that he said to the Prophet (ﷺ) “Did you benefit Abu Talib with anything?”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “None will enter Paradise but will be shown the place he would have occupied in
the (Hell) Fire if he had rejected faith, so that he may be more thankful; and none will enter the (Hell)
Fire but will be shown the place he would have occupied in Paradise if he had faith, so that may be a
cause of sorrow for him.”

I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Who will be the luckiest person who will gain your intercession on the Day
of Resurrection?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Abu Huraira! I have thought that none will ask me about this
Hadith before you, as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will
have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said, ‘None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah,’ sincerely from the bottom of his heart.”

Um (the mother of) Haritha came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) after Haritha had been martyred on the Day (of
the battle) of Badr by an arrow thrown by an unknown person. She said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! You
know the position of Haritha in my heart (i.e. how dear to me he was), so if he is in Paradise, I will not
weep for him, or otherwise, you will see what I will do.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Are you mad? Is there
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises, and he is in the highest Paradise of Firdaus.” The
Prophet added, “A forenoon journey or an after noon journey in Allah’s Cause is better than the whole
world and whatever is in it; and a place equal to an arrow bow of anyone of you, or a place equal to a
foot in Paradise is better than the whole world and whatever is in it; and if one of the women of
Paradise looked at the earth, she would fill the whole space between them (the earth and the heaven)
with light, and would fill whatever is in between them, with perfume, and the veil of her face is better
than the whole world and whatever is in it.”

the battle) of Badr by an arrow thrown by an unknown person. She said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! You

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection and they will say,
‘Let us request someone to intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.’
Then they will go to Adam and say, ‘You are the one whom Allah created with His Own Hands, and
breathed in you of His soul, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you; so please intercede for us with
our Lord.’ Adam will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, and will remember his sin, and will say,
‘Go to Noah, the first Apostle sent by Allah’
They will go to him and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking’, and will remember his sin and
say, ‘Go to Abraham whom Allah took as a Khalil.
They will go to him (and request similarly). He will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’ and will
remember his sin and say, ‘Go to Moses to whom Allah spoke directly.’
They will go to Moses and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’ and will remember his sin
and say, ‘Go to Jesus.’
They will go to him, and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, go to Muhammad as Allah has
forgiven his past and future sins.’
They will come to me and I will ask my Lord’s permission, and when I see Him, I will fall down in
prostration to Him, and He will leave me in that state as long as (He) Allah will, and then I will be
addressed. ‘Raise up your head (O Muhammad)! Ask, and your request will be granted, and say, and
your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.’ Then I will raise my
head, and I will glorify and praise my Lord with a saying(i.e. invocation) He will teach me, and then I
will intercede, Allah will fix a limit for me (i.e., certain type of people for whom I may intercede), and
I will take them out of the (Hell) Fire and let them enter Paradise. Then I will come back (to Allah)
and fall in prostration, and will do the same for the third and fourth times till no-one remains in the
(Hell) Fire except those whom the Qur’an has imprisoned therein.” (The sub-narrator, Qatada used to
say at that point, “…those upon whom eternity (in Hell) has been imposed.”) (See Hadith No. 3, Vol
6).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Some people will be taken out of the Fire through the intercession of Muhammad
they will enter Paradise and will be called Al-Jahannamiyin (the Hell Fire people).

The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the Fire and turned his face aside and asked for Allah’s protection from it, and
then again he mentioned the Fire and turned his face aside and asked for Allah’s protection from it and
said, “Protect yourselves from the Hell-Fire, even if with one half of a date, and he who cannot afford
that, then (let him do so) by (saying) a good, pleasant word.”

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)s when his uncle, Abu Talib had been mentioned in his presence, saying, “May
be my intercession will help him (Abu Talib) on the Day of Resurrection so that he may be put in a
shallow place in the Fire, with fire reaching his ankles and causing his brain to boil.”

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “The person who will have the least punishment from amongst the Hell
Fire people on the Day of Resurrection, will be a man under whose arch of the feet a smoldering
ember will be placed so that his brain will boil because of it.”
