حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْبَدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الْعَنَزِيُّ، قَالَ: اجْتَمَعَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ، فَأَتَيْنَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَشَفِعْنَا إِلَيْهِ بِثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَأَجْلَسَ ثَابِتًا مَعَهُ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا تَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ، إِخْوَانُكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ جَاءُوا يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنْ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ، فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ: " إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ مَاجَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ، فَيُؤْتَى آدَمُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا آدَمُ، اشْفَعْ لِذُرِّيَّتِكَ، فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ لَهَا، وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ خَلِيلُ اللَّهِ، فَيُؤْتَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ، فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ لَهَا، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمُوسَى؛ فَإِنَّهُ كَلِيمُ اللَّهِ، فَيُؤْتَى مُوسَى صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ، فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ لَهَا، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِعِيسَى؛ فَإِنَّهُ رُوحُ اللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ، فَيُؤْتَى عِيسَى، فَيَقُولُ: لَسْتُ لَهَا، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأُوتَى، فَأَقُولُ: أَنَا لَهَا، فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَأَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَبِّي، فَيُؤَذَّنُ لِي عَلَيْهِ، فَأَقُومُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مَقَامًا، فَيُلْهِمُنِي فِيهِ مَحَامِدَ لَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهَا الْآنَ، فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَحَامِدِ، ثُمَّ أَخِرُّ لَهُ سَاجِدًا، فَيُقَالُ لِي: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ، وَقُلْ يُسْمَعْ لَكَ، وَسَلْ تُعْطَ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ، فَأَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي، فَيُقَالُ لِي: انْطَلِقْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ بُرَّةٍ، أَوْ مِثْقَالُ شَعِيرَةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجْهُ، فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَأَفْعَلُ، ثُمَّ أَعُودُ فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَحَامِدِ، فَأَخِرُّ لَهُ سَاجِدًا، فَيُقَالُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ، وَقُلْ يُسْمَعْ، وَسَلْ تُعْطَ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ، فَأَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي، فَيُقَالُ لِي: انْطَلِقْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ أَوْ مِثْقَالُ خَرْدَلَةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجْهُ مِنْهَا، فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَأَفْعَلُ، ثُمَّ أَرْجِعُ، فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَحَامِدِ، ثُمَّ أَخِرُّ لَهُ سَاجِدًا، فَيُقَالُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ، وَقُلْ يُسْمَعْ لَكَ، وَسَلْ تُعْطَ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ، فَأَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي، فَيُقَالُ لِي: انْطَلِقْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَدْنَى أَدْنَى مِنْ مِثْقَالِ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، مِنَ النَّارِ، مِنَ النَّارِ "، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنَسٍ قُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي: هَلْ لَكُمْ فِي الْحَسَنِ وَهُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍ فِي مَنْزِلِ أَبِي خَلِيفَةَ فِي عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقُلْنَا: جِئْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ أَخِيكَ أَنَسٍ، فَلَمْ نَسْمَعْ مِثْلَ مَا حَدَّثَنَا فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ، قَالَ: كَيْفَ حَدَّثَكُمْ؟ قَالَ: فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ الْحَدِيثَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْنَا، قَالَ: هِيهِ قُلْنَا: لَمْ يَزِدْنَا عَلَى هَذَا ،
Ma'bad bin Hilal al-Anazi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: A group of people from Basrah gathered, and I was among them. Then we came to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and made Thabit al-Bunani (may Allah have mercy on him) our intercessor so that we could get in through him. When we entered, Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) seated Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) with him on the couch. I said to my companions: Do not ask him about anything except this hadith (of intercession). Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "O Abu Hamzah! These brothers of yours have come from Basrah; they want to ask you about the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on intercession." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to us; he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When it is the Day of Resurrection, the people will surge into one another (like waves). Then they will come to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: O Adam! Intercede for your offspring. He will say: I am not for this position; rather, go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), for he is the Khalil (close friend) of Allah. Then they will come to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and he too will say: I am not for this; rather, go to Musa (peace be upon him), for he is the one to whom Allah spoke. So they will come to Musa (peace be upon him), the chosen servant of Allah, and he will say: I am not for this; go to Isa (peace be upon him), for he is the Spirit of Allah and His Word. So they will come to Isa (peace be upon him), and he will say: I am not for this; rather, go to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the people will come to me, and I will say: I am the one for this (intercession). Then I will go and seek permission (to enter) from my Lord, and permission will be granted to me. Then I will stand before Him in a station where Allah will inspire me with such praises of Him as I am not able to make now. Then I will praise Him with those words and fall down in prostration before Him. Then it will be said to me: O Muhammad! Raise your head; speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given; and intercede, and your intercession will be accepted. I will say: 'Ay Rabbi, ummati, ummati' (O my Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah). Then it will be said to me: Go, and whoever has in his heart faith equal to a grain of wheat or a grain of barley, bring him out (of the Fire). So I will go and do so. Then I will come back again and praise my Lord with those same praises and fall down in prostration before Him. Then it will be said: O Muhammad! Raise your head; speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given; and intercede, and your intercession will be accepted. I will say: 'Ay Rabbi, ummati, ummati' (O my Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah). Then it will be said to me: Go, and whoever has in his heart faith equal to a speck or a mustard seed, bring him out of it (the Fire). So I will go and do the same. Then I will return (a third time) and praise Allah with those same words, then fall down in prostration before Him. Then it will be said: O Muhammad! Raise your head; speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given; and intercede, and your intercession will be accepted. I will say again: 'Ay Rabbi, ummati, ummati' (O my Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah). Then it will be said to me: Go, and whoever has in his heart faith less, and less still, than a mustard seed, bring him out of the Fire, out of the Fire, out of the Fire." Ma'bad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When we left Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), I said to my companions: Would you like to go to al-Hasan (al-Basri) (may Allah have mercy on him)? He was at that time hiding in the house of Abu Khalifah among the tribe of Abd al-Qays. So we went to him, came into his presence and said: We have come from your brother Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), and we have never heard anything like the hadith he narrated to us about intercession. He asked: What did he narrate to you? We narrated the hadith to him until, when we reached (the last part), he said: "Go on." We said: He did not tell us more than this.
