Hadith 2438

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ رَهْطٍ بِإِيلِيَاءَ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَكْثَرُ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ " ، قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , سِوَاكَ ؟ قَالَ : " سِوَايَ " ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ , قُلْتُ : مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : هَذَا ابْنُ أَبِي الْجَذْعَاءِ , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، أَبِي الْجَذْعَاءِ ، هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، وَإِنَّمَا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ الْوَاحِدُ .
´'Abdullah bin Shaqiq narrated:` " I was with a troop in Jerusalem, and a man among them said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saying: "From the intersection of one man in my Ummah more (people) then Banu Tamim will be admitted into Paradise.' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Someone other than you?' He said: 'Other than me.' So when he stood, I said: 'Who is this?' They said: 'This is Ibn Abi Al-Jadh'a.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊ The higher the rank of the believing intercessor, the more people he will be permitted to intercede for. It may reach the extent that, through the intercession of a single person, more individuals than the number of an entire tribe will be granted forgiveness.

➋ Banu Tamim is the tribe of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu. This member of the Ummah, by whose intercession so many people will be saved from Hell, may possibly be Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu himself. And Allah knows best.
