Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the household of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a maidservant who served them, called "Barrah". A man met her and said: "O Barrah! Cover your few locks of hair, for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) will not be able to avail you anything at all against Allah." She told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) came out dragging his cloak, with his cheeks red; and we, the people of the Ansar, used to recognise his (peace and blessings be upon him) anger by the dragging of his cloak and the redness of his cheeks. So we took up arms, came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Command us with whatever you wish. By the One who sent you with the truth! Even if you were to command us concerning our mothers, fathers and children, we would carry out your order regarding them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit, praised Allah and extolled Him, and said: "Who am I?" We said: "You are the Messenger of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, but (tell me) who am I?" We said: "You are Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abd al-Muttalib bin Hashim bin Abd Manaf." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am the leader of the children of Adam, and there is no boasting in it; the earth of my grave will be split open first, and there is no boasting in it; the dust will be shaken off my head first, and there is no boasting in it; and I will be the first to enter Paradise, and there is no boasting in it. What is the matter with people who think that my kinship brings no benefit? It is not at all as they think. I will intercede and my intercession will be accepted, until the one for whom I intercede will also intercede and his intercession will also be accepted, so much so that even Iblis will crane his neck in hope of intercession."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil, from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), except al-Qasim bin Abdullah; Ubayd bin Ishaq is alone in narrating it."
