حَدَّثَنَا
حَجَّاجٌ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا
ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ دَارَّةَ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّا لَبِالْبَقِيعِ مَعَ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ إِذْ سَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ : أَنَا أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِشَفَاعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، قَالَ : فَتَدَاكَّ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالُوا : إِيهٍ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ! قَالَ : يَقُولُ :
" اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَكَ يُؤْمِنُ بِي ، لَا يُشْرِكُ بِكَ " .
Ibn Warah, who was the freed slave of Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), says that we were with Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Jannat al-Baqi‘. We heard him saying that among the people, I know best who will benefit most from the intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Day of Resurrection. The people crowded around him and insisted, "May Allah's mercy be upon you, please tell us." He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray: "O Allah! Forgive every Muslim servant who meets You in such a state that he believes in me and does not associate anyone with You."
