وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَسِيدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الثَّقَفِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ لِكَعْبِ الأَحْبَارِ : إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ يَدْعُوهَا ، فَأَنَا أُرِيدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " ، فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : نَعَمْ .
Amr bin Abu Sufyan (RA) reported: Abu Hurairah (RA) said to Ka'b al-Ahbar that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) had said: For every apostle there Is a (special) prayer by which he would pray (to his Lord). I, however, intend (if Allah so willed) that I would reserve my prayer for the intercession of my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection. Ka'b said to Abu Hurairah (RA) : Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ? Abu Hurairah (RA) said: Yes.
