The Categories of the Intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Abu Isma'il says: Tell us about the intercession of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Is it a specific intercession or a general one, and what are the categories of intercession?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has several intercessions. The first is the Great Intercession, which is his intercession for the people of the Gathering when their standing on their feet in the crowd becomes prolonged. The sun draws near to them, and sweat binds them. They ask the prophets to intercede for them with Allah to relieve them from this situation. They come to Adam, then to the prophets after him, and each one excuses himself. Then it ends with our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They ask him for intercession, and he says, "I am the one for it, I am the one for it." He falls prostrate before his Lord until it is said to him, "O Muhammad, raise your head, speak and you will be heard, and intercede and you will be granted intercession." When Allah permits him to intercede, he intercedes with Allah to relieve the servants from the length of the standing and to direct them to the Reckoning. Yes.
