Question:
The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam) Could you clarify?
Answer:
This is prescribed for the believer after the adhan. When he responds to the mu'adhdhin, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 523Sahih (Al-Albani) O Allah, send blessings upon him and peace Sahih Muslim 384 and in another wording: .
This wasilah is a rank in Paradise, a great palace in Paradise for our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is recommended to ask Allah to grant him this wasilah. And in the other wording:Sunan an-Nasa'i 680Sahih (Darussalam) This is also prescribed after the adhan, a supplication for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah grant him the wasilah, which is a rank in Paradise that is not fitting for any servant of Allah except one. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 384 (peace and blessings be upon him).
Question: His intercession in the Hereafter?
Answer: His intercession is sought from Allah. He intercedes for the Ummah on the Day of Resurrection until judgment is passed between them, until the believers enter Paradise. But you say: O Allah, grant intercession to Your Prophet, O Allah, make me among the people of His intercession, O Allah, do not deprive me of His intercession. Do not say: O Messenger of Allah, intercede for me. You do not call upon him after his death (peace and blessings be upon him); you ask Allah to make him intercede for you. O Allah, grant intercession to Your Prophet, O Allah, make me among the people of His intercession, O Allah, do not deprive me of His intercession, O my Lord. Thus the believer asks his Lord: [Az-Zumar: 44].
As for during his lifetime, there is no harm if he is alive among us, among his Companions, saying: O Messenger of Allah, intercede for us, supplicate to Allah for us. And so on the Day of Resurrection, when people rise from their graves and gather, they say to him. The believers gather and say to him: O Messenger of Allah, intercede for us until judgment is passed between us.
The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever asks for Al-Wasilah for me, will be entitled to my intercession.
من سأل لي الوسيلة؛ حلت له شفاعتيAnswer:
This is prescribed for the believer after the adhan. When he responds to the mu'adhdhin, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
when you hear the mu'adhdhin repeat what he says, invoke a blessing on me, for everyone who invoke one blessing on me will receive ten blessings from Allah.
إذا سمعتم المؤذن؛ فقولوا مثل ما يقول، ثم صلوا علي فإنه من صلى علي واحدة؛ صلى الله عليه بها عشرًاthen beg from Allah al-Wasila for me, which is a rank in Paradise fitting for only one of Allah's servants, and I hope that I may be that one. If anyone who asks that I be given the Wasila, he will be assured of my intercession.
ثم سلوا الله لي الوسيلة فإنها منزلة في الجنة لا تنبغي إلا لعبد من عباد الله، وأرجو أن أكون أنا هو، فمن سأل لي الوسيلة؛ حلت له شفاعتي يوم القيامةIntercession will be granted to him
حلت له الشفاعةThis wasilah is a rank in Paradise, a great palace in Paradise for our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is recommended to ask Allah to grant him this wasilah. And in the other wording:
Whoever says, when he hears the call to prayer: "Allahumma rabba hadhihid-da'wat it-tammah was-salat il-qaimah, ati Muahmmadan al-wasilah wal-fadilah, wab'athu maqaman mahmudan alladhi wa'adtahu (O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer to be offered, grant Muhammad the privilege (of interceding) and also the eminence, and resurrect him to the praised position that you have promised)
من قال حين يسمع النداء: اللهم رب هذه الدعوة، والصلاة القائمة، آت محمدًا الوسيلة والفضيلة، وابعثه المقام المحمود الذي وعدته، إنك لا تخلف الميعادand I hope that I may be that one
وأرجو أن أكون أنا هوQuestion: His intercession in the Hereafter?
Answer: His intercession is sought from Allah. He intercedes for the Ummah on the Day of Resurrection until judgment is passed between them, until the believers enter Paradise. But you say: O Allah, grant intercession to Your Prophet, O Allah, make me among the people of His intercession, O Allah, do not deprive me of His intercession. Do not say: O Messenger of Allah, intercede for me. You do not call upon him after his death (peace and blessings be upon him); you ask Allah to make him intercede for you. O Allah, grant intercession to Your Prophet, O Allah, make me among the people of His intercession, O Allah, do not deprive me of His intercession, O my Lord. Thus the believer asks his Lord:
Say, "To Allah belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely.
قُلْ لِلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيعًاAs for during his lifetime, there is no harm if he is alive among us, among his Companions, saying: O Messenger of Allah, intercede for us, supplicate to Allah for us. And so on the Day of Resurrection, when people rise from their graves and gather, they say to him. The believers gather and say to him: O Messenger of Allah, intercede for us until judgment is passed between us.
