The Intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the People of Paradise in Entering It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, the third type of specific intercession belonging to the Messenger is entering Paradise. He intercedes for the people of Paradise so that they may enter Paradise. As for the intercession to alleviate the punishment of the sinners among the believers, this is established for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and for others among the prophets, the martyrs, and the righteous, even those who pray over the deceased intercede. They intercede for the deceased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If any Muslim dies and forty men who associate nothing with Allah stand over his prayer (they offer prayer over him), Allah will accept them as intercessors for him. ما من رجلٍ مسلم يموت فيقوم على جنازته أربعون رجلا لا يشركون بالله شيئا إلا شفعهم الله فيه
Sahih Muslim 948
How do they intercede? Yes, because they make du'a for him, saying: "O Allah, forgive him. O Allah, have mercy on him." If Allah accepts this du'a, then that is the accepted intercession.
