Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Al-Jad‘a’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “By the intercession of one man from my Ummah, more people will enter Paradise than the (entire tribe of) Banu Tamim.” The people asked: “Other than you, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “Yes, other than me.”

Hadith Gradingتحقیق (حسین سلیم أسد الدارانی):إسناده صحيح ووهيب هو: ابن خالد وخالد هو: الحذاء، [مكتبه الشامله نمبر: 2850]
From this hadith, it is understood that, besides the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), many fortunate individuals from his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ummah will, by the command of Allah Ta'ala, be granted permission to intercede (shafa‘ah) on the Day of Resurrection, and their intercession will be accepted.
Whoever attains this lofty rank, has indeed achieved a great status.
