2441. Abū Al-Maliḥ narrated from 'Awf bin Mālik Al-Ashja'i who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Someone came to me from my Lord to give me the choice between half of my Ummah being admitted into Paradise or intercession. So I chose the intercession, and it is for whoever dies and he did not associate anything with Allāh.” (Hasan) It has been reported from Abū Al-Maliḥ, from another man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and he did not mention: “From ‘Awf bin Mālik.” [And the Hadīth contains a lengthy narration]. [(Another chain) with a similar narration in meaning].

٢٤٤١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ ‌عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّي، فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ نِصْفَ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ،» فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ، وَهِيَ لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ.
