باب اخْتِبَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعْوَةَ الشَّفَاعَةِ لأُمَّتِهِ:Chapter: The Prophet (saws) will defer his supplication in order to intercede for his ummah
وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ قَدْ دَعَا بِهَا فِي أُمَّتِهِ ، وَخَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Abu Zubair heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reporting it from the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) : For every apostle was a prayer with which he prayed (to his Lord) for his Ummah, but I have reserved my prayer for the intercession of my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ On the Day of Resurrection, the intercession (shafa‘ah) of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) will be of various kinds, for example: intercession for entry into Paradise, intercession for being taken out of Hellfire, intercession for the elevation of ranks of some believers, and so on.
➋ The intercession that will be for those who committed major sins (kabirah) will be for their removal from Hellfire. As for major shirk (shirk akbar) and that disbelief (kufr) which expels one from Islam, there will be no intercession for those who commit such disbelief and shirk, even if they consider themselves Muslims. Similarly, hypocrites in creed (‘itiqadi munafiq) will also be deprived of intercession.
