\nNarrated Anas:\n \n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection the Believers will assemble and say, 'Let us ask \nsomebody to intercede for us with our Lord.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are the father of \nall the people, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you, \nand taught you the names of all things; so please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He may \nrelieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession for you).' Then \nAdam will remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof. He will say, 'Go to Noah, for he was the first \nApostle, Allah sent to the inhabitants of the earth.' They will go to him and Noah will say, \n'I am not fit for this undertaking.' He will remember his appeal to his Lord to do what he had no \nknowledge of, then he will feel ashamed thereof and will say, 'Go to the Khalil--r-Rahman (i.e. \nAbraham).' They will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. Go to Moses, the \nslave to whom Allah spoke (directly) and gave him the Torah .' So they will go to him and he will say, \n'I am not fit for this undertaking.' and he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer, and \nso he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord, and he will say, 'Go to Jesus, Allah's Slave, His \nApostle and Allah's Word and a Spirit coming from Him. Jesus will say, 'I am not fit for this \nundertaking, go to Muhammad the Slave of Allah whose past and future sins were forgiven by Allah.' \nSo they will come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my Lord's Permission and I will be given \npermission. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in Prostration and He will let me remain in that state \nas long as He wishes and then I will be addressed.' (Muhammad!) Raise your head. Ask, and your \nrequest will be granted; say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will \nbe accepted.' I will raise my head and praise Allah with a saying (i.e. invocation) He will teach me, \nand then I will intercede. He will fix a limit for me (to intercede for) whom I will admit into Paradise. \nThen I will come back again to Allah, and when I see my Lord, the same thing will happen to me. And \nthen I will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me to intercede whom I will let into Paradise, then I \nwill come back for the third time; and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say, 'None \nremains in Hell but those whom the Qur'an has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have been destined to an \neternal stay in Hell.' " (The compiler) Abu `Abdullah said: 'But those whom the Qur'an has imprisoned \nin Hell,' refers to the Statement of Allah: \n"They will dwell therein forever." (16.29)\n
