Lu'lu' wal-Marjan

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When the Day of Resurrection will come, people will appear like a surging sea. Then they will come to Adam (peace be upon him) and say to him, "Intercede for us with your Lord." He will say, "I am not worthy of this. Go to Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him, he is the Friend of Allah." The people will go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and he will also say, "I am not worthy of this. Yes, go to Musa (Moses), peace be upon him, he is the one to whom Allah spoke directly." The people will go to Musa (peace be upon him), and he too will say, "I am not worthy of this. However, go to Isa (Jesus), peace be upon him, for he is the Spirit of Allah and His Word." So the people will go to Isa (peace be upon him), and he will also say, "I am not worthy of this. Yes, go to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)." The people will come to me, and I will say, "I am for intercession." Then I will seek permission from my Lord, and I will be granted permission, and Allah the Exalted will inspire me with words of praise by which I will praise Allah, words which I do not remember now. So when I will recite these praises and fall in prostration before Allah, it will be said to me, "O Muhammad, raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted." (Upon hearing this) I will say, "O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah." It will be said, "Go and bring out all those from whom you find in their hearts faith equal to a grain of barley." So I will go and do so. Then I will return and once again praise Allah the Lord of Glory with the same praises, and I will fall in prostration before Allah. It will be said to me, "O Muhammad, raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted." Then I will say, "O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah." It will be said, "Go and bring out from the Fire those in whose hearts you find faith equal to a particle or a mustard seed." So I will go and do so. Then I will return and again praise Allah with the same praises, and I will fall in prostration before Allah. I will be told, "Raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted." I will say, "O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah." Allah the Exalted will say, "Go and bring out from the Fire those in whose hearts you find even less than a mustard seed of faith." I will go and bring them out. Then I will return a fourth time and praise Allah with the same praises, and I will fall in prostration before Allah the Exalted. Allah the Exalted will say, "O Muhammad, raise your head, speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted." I will say, "O Lord, grant me permission regarding those who have said 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah)." Allah the Exalted will say, "By My Honor, My Majesty, My Greatness, and My Supremacy, I will bring out from it (the Fire) those who have said the statement 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah)."
