The type of intercession in the hadith of whoever dies in Makkah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is mentioned in the hadith:
Whoever among you is able to die in Makkah, let him do so, for I will be a witness or an intercessor for him on the Day of Resurrection.من استطاع منكم أن يمت بالمدينة فليفعل، فإني أكون له شهيدا أو شفيعا يوم القيامة.
The question is: what is the type of this intercession?

Answer:
First, I do not know this hadith, nor do I know anything about it. It is not necessary that whoever dies in Makkah has the Messenger as his intercessor. The hypocrites died in Makkah, and they are
in the lowest depths of the Fireفِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
[An-Nisa 4:145]
they died in Makkah. So Abu, the leader of the hypocrites, died in Makkah, and he is in the lowest depth of the Fire. So the meaning of this hadith is not clear, I mean. Yes.
