Intercession on Judgement Day

Just the other day I was thinking about this and earlier today I was listening to a talk about how the Holy Prophet ﷺ will intercede for us on the Judgement. It was in urdu so I can't translate it with the exact same words and passion which touched me so here are a few ahadith about it:

The Holy Prophet(saw)the Intercessor of the Sinners said, “Allah gave me the option of

choosing between the power of intercession or having half of my Ummah admitted to

Paradise without any reckoning. I chose the power of intercession because that is more

important and will be more useful. Do you assume that my intercession is for the pious

Muslims? No, on the contrary, it is for those sinners who are steeped in sins and have

committed grave crimes."

Imam Ahmad in his Musnad from Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar. Ibn Maja from Hazrat Abu Musa Asha'ari

The Holy Prophet(saw)the Intercessor of the Sinners said, “I shall go towards Hell and

knock at its door, so it will be opened for me. I will enter it - and praise Allah with such

praise that has never been done by anyone before me, nor shall it ever be done by anyone

after me – and shall remove from it every such person who has with a sincere heart said

‘None is worthy of worship except Allah’.

Tibrani in Majam Awsat from Hazrat Abu Hurairah

The Holy Prophet(saw)the Intercessor of the Sinners said, “Pulpits of gold will be arranged

for the Prophets and they will sit on them, and my pulpit will remain empty as I will not

sit on it – but I shall stand humbly before my Lord fearing that I may be sent into Paradise

while my Ummah remains behind me. I shall then pray, “O my Lord! My Ummah! My

Ummah!” Allah the Supreme will proclaim, “O Mohammed! What is your wish regarding

what I should do with your Ummah?” I shall submit, “O my Lord! Settle their accounts

quickly!” So I will continue to intercede until I get letters to get released those who had

already been sent to hell – to the extent that Maalik, the custodian of hell, will exclaim,

“O Mohammed! You have not left even a bit of the Lord’s wrath among your Ummah!” Hakim with sound chains and Tibrani & Baihaqi from Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abba

Just reading those ahadith makes me think 😃 Subhan'Allah!!!!!!!!

But also 🙁 😢 :oops:

It's embarrassing and shameful and unimaginable for me to think of this happening. Prophet Muhammad (saw), the Greatest man on earth, interceding for me. Even after I have sinned and gone away from his path. God! what a nerve, we're gna have on that day to actually ask!! 🙁

Insha'Allah, I hope we can all try our best to stay on the straight path and remember who we should actually be trying to be pleasing, making happy and loving!

May Allah (swt) help us all. Ameen.
