as he used to like it. He ate a morsel of it and said, “I will be the chief of all the people on the Day of
Resurrection. Do you know the reason for it? Allah will gather all the human being of early genera –
tions as well as late generation on one plain so that the announcer will be able to make them all-
hear his voice and the watcher will be able to see all of them. The sun will come so close to the
people that they will suffer such distress and trouble as they will not be able to bear or stand. Then
the people will say, ‘Don’t you see to what state you have reached? Won’t you look for someone who
can intercede for you with your Lord’ Some people will say to some others, ‘Go to Adam.’ So they will
go to Adam and say to him. ‘You are the father of mankind; Allah created you with His Own Hand,
and breathed into you of His Spirit (meaning the spirit which he created for you); and ordered the
angels to prostrate before you; so (please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don’t you see in what state
we are? Don’t you see what condition we have reached?’ Adam will say, ‘Today my Lord has become
angry as He has never become before, nor will ever become thereafter. He forbade me (to eat of the
fruit of) the tree, but I disobeyed Him . Myself! Myself! Myself! (has more need for intercession). Go
to someone else; go to Noah.’ So they will go to Noah and say (to him), ‘O Noah! You are the first (of
Allah’s Messengers) to the people of the earth, and Allah has named you a thankful slave; please in –
tercede for us with your Lord. Don’t you see in what state we are?’ He will say.’ Today my Lord has
become angry as He has never become nor will ever become thereafter. I had (in the world) the right
to make one definitely accepted invocation, and I made it against my nation. Myself! Myself! Myself!
Go to someone else; go to Abraham.’ They will go to Abraham and say, ‘O Abraham! You are Allah’s
Apostle and His Khalil from among the people of the earth; so please intercede for us with your Lord.
Don’t you see in what state we are?’ He will say to them, ‘My Lord has today become angry as He has
never become before, nor will ever become thereafter. I had told three lies (Abu Haiyan (the sub-
narrator) mentioned them in the Hadith) Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Moses.’
The people will then go to Moses and say, ‘O Moses! You art Allah’s Apostle and Allah gave you su –

periority above the others with this message and with His direct Talk to you; (please) intercede for us
with your Lord Don’t you see in what state we are?’ Moses will say, ‘My Lord has today become angry
as He has never become before, nor will become thereafter, I killed a person whom I had not been
ordered to kill. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Jesus.’ So they will go to Jesus and
say, ‘O Jesus! You are Allah’s Apostle and His Word which He sent to Mary, and a superior soul cre –
ated by Him, and you talked to the people while still young in the cradle. Please intercede for us with
your Lord. Don’t you see in what state we are?’ Jesus will say. ‘My Lord has today become angry as He
has never become before nor will ever become thereafter. Jesus will not mention any sin, but will
say, ‘Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Muhammad.’ So they will come to me and say,
‘O Muhammad ! You are Allah’s Apostle and the last of the prophets, and Allah forgave your early
and late sins. (Please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don’t you see in what state we are?” The
Prophet added, “Then I will go beneath Allah’s Throne and fall in prostration before my Lord. And
then Allah will guide me to such praises and glorification to Him as He has never guided anybody
else before me. Then it will be said, ‘O Muhammad Raise your head. Ask, and it will be granted. In –
tercede It (your intercession) will be accepted.’ So I will raise my head and Say, ‘My followers, O my
Lord! My followers, O my Lord’. It will be said, ‘O Muhammad! Let those of your followers who have
no accounts, enter through such a gate of the gates of Paradise as lies on the right; and they will
share the other gates with the people.” The Prophet further said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is,
the distance between every two gate-posts of Paradise is like the distance between Mecca and Busra
(in Sham).”

Regarding the explanation of the Verse: ‘Those whom they call upon (worship) (like Jesus the Son
of Mary, angels etc.) desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah) as to which of them
should be the nearer and they hope for His Mercy and fear His torment.’ (17.57) They themselves
(e.g. Angels, saints, Apostles, Jesus, etc.,) worshipped Allah, Those Jinns who were worshipped by
some Arabs became Muslims (embraced Islam), but those human beings stuck to their (old) religion.
Al-Amash said extra: ‘Say, (O Muhammad): Call unto those besides Him whom you assume (to be
gods).’ (17.56)
