It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Allah, the Most High, will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection and they will be inspired concerning that" - a Hadith similar to theirs (no.476). The fourth time he said: "And I will say: 'O Lord, there is no one left in the Fire but those who have been detained by the Qur'an."' That is, those who are bound to abide therein forever.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُلْهَمُونَ لِذَلِكَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمَا وَذَكَرَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا مَنْ حَبَسَهُ الْقُرْآنُ أَيْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْخُلُودُ.

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Whoever says: 'La ilaha illallah,' and has in his heart goodness the weight of a grain of barley will be brought out of the Fire. Then whoever says: 'La ilaha illallah,' and has in his heart goodness the weight of a grain of wheat will be brought out of the Fire. Then whoever says: 'La ilaha illallah,' and has in his heart goodness the weight of a speck will be brought out of the Fire." Ibn Minhal added in his report: "Yazid said: 'I met Shu'bah and narrated this Hadith to him, and Shu'bah said: 'Qatadah narrated it to us from Anas bin Malik from the Prophet (s.a.w).' Except that Shu'bah said: 'A grain of corn (Zurrah)' instead of a speck (Dharrah).'"

و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ الضَّرِيرُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ وَهِشَامٌ صَاحِبُ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ح و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ شَعِيرَةً ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ بُرَّةً ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ ذَرَّةً زَادَ ابْنُ مِنْهَالٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ فَلَقِيتُ شُعْبَةَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِالْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا أَنَّ شُعْبَةَ جَعَلَ مَكَانَ الذَّرَّةِ ذُرَةً قَالَ يَزِيدُ صَحَّفَ فِيهَا أَبُو بِسْطَامَ.

Ma'bad bin Hilal Al-'Anazi said: "We went to Anas bin Malik and took Thabit with us to introduce us. We came to him and he was praying Ad-Duha. Thabit asked permission for us to enter and we entered upon him. He seated Thabit with him on his bedding, and he said to him: 'O Abu Hamzah, your brothers from Al-Basrah are asking you to tell them the Hadith about intercession.' He said: 'Muhammad (s.a.w) told us: 'On the Day of Resurrection, the people will surge against one another like waves, then they will go to Adam, and will say: 'Intercede for your offspring.' He will say: 'I am not capable of that, rather you should go to Ibrahim, for he is the Khalilullah (close friend of Allah), the Most High.' So they will go to Ibrahim, and he will say: 'I am not capable of that, rather you should go to Musa, for he is the one with whom Allah, the Most High, spoke.' They will go to Musa, - and he will say: 'I am not capable of that, rather you should go to 'Eisa, for he is a spirit from Allah and His word.' So they will go to 'Eisa and he will say: 'I am not capable of that, rather go to Muhammad (s.a.w).' "So they will come to me, and I will say: 'I am for that.' I will go and ask permission to speak to my Lord, and permission will be granted to me. I will stand before Him, and will praise Him with words of praise that I am not able to say now, but Allah, the Most High, will inspire me therewith. Then I will fall down prostrating to Him, and it will be said to me: 'O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak, you will be heard; ask, it will be given to you; intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will say: 'O Lord, my Ummah! My Ummah!' It will be said to me: 'Go, and whoever has in his heart faith the weight of a grain of wheat or barley, bring him out therefrom.' So I will go and do that, then I will come back to my Lord, the Most High, and I will praise Him with those words of praise, then I will fall down prostrating to Him, and it will be said to me: 'O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak, you will be heard; ask, it will be given to you; intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will say: 'O Lord, my Ummah! My Ummah!' It will be said to me: 'Go, and whoever has in his heart faith the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, bring him out therefrom.' So I will go and do that, then I will come back to my Lord and I will praise Him with those words of praise, then I will fall down prostrating to Him, and it will be said to me: 'O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak, you will be heard; ask, it will be given to you; intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will say: 'O Lord,my Ummah! My Ummah!' It will be said to me: 'Go, and whoever has in his heart faith that is smaller, smaller, smaller than a grain of mustard-seed, bring him out of the Fire.' And I will go and do that.'" (Ma'bad bin Hilal Al-'Anazi continued) "This is the Hadith of Anas that he narrated to us. Then we left him and when we were in the upper part of Al-Jabban we said: 'Why don't we go to Al-Hasan and greet him, while he is hiding in the house of Abu Khalifah?' So we went to him and greeted him, and we said: 'O Abu Sa'eed, we have come from the house of your brother Abu Hamzah, and we have never heard anything like the Hadith he told us about intercession.' He said: 'Tell me.' So we told him the Hadith and he said: 'Tell me more.' We said: 'He did not tell us any more than that.' He said: 'He narrated it to us twenty years ago when he was in good health, and (now) he has omitted something, but I do not know whether the Shaikh forgot, or if he did not want to tell it to you lest you become complacent.' We said to him: 'Tell us.' He smiled and said: "Man is created of haste. - I only said that to you because I want to narrate the Hadith to you. He (s.a.w) said: "Then I will go back to my Lord a fourth time and I will praise Him with those words of praise, then I will fall down prostrating to Him, and it will be said to me: 'O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak, you will be heard; ask, it will be given to you; intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will say: 'O Lord, give me permission (to intercede) regarding those who said: 'La ilaha illallah.' It will be said: 'That is not for you, but by My Might, Majesty, Greatness and Power, I shall bring forth whoever said: 'La ilaha illallah.' " He (Ma'bad bin Hilal Al-'Anazi) said: "I bear witness that Al-Hasan narrated this to us, and that he heard Anas bin Malik, I think he said twenty years earlier, when he was in good health."

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "One day some meat was brought to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and the foreleg, which he used to like, was offered to him. He took a bite, then he said: 'I will be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know why that is? On the Day of Resurrection Allah will gather together the first and the last on one plain, so that they can all hear the caller and they can all be seen. Then the sun will be brought close. The people will suffer unbearable distress and anguish, and they will say to one another: 'Don't you see the state you are in? Don't you see what has happened to you? Why don't you look for someone who will intercede for you?' - meaning with your Lord. The people will say to one another: 'Go to Adam.' So they will go to Adam - and will say: 'O Adam, you are the father of mankind, Allah created you with His Own Hand, and breathed into you the soul that He had created for you, and commanded the Angels to prostrate to you. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' Adam will say: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before, and will never be angry again. He forbade me the tree, but I disobeyed Him. Myself! Myself! Go to someone else, go to Nuh.' So they will go to Nuh - and will say: 'O Nuh, you are the first of the Messengers (of Allah) who were sent to the earth, and Allah called you a thankful slave. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' He will say: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before, and will never be angry again. I was granted a supplication and I prayed against my people. Myself! Myself! Go to Ibrahim. So they will go to Ibrahim, and will say: 'You are the Prophet of Allah and His close friend (Khalil) from among the people of earth. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' Ibrahim will say to them: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before, and will never be angry again' - and he will mention his lies - 'Myself! Myself! Go to someone else, go to Musa.' So they will go to Musa and will say: 'O Musa, you are the Messenger of Allah, Allah favored you over all people with His Messages and by speaking to you. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' Musa will say to them: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before and will never be angry again. I killed a soul whom I was not commanded to kill. Myself! Myself! Go to 'Eisa.' So they will go to 'Eisa and will say: 'O 'Eisa, you are the Messenger of Allah; you spoke to the people from the cradle and you are a Word from Him that He bestowed upon Mariam and a spirit created by Him. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' 'Eisa will say to them: 'My Lord is angry today in a way in which He has never been angry before and will never be angry again,' but he will not mention any sin, 'Myself! Myself! Go to someone else. Go to Muhammad (s.a.w).' So they will come to me and will say: 'O Muhammad, you are the Messenger of Allah and the Last of the Prophets, Allah forgave your past and future sins. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in? Do you not see what has happened to us?' So I will go and stand beneath the Throne, where I will fall down prostrating to my Lord. Then Allah will inspire me with words of praise which He has never granted to anyone before me. Then He will say: 'O Muhammad, raise your head. Ask, it will be given to you; seek intercession, and it will be granted to you.' I will raise my head and say: 'O Lord, my Ummah! My Ummah!' It will be said: 'O Muhammad, let those of you Ummah who have no account to render enter Paradise through the right-hand gate of Paradise.' They will share all other gates with the people apart from that gate. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! The distance between the sides of two gates of Paradise is like the distance between Makkah and Busra."'

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A bowl of Thareed and meat was placed before the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he took the foreleg, which was the part of the sheep that he liked best, and took a bite, then he said: 'I will be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection.' Then he took another bite and said: 'I will be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection.' When he saw that his Companions were not asking about that, he said: 'Are you not going to ask me how?' They said: 'How will that be, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'The people will stand before the Lord of the Worlds...'" And he (the narrator) quoted a Hadith of Abu Hayyan from Abu Zur'ah (no.480), and he added with regard to Ibrahim - : "He mentioned his saying concerning the stars: 'This is my Lord,' and his saying concerning their idols, 'The biggest one of them did it,' and his saying, 'I am sick."' Then he (s.a.w) said: "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the distance between the sides of two of the gates of Paradise and the two gate-posts is like the distance between Makkah and Hajar, or Hajar and Makkah.''

و حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ وُضِعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَصْعَةٌ مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ وَلَحْمٍ فَتَنَاوَلَ الذِّرَاعَ وَكَانَتْ أَحَبَّ الشَّاةِ إِلَيْهِ فَنَهَسَ نَهْسَةً فَقَالَ أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ نَهَسَ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَصْحَابَهُ لَا يَسْأَلُونَهُ قَالَ أَلَا تَقُولُونَ كَيْفَهْ قَالُوا كَيْفَهْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ وَزَادَ فِي قِصَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ وَذَكَرَ قَوْلَهُ فِي الْكَوْكَبِ { هَذَا رَبِّي } و قَوْله لِآلِهَتِهِمْ { بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا } و قَوْله { إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ } قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَى عِضَادَتَيْ الْبَابِ لَكَمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَهَجَرٍ أَوْ هَجَرٍ وَمَكَّةَ. قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ.

It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Allah, Blessed be He and Most High, will gather the people together (on the Day of Resurrection), and the believers will stand until Paradise is brought near to them. They will go to Adam - and will say: 'O our father! Ask for Paradise to be opened for us.' He will say: 'Were you expelled from Paradise for anything other than the error of your father Adam? I am not the one to do that. Go to my son Ibrahim, the Close Friend of Allah (Khalilillah).' But Ibrahim will say: 'I am not the one to do that. I was a close friend from beyond, and beyond. Go to Musa to whom Allah spoke directly.' So they will go to Musa - but he will say: 'I am not the one to do that. Go to 'Eisa, the word of Allah and a spirit created by Him.' But "Eisa - will say: 'I am not the one to do that.' Then they will go to Muhammad (s.a.w) and he will stand and permission will be granted to him (to open the Paradise). Trustworthiness and the ties of kinship will be sent and they will stand on either side of As-Sirat (the Bridge), on the right and left. The first of you will cross like lightning.' I said: 'May my father and mother by sacrificed for you, what does like lightning mean?' He said: 'Do you not see how the lightning strikes and returns in the blink of an eye? Then they will cross like the wind, or like birds, or like swiftly-running men. People's progress (of crossing the Bridge) will be in accordance with their deeds, and your Prophet will be standing on the Bridge saying: 'O Lord, grant safety, grant safety.' Then people's deeds will fail them, until a man comes, able to move only by crawling. At the sides of the Siril! will be hooks, which are commanded to seize those whom they are commanded. Some will be scratched and saved, and others will be piled up in the Fire.'" "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Abu Hurairah! The depth of Hell is (a distance of) seventy years."

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'I will be the first of the people to intercede concerning Paradise, and I will be the Prophet with the greatest number of followers."'

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا أَوَّلُ النَّاسِ يَشْفَعُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَا أَكْثَرُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَبَعًا.

Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'I will be the first one to intercede concerning Paradise. No Prophet was believed as I have been believed (by the people). Among the Prophets is a Prophet of whose people only one man believed in him."'

و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا أَوَّلُ شَفِيعٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ يُصَدَّقْ نَبِيٌّ مِنْ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مَا صُدِّقْتُ وَإِنَّ مِنْ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ نَبِيًّا مَا يُصَدِّقُهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'I will come to the gate of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection and will ask for it to be opened. The keeper will say: 'Who are you?' I will say: 'Muhammad.' He will say: 'I was commanded not to open it for anyone before you.'"

و حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آتِي بَابَ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَسْتَفْتِحُ فَيَقُولُ الْخَازِنُ مَنْ أَنْتَ فَأَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ فَيَقُولُ بِكَ أُمِرْتُ لَا أَفْتَحُ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلَكَ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Every Prophet is granted a supplication (that will be answered), and I want to defer my supplication so that I may intercede for my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection."

حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ يَدْعُوهَا فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
