Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and a man there was speaking. Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah! Will you permit me to speak?" He said: "Yes!" He thought that he too would speak in the same way as the other man had been speaking. Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'I hope that on the Day of Resurrection I will intercede for as many people as there are trees and stones (or clods of earth) on the earth.'" Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Mu'awiyah! You will have hope of it (intercession); then will Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) not have hope of it?"
Ahmad recorded it. Its narrators have been declared trustworthy, although there is a great deal of weakness in the narrator named Abu Isra'il al-Mula'i.
