حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ الذِّمَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي نِمْرَانُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ الذِّمَارِيُّ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ ، وَنَحْنُ أَيْتَامٌ فَقَالَتْ : أَبْشِرُوا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءَ يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يُشَفَّعُ الشَّهِيدُ فِي سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : صَوَابُهُ رَبَاحُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ .
Narrated Abud Darda: The Prophet ﷺ said: The intercession of a martyr will be accepted for seventy members of his family. Abu Dawud said: The correct name if the narrator is Rabah bin al-Walid (and not al-walid bin Rabah as occurred in the chain of narrators in the text of the tradition)
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This narration is authentic according to Shaykh al-Albani.
In order to be deserving of this intercession, it is extremely necessary to possess the creed of Tawheed (monotheism) and the Sunnah.
Because there is absolutely no forgiveness for a polytheist (mushrik).
And Paradise is forbidden for him.
The statement of Allah, the Exalted, is:
﴿إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ﴾ (an-Nisa: 48) — Verily, Allah does not forgive that partners should be associated with Him, but He forgives whatever is less than that for whomsoever He wills.
And in another place He said:
﴿اِنَّهُ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّـهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ﴾ (al-Ma'idah: 72) — Verily, whoever associates partners with Allah, then indeed Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and his abode is the Fire.
