It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty raises a servant to a high rank (in Paradise), and he says: 'O my Lord, how did I come to have this rank?' Allah Almighty says: 'Because of your child's seeking forgiveness for you.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Asim except Hammad bin Salamah."
