حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ , يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ , يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَتَدْرُونَ مَا خَيَّرَنِي رَبِّيَ اللَّيْلَةَ ؟ " , قُلْنَا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ , قَالَ : " فَإِنَّهُ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ , فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ " , قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا , قَالَ : " هِيَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ " .
´‘Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja’i said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Do you know what choice my Lord gave me on this night?’ We said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘He gave me the choice between admitting half of my nation to Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, pray that we will be among its people (the people for whom you will intercede).’ He said: ‘It is for every Muslim.’”

Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Intercession is for every person who dies upon Islam.
➋ To keep committing sins in the hope of intercession is not wisdom, because there are some sins whose consequence can be that the blessing of faith (iman) may even be taken away.
➌ For further benefits, refer to Hadith number: 4311.
