Hadith 1045

1045 - أنا التُّجِيبِيُّ، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَامِي، نا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، نا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ، وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي - إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ - شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that indeed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Every prophet has a supplication, and I, insha’Allah, intend to keep my supplication hidden so that I may intercede for my ummah on the Day of Resurrection."

Brief Explanation
Explanation: -
Our Sheikh, Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai rahimahullah, states:

① The intercession (shafa‘ah) of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for his Ummah (Muslims), by the permission of Allah, is a truth. The following Companions have also narrated this: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik radi Allahu anhu [صحيح بخاري : 6305 ، صحيح مسلم : 200], Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah radi Allahu anhu ([صحيح مسلم : 201]), Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As radi Allahu anhu ([صحيح مسلم : 202]), Sayyiduna Ka‘b bin ‘Ujrah radi Allahu anhu [الشريعة اللآ جري : ص 338 ، ح780 ، وسنده صحيح], Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri radi Allahu anhu [أحمد : 12 ، 11/2 ، وسنده حسن ، ابن ماجه : 4280 ، صححه الحاكم على شرط مسلم : 2/ 585 , 586], Sayyidah Umm Habibah radi Allahu anha [المستدرك للحاكم : 1/ 28 ج 227 ، وسنده صحيح وصححه الحاكم على شرط الشيخين و وافقه الذهبي], and others.
Rather, the hadith regarding intercession is mutawatir (mass-transmitted). See Nazm al-Mutanathir lil-Kattani (H: 304).

② The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was extremely merciful to his Ummah, and Allah sent him as a mercy to the worlds.

③ Every Prophet had a supplication that was certainly accepted, and the Prophet also had knowledge of this supplication.

④ Allah the Exalted granted the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam superiority over all the Prophets.

⑤ Any Muslim who does not commit shirk (polytheism) or kufr (disbelief), even if he is greatly sinful, will not remain in Hell forever [الاتحاف الباسم ص : 414 ، 415].
