Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 15227 — We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عِنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَعَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَنَزَلْنَا لَيْلَةً فَقُمْتُ أَطْلُبُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَوَجَدْتُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ وَأَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ فَقَالَا: مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَا: مَا نَدْرِي فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ سَمِعْنَا فِي أَعْلَى الْوَادِي هَزِيرًا كَهَزِيرِ الرَّحَى، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَدْنَاكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، فَقَالَ: «أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّتِي شَطْرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا الْقَوْمَ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُمْ» فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ شَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا»
Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. One night we halted, and I got up to look for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I did not find him (peace and blessings be upon him), but I found Mu'adh bin Jabal and Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with them both). They asked: What do you need? I said: Where is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? They said: We did not know. While we were in that state, we heard from the upper part of the valley a sound like that of a millstone. A little while later the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, and we said: O Messenger of Allah, we could not find you tonight. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One came to me from my Lord and gave me the choice between my Ummah being half of the people of Paradise, or being granted intercession, and I chose intercession." We said: O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make us among the people of intercession. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, make us among them." Then we went to the people and told them, and they said: O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make us among the people of your intercession. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, make them among them too." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My intercession is for the one who dies without associating anything with Allah."
