What is the special intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Question:
What is the special intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
The intercession for Abu Talib; only this one is specific to him. And there are two other special intercessions: the intercession for the people of the standing place, and the intercession for the people of major sins. These are specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The intercession for the people of the standing place is specific; all the messengers are delayed from it: Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. They are all delayed. This is specific to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
And the second intercession is for the people of Paradise, regarding their entry into Paradise. He is the one who opens the gate of Paradise for them. These are two.
And there is a third one specific to Abu Talib: an intercession to have the punishment lightened for him—may Allah grant us safety—because he was in the depths of the Fire. So he interceded for him, and he became in a shallow part of the Fire, from which his brain boils.
