'Alee ibn Zaid Abee Nudrah said, "Ibn 'Abbas r.a gave us a sermon from the pulpit of Al-Basrah. He r.a. said: The Messenger of Allah s.a.w. said, 'Indeed every single Prophet had a supplication that Allah answered in the world, and I have saved my supplication, making it be intercession for my nation. And I am the chief of the children of Adam on the Day of Resurrection, and no Fakhr (pride and haughtiness); I am the first for whom the earth will split open, and no Fakhr; in my hand is the banner of Al-Hamd (praise), and no Fakhr; Adam along with all those under him are underneath my banner, and no Fakhr.
The Day of Resurrection will be made prolonged for the people. Some will say to others, 'Go with us to Adam, the father of mankind, so that he will intercede for us to our Lord- that He judge between us.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'O Adam, you are the one who Allah created with His Hand; He made your abode to be His Paradise and He made the angels perform prostration to you. Intercede for us to your Lord, so that He judges between us.' He will say, 'I am not the one for you: I was removed from Paradise because of my sin, and all that matters to me today is my own soul. But go to Ibraheem Al-Khaleel.'
They will go to him and say, 'O Ibraheem, intercede for us to our Lord, so that He judges between us.' He will say, 'I am not the one for you. I lied three lies for the sake of Islam, 'and by Allah, he only used them to defend Allah's religion. They are, 1) his saying: "Verily, I am sick (with plague. He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to pagan's feast).", 2) his sayng: "Nay,this one, the biggest of them (idols) did it", and 3) his saying to his wife when he went to the king, 'My sister.' (Ibraheem a.s. will then say to those who go to him), 'And today, nothing concerns me except my own self. But go to Moosa, for Allah chose him with His Message and with His Speech.'
Then they go to Moosa, and they will say, 'Intercede for us to your Lord, that He judges between us.' He will say, 'I am not the one for you, for I killed someone, but not out of retribution for the killing of another person. And nothing concerns me today except for my own self. But go to 'Eesa, a spirit (Rooh) created by Allah and His Word ("Be!"- and He was).'
So they go to 'Eesa and say, 'Intercede for us to our Lord, that He judges between us.' He will say, I am not the one for you. I was taken as a god besides Allah, and nothing concerns me (at this time) except my own self. But suppose that possessions were in a container that was sealed- could one get to what is on the inside without breaking the seal? They will say, 'No'. He will say, 'Indeed, Muhammad is the seal of the Prophets, and he is present today. And his previous and later sins were forgiven for him.'"
The Messenger of Allah s.a.w said, "Then they will come to me and say, 'O Muhammad, intercede for us to your Lord, that He judges whomsoever He wishes and is pleased with. When Allah wills to separate between His creation, a caller will call out, 'Where is Ahmad and his nation?' We are the last ones and the first ones- the last nations will make way for us, and we will go forward, Ghurr (whiteness in the forehead; faces of the believers will shine on the Day of Resurrection), Muhajjaloon (the places they wash in their Wudoo, ablution, will shine)from the effects of the Wudoo (ablution).
And it will be said, 'It almost seems as if all of the members of this nation are Prophets.'And I will go to the Door of Paradise. Then I will take the ring of the door and knock on the door. It will be said, 'Who are you?' Them I will say, 'I am Muhammad.' It will be opened, and I will see my Lord 'Azza Wa-Jall (To Him belongs Might and Majesty) and He is on His Kursee (Footstool) or on His Bed (the uncertainty here is from the narrator, Hammaad). I will fall down, prostrating to Him. And I will praised Him with and none after me will praise Him with. Then it will be said,'O Muhammad, raise your head and ask, you will be given; speak, you will be heard; and intercede, your intercession will be granted.'
Then I will raise my head and say,'O my Lord, my nation, my nation.' He s.w.t will say, 'Take out he who has (Eemaan)in his heart equal to the weight of such and such (Hammaad did not memorize the amount).' Then I will return and perform prostration. Then I will say as I said before, and He will say, 'Raise your head and speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; and intercede, your intercession will be granted.' I will say, 'O my Lord, my nation, my nation.' He will say, 'Take out he who has (Eemaan)in his heart equal to the weight of such and such,' an amount that was less than the amount of the first time. Then I will return and I will perform prostration and I will say as I said before. It will be said to me, 'Raise your head and speak, you will be heard, and intercede, your intercession will be granted.' I will say, 'My Lord, my nation, my nation.' He will say, 'Take out he who has (Eemaan) in his heart equal to the weight of such and such,' an amount that is less than the amount of the previous time."
