Hadith 4317
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.’”
