Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, he says: What is the meaning of the phrase recited after the adhan: "Grant Muhammad the intercession and the excellence, and raise him to the praised station which You have promised him."
Answer:
The intercession is a pavilion in Paradise, and it should not be for anyone but a prophet. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That is it.
And the excellence is all the noble deeds and good thingsSahih al-Bukhari 4719, and that is in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Isra 17:79] And that is because the people on the Day of Resurrection, when they are gathered in one place on one plain, will be crowded and suffer from intense heat. So they will approach the prophets, one by one, asking them to intercede for them with their Lord to relieve them from this standing. Every prophet will make excuses until they reach Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and they will ask him to intercede with Allah to separate the servants and relieve them from the standing. He will say (peace and blessings be upon him): "I am the one for it, I am the one for it." Then he will fall prostrate before his Lord until it is said to him: "O Muhammad, raise your head, ask and you will be granted, and intercede and you will be granted intercession." So he will intercede with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) to relieve the servants from the long standing of fifty thousand years, while they are standing on their feet. He will relieve them from the standing to the Reckoning. Yes.
