2310. ‘Aishah narrated: “When this Āyah was revealed: And warn your near kindred...[1] the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘O Safiyyah bint ‘Abdul-Muṭṭalib! O Fātimah bint Muhammad! O Bānu ‘Abdul-Muṭṭalib! I have no authority on your behalf over Allāh for anything. Ask me for whatever you want of my wealth.’” (Ṣaḥīh)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbās, and Abū Mūsā. [He said:] The Hadīth of 'Aīshah is a Ḥasan [Gharīb] Hadīth. [This is how some of them reported it, from Hishām bin 'Urwah, similarly.] Some of them reported the same from Hishām bin 'Urwah from his father from the Prophet ﷺ.

Commentary
The Hadīth tells us in no uncertain terms that we cannot depend on the good deeds of our parents or kinsfolk. Success in the Hereafter is linked to our own faith and right actions. Intercession shall only come on the basis of virtuous deeds.
