Hadith 22771

حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ ، عَنْ رَوْحِ بْنِ زِنْبَاعٍ ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، قَالَ : فَقَدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً أَصْحَابُهُ ، وَكَانُوا إِذَا نَزَلُوا أَنْزَلُوهُ أَوْسَطَهُمْ ، فَفَزِعُوا وَظَنُّوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى اخْتَارَ لَهُ أَصْحَابًا غَيْرَهُمْ ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بِخَيَالِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَكَبَّرُوا حِينَ رَأَوْهُ ، وَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَشْفَقْنَا أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى اخْتَارَ لَكَ أَصْحَابًا غَيْرَنَا ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا ، بَلْ أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَيْقَظَنِي ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، إِنِّي لَمْ أَبْعَثْ نَبِيًّا وَلَا رَسُولًا إِلَّا وَقَدْ سَأَلَنِي مَسْأَلَةً أَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ ، فَاسْأَلْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ تُعْطَ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَسْأَلَتِي شَفَاعَةٌ لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " , فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا الشَّفَاعَةُ ؟ قَالَ : " أَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ ، شَفَاعَتِي الَّتِي اخْتَبَأْتُ عِنْدَكَ ، فَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى : نَعَمْ , فَيُخْرِجُ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بَقِيَّةَ أُمَّتِي مِنَ النَّارِ ، فَيَنْبِذُهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one night the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) could not find the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), even though it was their practice that whenever they camped at a place, they would keep the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) among them. The people became anxious and began to think that perhaps Allah Almighty had chosen some other companions for him besides them. While they were lost in such worries, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appeared. The people, out of joy, raised the slogan of Allahu Akbar and said, "O Messenger of Allah! We were afraid that perhaps Allah had chosen some other companions for you besides us." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is not so; rather, you are my companions in this world and the Hereafter. The fact is that Allah Almighty woke me up and said, 'O Muhammad! Every prophet or messenger I sent made a request which I fulfilled, so O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), you also ask from Me, you will also be given.' I submitted, 'My request is that on the Day of Resurrection, I be granted permission to intercede on behalf of my Ummah.' Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! What will be the result of this intercession?' The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'I will submit in the Divine Court, "O Lord! That intercession of mine which I had deposited with You?" Allah Almighty will say, "Yes!" Then my Lord will take the remainder of my Ummah out of Hell and admit them into Paradise.'"
