The Intercessions Specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are the intercessions by which some people’s good deeds are equalized in raising the ranks of some of the people of Paradise specific to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), or not? All of them?
Answer:
No, the specific ones are two: the intercession for the people of the standing place until judgment is passed between them, and the intercession for the people of Paradise. These two intercessions are specific to him.
And there is a third one that is also specific to him, for his uncle Abu Talib: his intercession for him so that his punishment is lightened. It was said that he was in the depths of the Fire, so he interceded for him until Allah placed him in a shallow pool of Fire from which his brain boils. It was said that the lightest of people in punishment on the Day of Resurrection is Abu Talib, and that he has two slippers of Fire from which his brain boils. We ask Allah for safety. Yes. The lightest of the Fire’s punishment is for those who are shod with the Fire. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
