1141. It was narrated that ‘Aṭa’ bin Yazīd said: “I was sitting with Abū Hurairah and Abū Sa’eed. One of them narrated the Hadīth about intercession and the other was listening. He said: ‘Then the angels will come and intercede, and the messengers will intercede.’ And he mentioned the Sīrāt, and said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘I will be the first one to cross it, and when Allāh has finished passing judgment among His creation, and has brought forth from the Fire those whom He wants to bring forth, Allāh will command the angels and the messengers to intercede, and they will be recognized by their signs, for the Fire will consume all of the son of Ādam apart from the place of prostration. Then the water of life will be poured on them, and they will grow like seeds on the banks of a rainwater stream.” (Sahih)
