Muḥammad, let those of you Ummah who have no account to render enter Paradise through the right-hand gate of Paradise.' They will share all other gates with the people apart from that gate. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muḥammad! The distance between the sides of two gates of Paradise is like the distance between Makkah and Buṣra."

أتى رسول الله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا بِلَحْمٍ. فَرُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ الذِّرَاعُ وَكَانَتْ تُعْجِبُهُ. فَنَهَسَ مِنْهَا نَهْسَةً فَقَالَ "أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ. وَهَلْ تدرون بما ذَاكَ؟ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الأَوَّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ. فَيُسْمِعُهُمُ الدَّاعِي وَيَنْفُذُهُمُ الْبَصَرُ. وَتَدْنُو الشَّمْسُ فَيَبْلُغُ النَّاسَ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَالْكَرْبِ مالا يطيقون. ومالا يَحْتَمِلُونَ. فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لِبَعْضٍ: أَلَا تَرَوْنَ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ؟ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ مَا قَدْ بَلَغَكُمْ؟ أَلَا تَنْظُرُونَ مَنْ يَشْفَعُ لَكُمْ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لِبَعْضٍ: ائْتُوا آدَمَ. فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ. فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا آدَمُ! أَنْتَ أَبُو الْبَشَرِ. خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ وَأَمَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَسَجَدُوا لَكَ. اشْفَعْ لَنَا في رَبِّكَ. أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى
مَا قَدْ بَلَغَنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ آدَمُ: إِنَّ رَبِّي غَضِبَ الْيَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ. وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ. وَإِنَّهُ نَهَانِي عَنِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَعَصَيْتُهُ. نَفْسِي. نَفْسِي. اذهبوا إلى غيري. اذْهَبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِي. اذْهَبُوا إِلَى نُوحٍ. فَيَأْتُونَ نُوحًا فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا نُوحُ! أَنْتَ أَوَّلُ الرُّسُلِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ. وَسَمَّاكَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا. اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ. أَلَا تَرَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ أَلَا تَرَى مَا قَدْ بَلَغَنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ الْيَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ. وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ لِي دَعْوَةٌ دَعَوْتُ بِهَا عَلَى قَوْمِي. نَفْسِي. نَفْسِي. اذْهَبُوا إِلَى إبراهيم صلى الله عليه وسلم. فَيَأْتُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَيَقُولُونَ: أَنْتَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَخَلِيلُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ. اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ. أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى مَا قَدْ بَلَغَنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ الْيَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَلَا يَغْضَبُ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ. وَذَكَرَ كَذَبَاتِهِ. نَفْسِي. نَفْسِي. اذْهَبُوا إِلَى غيري، اذهبوا إلى موسى. فيأتون موسى صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا مُوسَى أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ. فَضَّلَكَ اللَّهُ، بِرِسَالَاتِهِ وَبِتَكْلِيمِهِ، عَلَى النَّاسِ. اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ. أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ أَلَا تَرَى مَا قَدْ بَلَغَنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ لهم موسى صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ الْيَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ. وَإِنِّي قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا لَمْ أُومَرْ بِقَتْلِهَا. نَفْسِي. نفسي. اذهبوا إلى عيسى صلى الله عليه وسلم. فَيَأْتُونَ عِيسَى فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا عِيسَى! أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَكَلَّمْتَ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ، وَكَلِمَةٌ مِنْهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ، وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ. فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ. أَلَا تَرَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ أَلَا تَرَى مَا قَدْ بَلَغَنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ عيسى صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ الْيَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ. وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ لَهُ ذَنْبًا. نَفْسِي. نَفْسِي. اذْهَبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِي. اذْهَبُوا إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَيَأْتُونِّي فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ. وَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ. اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ. أَلَا تَرَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ أَلَا تَرَى مَا قَدْ بَلَغَنَا؟ فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَآتِي تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ فَأَقَعُ سَاجِدًا لِرَبِّي. ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ وَيُلْهِمُنِي مِنْ مَحَامِدِهِ وَحُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْتَحْهُ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي. ثُمَّ يُقَالُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ. سَلْ تُعْطَهْ. اشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ. فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَأَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ! أُمَّتِي. أُمَّتِي. فَيُقَالُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! أَدْخِلِ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ، مَنْ لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِ، من الباب
الأيمن من أبواب الجنة. وهو شُرَكَاءُ النَّاسِ فِيمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الأَبْوَابِ. وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ! إِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ لَكَمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وهجر. أو كما بين مكة وبصرى".
