Shahr bin Hawshab narrated: Some preachers stood up and, during their sermons, spoke ill of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Last of all, a man from the Ansar stood up whose name was Sayyiduna Unays (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: By Allah! I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "On the Day of Resurrection I will intercede for more people than there are trees and stones on the earth." (Then Sayyiduna Unays (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) By Allah! No one maintains the ties of kinship more than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So will other people have hope of intercession while the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do not receive that intercession?
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know.
