The Great Intercession of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Abu 'Ammar says: Shaykh, regarding intercession, when does the Messenger intercede for his Ummah, and does he intercede for all of them?
Answer:
The Messenger has intercessions. The Great Intercession is for all of creation, so that Allah may relieve them from the hardship of the Standing, for they will stand on their feet for a long time, fifty thousand years, as mentioned in the Qur'an.
So they seek someone to intercede for them so that Allah may relieve them from this Standing. They come to the prophets, one after another, and each of them excuses himself from interceding for them, until they come to the Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They ask him to intercede with Allah to relieve them from the Standing and to direct them to the Reckoning. He says (peace and blessings be upon him): "I am the one for it, I am the one for it." Then he advances and falls prostrate before his Lord in a long prostration. Allah opens for him with praises, and then it is said to him: "O Muhammad, raise your head, intercede and you will be granted intercession, and speak and you will be heard." Yes.
