´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Jad’a’ that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say:` “More than (the members of the tribe of) Banu Tamim will enter Paradise through the intercession of a man from among my nation.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, besides you?” He said: “Besides me.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The higher the rank of the believing intercessor, the more people he will be permitted to intercede for. It may reach the extent that, through the intercession of a single person, more individuals than the number of an entire tribe will be granted forgiveness.
➋ Banu Tamim is the tribe of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu. This member of the Ummah, by whose intercession so many people will be saved from Hell, may possibly be Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu himself. And Allah knows best.
