Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, how do we reconcile the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) statement in the hadith, “If he intercedes, he is a hypocrite,” with his statementMishkat al-Masabih 2750 khawt?
Answer:
Yes, there is no contradiction between the two hadiths. He interceded and intended to benefit his brother. Thank you. The hole of the intercession. Because he was not known, he did what he could and intended to benefit his brother, but the acceptance of the intercession is not with him; rather, it is with the one for whom the intercession is made, and the one for whom it is made is excused, and the one to whom it is made is excused, because he did not know this person. The custom is that intercession is not accepted except for known people, and this person was not known, so he is excused for this.

Ibn ‘Umar reported God’s messenger as saying, “Let him who can die in Medina, for I shall intercede for those who die in it." Ahmad and Tirmidhi transmitted it, the latter saying this is a hasan sahih tradition whose isnad is gharib.
