(18). 3148. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I am the chief of the children of Ādam on the Day of Judgement and I am not
boasting, and in my hand is the banner of praise and I am not boasting, and there has been no Prophet since Ādam or other than him, except that he is under my banner. And I am the first for whom the earth will split open, and I am not boasting."
He said: "The people will be frightened by three frights. So they will come to Ādam saying: 'You are our father Ādam, so intercede for us with your Lord.' So he says: 'I committed a sin for which I was expelled to the earth, so go to Nūh.' So they will come to Nūh and he will say: 'I supplicated against the people of the earth, so they were destroyed. So go to Ibrāhīm.' So they will go to Ibrāhīm, and he says: 'I lied three times.'" Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "He did not lie except defending Allāh's religion." "So go to Mūsā." So they will come to Mūsā, and he will say: 'I took a life. So go to 'Eisā.' So they go to 'Eisā and he says: 'I was worshipped besides Allāh. So go to Muḥammad ﷺ.'" He said: "So they will come to me, and I will go with them."
(One of the narrators) Ibn Ju'dān said: "Anas said: 'It is as if I am looking at the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he is saying: "So I will take hold of a ring of a gate of Paradise to rattle it, and it will be said: 'Who is there?' It will be said: 'Muḥammad.' They will open it for me, and welcome me saying, 'Welcome.' I will fall prostrate and
Allāh will inspire me with statements of gratitude and praise and it will be said to me: 'Raise your head, ask and you shall be given, intercede, and your intercession shall be accepted, speak, and your saying shall be heard.' And that is Al-Maqām Al-Maḥmūd about which Allāh said: It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqāman-Maḥmūd."[1]
Sufyān said: "None of it is from Anas except this sentence: 'I will take hold of a ring of a gate of Paradise to rattle it.'" (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan [Sahīh]. Some of them reported this Ḥadīth in its entirety from Abū Naṣrah from Ibn 'Abbās.

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ told us some of his exclusive qualities and distinct advantages on the Day of Judgement, just for the sake of delight and gratitude that Allāh ﷻ bestowed on him out of His mercy and grace; he was not talking about these virtues with pride and boastfulness, it was in fact to transmit the information in order that the people would know about his special qualities.
