What is meant by intercession in a statement like his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: “My intercession has become permissible for him,” and for whom is it?

The Shaykh: and so on, , perhaps this is the answer to your question?

The questioner: As for me, I say: This is a general statement, and there are specific ones, and there are hadiths that restricted the matter, and I do not believe here that the absolute is to be understood in light of the restricted.

The Shaykh: Okay, how do you understand “My intercession has become permissible for him”? Does it mean he enters the Fire and then intercession becomes permissible for him?

The questioner: The matter is ambiguous, because there are people who enter the Fire, and then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intercedes for them, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) takes them out of the Fire, after the intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), by the permission of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

The Shaykh: Yes, this is known, but I...

The questioner: Perhaps these are, for example, like those?

The Shaykh: No, for example: there is a well-known hadith: .

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Can the first hadith be interpreted by this hadith?

The questioner: The restricted hadith?

The Shaykh: , can it be interpreted by the hadith: ?

The questioner : Yes, you may.

The Shaykh: It is not possible, and if this becomes clear to you, I think the hadith and the answer will come with it, so ask about it, because his (peace be upon him) saying: : this is an intercession more specific than the intercession mentioned in the second hadith: ; because the one who preserves the prayers, and not only the prayers, but also the recommended and encouraged acts of devotion, this person is not among the people of major sins who, meaning, deserve that intercession, and as the narrator of the second hadith, Jabir ibn Abdullah, said: “This intercession is not for us” – there is something in my mind – what did he say? “This intercession is not for us,” he wants to say: that they are not among the people of major sins so that this intercession would be for them, so his (peace be upon him) saying regarding the one who responds to the mu'adhdhin: : this is the intercession of the people of major sins from my Ummah, no, this is a special intercession, so this intercession is either what you asked about, or what you did not ask about, which is the raising of his rank in Paradise and so on, so perhaps the author means this, but as I said, he did not explain the hadiths.

The questioner: I intended to ask my Shaykh: Perhaps a person eats riba (usury or interest), hears the adhan (the call to prayer), and prays upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asks for him the wasilah (seeking nearness to Allah through a means).

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner: Is this not among the people of major sins who enter it?

The Shaykh: Yes, he is among the people of major sins, but he has a second intercession.

The questioner: Yes, he does not fall under the first one?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.
