[490] 337 - (...) ‘Amr bin Abî Sufyân bin Aseed bin Jâriyah Ath-Thaqafî narrated that Abû Hurairah said to Ka'b Al-Ahâbâr, that the Prophet of Allâh ﷺ said: "Every Prophet has a supplication (that will be answered), and I want, if Allâh wills, to defer my supplication so that I may intercede for my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection." Ka'b said to Abû Hurairah: "Did you hear that from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ?" Abû Hurairah said: "Yes."

337 - (198) وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَسِيدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الثَّقَفِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لِكَعْبِ الْأَحْبَارِ: إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ يَدْعُوهَا، فَأَنَا أُرِيدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ، لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: «نَعَمْ»
