It was narrated that Abu Nadrah said: Ibn 'Abbas addressed us from the minbar of Basrah and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"There was no Prophet but he had a supplication that was fulfilled for him in this world, but I have saved my supplication to be an intercession for my ummah, I will be the leader of the sons of Adam on the Day of Resurrection, and no boast. I will be the first one for whom the earth is split, and no boast. In my hands will be a banner of praise, and no boast. Adam and all others will be under my banner, and no boast. The Day of Resurrection will be very long for the people, and they will say to one another: ‘Let us go to Adam, the father of mankind, so that he might intercede with our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, to judge among us.’ So they will go to Adam and will say: ‘O Adam, you are the one whom Allah created with His own hand, He caused you to dwell in Paradise and He commanded His angels to prostrate to you; intercede for us with your Lord so that He might judge among us.' He will say: ‘I am not able for that; I was expelled from Paradise because of my sin. I am not concerned about anyone today except myself. Rather go to Nooh, the head of the Prophets. So they will go to Nooh and will say: 'O Nooh, intercede for us with our Lord, that He might judge among us.' He will say, 'I am not able for that; I offered supplication because of which all the people of earth were drowned. I am not concerned about anyone today except myself. Rather go to Ibraheem the Close Friend (Khaleel) of Allah.’ So they will go to Ibraheem (عليه السلام) and will say: ‘O Ibraheem, intercede for us with our Lord so that He may judge among us.' But he will say: 'I am not able for that; I told three lies for the sake of lslam. I am not concerned about anyone else today except myself.’” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "All he wanted to do was to defend the religion of Allah when he said: ‘Verily, I am sick (as-Saffat 37:89) and he said of his wife when he came to the king, 'she is my sister.' - (Ibraheem will say:) 'Rather go to Moosa (عليه السلام), whom Allah chose to send with His message and He spoke to him.’ So they will go to Moosa and will say: 'O Moosa, you are the one whom Allah chose for His message and He spoke to you; intercede for us with our Lord so that He might judge among us. He will say: 'I am not able for that, for I killed a soul unlawfully. I am not concerned about anyone today except myself. Rather go to 'Eesa, the Spirit from Allah and His Word.' So they will go to ‘Eesa and will say: ‘O ‘Eesa, you are the Spirit from Allah and His word: intercede for us with your Lord, that He might judge among us.' But he will say: ‘I am not able for that, for I was taken as a god instead of Allah. I am not concerned about anyone today except myself. But if there was something in the vessel and it was sealed, would anyone be able to get what is in it unless he undoes the seal?’ They will say: 'No.' He will say: ‘Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets; he has just come today and his previous and future sins have been forgiven." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "So they will come to me and will say: "O Muhammad, intercede for us with your Lord, so that He might judge among us.' I will say: Yes, I am able for it, when Allah gives leave for whom He wills and is pleased with.' When Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, wants to judge among His creation, a caller will call out: "Where is Muhammad and his ummah?" For we are the last and the first; we are the last of the nations and the first to be brought to account. So the other nations will make way for us, and we will start moving with faces and limbs that are bright with the traces of wudoo’. The other nations will say: ‘Nearly all of this ummah are almost Prophets.” Then I will come to the gate of Paradise and will take hold of the ring in the gate and knock on it. It will be said: ‘Who are you?' I will say: 'I am Muhammad.’ It will be opened for me, and I will see my Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, on His Throne, I will fall down in prostration before Him and I will praise Him in words of praise that no one said before me and no one will say after me. It will be said: 'O Muhammad, raise your head; ask and you will be given, speak and you will be heard, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and say: ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah.’ It will be said to me: ‘Bring forth from the Fire whoever has in his heart faith the weight of such and such, and I will bring them forth. Then I will go back and prostrate, and I will praise Him in words of praise that no one said before me and no one will say after me. It will be said: ‘Raise your head; speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and say: 'O Lord, my ummah, my ummah.’ It will be said: ‘Bring forth from the Fire whoever has in his heart faith the weight of such and such, and I will bring them forth.’ And the third time he also said something similar.
