Volume 9, Book 93, Number 606:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Adam and Moses debated with each other and Moses said, ‘You are Adam who
turned out your offspring from Paradise.’ Adam said, “You are Moses whom Allah chose for His Mes –
sage and for His direct talk, yet you blame me for a matter which had been ordained for me even be –
fore my creation?’ Thus Adam overcame Moses.”
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 607:
Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The believers will be assembled on the Day of Resurrection and they will say,
‘Let us look for someone to intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.’ So they will go to Adam and say, ‘You are Adam, the father of mankind, and Allah created you
with His Own Hands and ordered the Angels to prostrate before you, and He taught you the names
of all things; so please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us.’ Adam will say, to
them, ‘I am not fit for that,’ and then he will mention to them his mistake which he has committed.’ ”

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 598:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard the Prophet saying, “If somebody commits a sin and then says, ‘O my Lord! I have sinned,
please forgive me!’ and his Lord says, ‘My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and
punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sins).’ Then he remains without committing
any sin for a while and then again commits another sin and says, ‘O my Lord, I have committed an –
other sin, please forgive me,’ and Allah says, ‘My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives
sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sin). Then he remains without Com –
mitting any another sin for a while and then commits another sin (for the third time) and says, ‘O my
Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,’ and Allah says, ‘My slave has known that he
has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for it I therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), he can
do whatever he likes.”
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 599:
Narrated Abu Said:
The Prophet mentioned a man from the people of the past or those who preceded you. The Prophet
said a sentence meaning: Allah had given him wealth and children. When his death approached, he
said to his sons, “What kind of father have I been to you?” They replied, “You have been a good fath –
er.” He told them that he had not presented any good deed before Allah, and if Allah should get hold
of him He would punish him.’ “So look!” he added, “When I die, burn me, and when I turn into coal,
crush me, and when there comes a windy day, scatter my ashes in the wind.” The Prophet added,
“Then by Allah, he took a firm promise from his children to do so, and they did so. (They burnt him
after his death) and threw his ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to his ashes. “Be,” and
behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, “O My slave! What made you do what you did?” He
replied, “For fear of You.” Nothing saved him then but Allah’s Mercy (So Allah forgave him).

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 600:
Narrated Anas:
I heard the Prophet saying, “On the Day of Resurrection I will intercede and say, “O my Lord! Ad –
mit into Paradise (even) those who have faith equal to a mustard seed in their hearts.” Such people
will enter Paradise, and then I will say, ‘O (Allah) admit into Paradise (even) those who have the least
amount of faith in their hearts.” Anas then said: As if I were just now looking at the fingers of Allah’s
Apostle.
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 601:
Narrated Ma’bad bin Hilal Al’Anzi:
We, i.e., some people from Basra gathered and went to Anas bin Malik, and we went in company
with Thabit Al-Bunnani so that he might ask him about the Hadith of Intercession on our behalf. Be –
hold, Anas was in his palace, and our arrival coincided with his Duha prayer. We asked permission
to enter and he admitted us while he was sitting on his bed. We said to Thabit, “Do not ask him about
anything else first but the Hadith of Intercession.” He said, “O Abu Hamza! There are your brethren
from Basra coming to ask you about the Hadith of Intercession.” Anas then said, “Muhammad talked
to us saying, ‘On the Day of Resurrection the people will surge with each other like waves, and then
they will come to Adam and say, ‘Please intercede for us with your Lord.’ He will say, ‘I am not fit for
that but you’d better go to Abraham as he is the Khalil of the Beneficent.’ They will go to Abraham
and he will say, ‘I am not fit for that, but you’d better go to Moses as he is the one to whom Allah
spoke directly.’ So they will go to Moses and he will say, ‘I am not fit for that, but you’d better go to
Jesus as he is a soul created by Allah and His Word.’ (Be: And it was) they will go to Jesus and he will
say, ‘I am not fit for that, but you’d better go to Muhammad.’
They would come to me and I would say, ‘I am for that.’ Then I will ask for my Lord’s permission,
and it will be given, and then He will inspire me to praise Him with such praises as I do not know
now. So I will praise Him with those praises and will fall down, prostrate before Him. Then it will be
said, ‘O Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for your will be
granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my
followers! My followers!’ And then it will be said, ‘Go and take out of Hell (Fire) all those who have
faith in their hearts, equal to the weight of a barley grain.’ I will go and do so and return to praise
Him with the same praises, and fall down (prostrate) before Him. Then it will be said, ‘O
Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted
(your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my follow –
ers! My followers!’ It will be said, ‘Go and take out of it all those who have faith in their hearts equal
to the weight of a small ant or a mustard seed.’ I will go and do so and return to praise Him with the
same praises, and fall down in prostration before Him. It will be said, ‘O, Muhammad, raise your
head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and inter –

cede, for your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my followers!’ Then He will say, ‘Go
and take out (all those) in whose hearts there is faith even to the lightest, lightest mustard seed. (Take
them) out of the Fire.’ I will go and do so.”‘
When we left Anas, I said to some of my companions, “Let’s pass by Al-Hasan who is hiding him –
self in the house of Abi Khalifa and request him to tell us what Anas bin Malik has told us.” So we
went to him and we greeted him and he admitted us. We said to him, “O Abu Said! We came to you
from your brother Anas Bin Malik and he related to us a Hadith about the intercession the like of
which I have never heard.” He said, “What is that?” Then we told him of the Hadith and said, “He
stopped at this point (of the Hadith).” He said, “What then?” We said, “He did not add anything to
that.” He said, Anas related the Hadith to me twenty years ago when he was a young fellow. I don’t
know whether he forgot or if he did not like to let you depend on what he might have said.” We said,
“O Abu Said ! Let us know that.” He smiled and said, “Man was created hasty. I did not mention that,
but that I wanted to inform you of it.
Anas told me the same as he told you and said that the Prophet added, ‘I then return for a fourth
time and praise Him similarly and prostrate before Him me the same as he ‘O Muhammad, raise
your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request): and
intercede, for your intercession will be accepted .’ I will say, ‘O Lord, allow me to intercede for who –
ever said, ‘None has the right to be worshiped except Allah.’ Then Allah will say, ‘By my Power, and
my Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by My Greatness, I will take out of Hell (Fire) whoever said:
‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.’ ”
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 602:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The person who will be the last one to enter Paradise and the last to come out
of Hell (Fire) will be a man who will come out crawling, and his Lord will say to him, ‘Enter Paradise.’
He will reply, ‘O Lord, Paradise is full.’ Allah will give him the same order thrice, and each time the
man will give Him the same reply, i.e., ‘Paradise is full.’ Thereupon Allah will say (to him), ‘Ten times
of the world is for you.’ “
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 596:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah said, ‘I am to my slave as he thinks of Me, (i.e. I am able to do for him
what he thinks I can do for him). (See Hadith No. 502)
