Hadith 10713

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَر , عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ , عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ مُغِيثٍ , أَوْ مُعَتِّبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَاذَا رَدَّ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ ؟ قَالَ : لَقَدْ ظَنَنْتُ لَتَكُونَنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَأَلَنِي مِمَّا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ حِرْصِكَ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ ، " شَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصًا , يُصَدِّقُ قَلْبُهُ لِسَانَهُ , وَلِسَانُهُ قَلْبَهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that I once asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about what answer your Lord gave you regarding intercession. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I had this very assumption that among my Ummah, you would be the first to ask me about this matter, because I see your eagerness for knowledge. And my intercession will be for every person who bears witness with a sincere heart that there is no god but Allah, whose heart confirms his tongue and whose tongue confirms his heart.
