عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي حَدِيثِ الشَّفَاعَةِ قَالَ وَيَطُولُ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ انْطَلِقُوا بِنَا إِلَى أَبِي الْبَشَرِ فَلْيَشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلْيَقْضِ بَيْنَنَا فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَيَقُولُ يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَسْكَنَكَ جَنَّتَهُ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا فَلْيَقْضِ بَيْنَنَا فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ إِنِّي قَدْ أُخْرِجْتُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ بِخَطِيئَتِي وَإِنَّهُ لَا يُهِمُّنِي الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا نَفْسِي)) الحديث
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), this is the lengthy hadith regarding intercession, in which it is mentioned: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, when the time will become prolonged for the people, they will say to one another: Come, let us go to the father of mankind, so that he may intercede for us before Allah Almighty and He may begin our reckoning. So they will come to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: O Adam! You are the one whom Allah Almighty created with His own hand, settled you in Paradise, and made the angels prostrate to you. So intercede for us before Allah Almighty, so that He may begin our reckoning. He will reply: I am not worthy of this intercession; because of my mistake, I was expelled from Paradise. Today, my own soul has made me restless.
