Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33838 — What Allah the Exalted gave Muhammad

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection the believers will gather and say: If we were to seek intercession with our Lord (and this will be inspired in them), Allah would give us relief from this place. So they will come to Adam (peace be upon him) and say to him: O Adam, you are the father of mankind. Allah created you with His hand, breathed His spirit into you and taught you the names of all things. Intercede for us with our Lord, that He may give us relief from this place. He will say: This is not my station; and he will mention his complaint to them or state the error he committed, and he will feel shy of his Lord. But go to Nuh (peace be upon him), for he is the first messenger sent to the people of the earth. So they will go to Nuh (peace be upon him), but he will say: This is not my station; and he will mention his request to his Lord about what he had no knowledge of, and he will feel shy of his Lord. But go to Ibrahim, the intimate friend of Allah. They will go to him, and he will say: This is not my station. Go to Musa (peace be upon him), to whom Allah spoke and to whom He gave the Torah. They will go to him, but he will say: This is not my station; and he will mention to them his killing of a soul without it being in return for a soul, and he will feel shy of his Lord because of that. But go to the servant of Allah, His Messenger, His Word and the Spirit of Allah. They will come to Isa (peace be upon him), and he will say: I am not for this task, and this is not my station. But go to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), whose past and future sins Allah has forgiven. So they will come to me. Al-Hasan said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then I will walk between two rows of the believers. "The statement of al-Hasan ended." Then I will ask permission of my Lord, and permission will be given to me. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration, and Allah Almighty will leave me in that state for as long as He wills. Then it will be said, or He will say: Raise your head. Speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head and praise Allah with a praise that Allah will teach me. Then I will intercede, and Allah will set a limit for me, and I will admit that many people into Paradise. Then I will return a second time. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration, and Allah will leave me in that state for as long as He wills. Then He will say as He said the first time: Speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head and praise with a praise that Allah will teach me. Then I will intercede, and Allah will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise. Then I will return a third time. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration, and Allah will leave me in that state for as long as He wills. Then it will be said: Ask, and you will be given; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head and praise with a praise that Allah will teach me. Then I will intercede, and Allah will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise. Then I will return to Allah a fourth time and say: O my Lord, no one remains except those whom the Qur'an has held back.
