A servant companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), about whom the narrator is unsure whether they were male or female, reports that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would often ask the servant if they needed anything or had any work. One day, in the same manner, I said to the Prophet (peace be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! I have a request. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: What is your request? I said: Please intercede for me on the Day of Judgment. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: How did this thought come to you? The servant replied: Allah placed it in my heart. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Then help me by performing many prostrations.
