For whom is the intercession of the Prophet (peace be upon him)?
Musnad Ishaq bin Rahwayh 48 — For whom is the intercession
أَخْبَرَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، نا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، نا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي سَالِمٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ مُعْتِبٍ الْهُذَلِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَاذَا رَدَّ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: ((وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَمَا يُهِمُّنِي مِنَ انْقِصَافِهِمْ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ أَهَمُّ عِنْدِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَشَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصًا يَصْدُقُ لِسَانُهُ قَلْبَهُ، وَقَلْبُهُ لِسَانَهُ)).
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "What answer did your Lord give you regarding intercession?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), their being stopped at the gate of Paradise is more significant to me, and my intercession is for the one who bears witness with sincerity that there is no deity except Allah, at a time when his tongue affirms his heart and his heart affirms his tongue."
