حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقِّيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ , عَنْ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ , كُنْتُ إِمَامَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَخَطِيبَهُمْ , وَصَاحِبَ شَفَاعَتِهِمْ غَيْرَ فَخْرٍ " .
´It was narrated from Ubayy bin Ka’b, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “When the Day of Resurrection comes, I will be the leader of the Prophets and the one who addresses them, and the one among them who will agree to intercede, and it is no boast.”
