Intercession of the Holy Prophet

Shafa'e Roze Jaza tum pe karoro Durood
Dafa'e Jumla bala tum pe karoro Durood

The Holy Prophet is an Intercessor and through the special permission granted to him by Almighty Al’laah, he will intercede on the day of Qiyamaah. Almighty Al’laah in the Glorious Qur’aan Azeem states:


“Who is there, that can intercede before Him, without His Permission. He knows whatever is ahead of them and what is behind them.” [Surah Baqarah Verse.255]


“Soon your Creator shall raise you to stand at a station, where all shall praise you.” [Surah Bani Isra’eel Verse.79]

Imam Khaazin and Imam Nasfi (alaihimur rahma) have stated the following in the commentary of this verse:


“And the Maqaame Mahmood is a point of intercession for there; all those who were before and after will praise and honour the Holy Prophet .” [Tafseer-e-Khaazin Pg.175 Vol.3 - Madaarik Pg.175 - Tafseer-e-Jalaalain Pg.237 -Tafseer Jaami' ul Bayaan Pg.245]

‘It is the station of intercession’ [Jaame Tirmizi Pg.142 Vol.2]

Hazrat Imam Bukhari  quotes the Hadith on intercession in the Sahih Bukhari. In this it is stated:


Then Rasool recited the verse: ‘It is near that your lord may make you stand at a place where all should praise you.’ And he then said, ‘And it has been promised to your Nabi Muhammad by Almighty Al’laah.’ [Sahih Bukhari Shareef 1118 Vol.2 - Mishkaat Pg.489 - Mirkaat Pg.282 Vol.10 - Ash'atul Lam'aat Pg.387 Vol.3]

Imam Nasfi, Imam Suyuti and Imam Qurtabi (radi Al’laahu anhum) have stated the following concerning the verse of the Holy Qur’aan,


“And verily, soon your Creator will bestow upon you so abundantly that you shall be satisfied (completely pleased)”. [Surah Duhaa Verse.5]


When this verse of the Holy Qur’aan was revealed then the Holy Prophet said, “Then I will never be pleased until every single one of my Ummah is removed from the fire of Hell.” [Tafseer Durr Manthur Pg.361 Vol.6 - Tafseere Qurtabi Pg.96 Vol.20 – Tafseere Azeezi Pg.318 Vol.4 - Tafseere Madaarik Pg.364 Vol.4]

Imam-ul-Mufas’sireen Ala’uddeen Ali bin Muhammad bin Ibrahim Baghdadi  in his Tafseer-e-Khaazin states the following on the commentary of the verse


“And verily, soon your Creator will bestow upon you so abundantly that you shall be satisfied (completely pleased)” that Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas states,


“(The meaning of this giving is) the intercession for the Ummah up to the time when you become pleased” [Tafseer-e-Khaazin Pg.258 Vol.7]

Hazrat Auf bin Maalik  states that the Holy Prophet has said,


“A certain person came to me from of my Creator and he gave me the option of either half my Ummah entering Jannat or my intercession so I accepted the intercession and this is for every such person except those who commit shirk” [Mishkaat Pg.494 – Jaame Tirmizi Pg.67 Vol.2 - Ibn Majah Pg.330 - Ash’atul Lam'aat Pg.404 Vol.4 – Mirkaat Pg.310 Vol.10 - Mustadrik Pg.67 Vol.1]

Hazrat Ali Murtuza  says that the Holy Prophet said,

Hazrat Abu Hurairah  reports that the Holy Prophet  said,


“One (special) Dua of every Nabi is accepted and every Nabi was swift in making that Dua and I have kept this Dua for the day of Qiyamaah for the Shafa'at of my Ummah and this Dua of mine is one that will reach every that person in my Ummah who died without committing shirk with Almighty Al’laah.” [Ibn Majah Shareef Pg.329 - Mishkaat Shareef Pg.194 - Ash'atul Lam'aat Pg.168 Vol.2 – Sahih Bukhari Shareef Pg.932 Vol.2 - Sahih Muslim Shareef Pg.113 Vol.1 - Fathul Baari Pg.96 Vol.11 - Umdatul Qaari Pg.276 Vol.22 – Irshaadus Saari - Mustadrik Pg.68 Vol.1-Tirmizi Shareef Pg.600 Vol.6 – Jaame Sagheer Pg.97 Vol.1-Nihaaya Pg.208 Vol.2]

Hazrat Ubay bin Ka'ab  reports that the Holy Prophet said,


“On the day of Qiyamaah I will be the Leader and Spokesperson of all the Ambia (Alaihimus Salaam) and I will be the master of their intercession. I do not say this out of pride.” [Mishkaat Shareef Pg.514 - Ash'atul Lam'aat Pg.478 Vol.4 - Mirkaat Shareef Pg.64 & 65 Vol.11 - Tirmizi Shareef Pg.201 Vol.2 - Jaame Sagheer Pg.33 Vol.1 – Mustadrik Pg.71 Vol.1 - Talkhees Pg.71 Vol.1 - Ibn Majah Shareef Pg.330]

Hazrat Anas bin Maalik  says that the Holy Prophet said,


“When the people will rise from their graves, then I shall be the first to rise. I will be their leader when they go before Al’laah and I will be their spokesperson when they are all alone and I will be their intercessor when they are stopped in Mahshar and I will give them hope when they are in despair. The keys of respect and treasures of mercy will be in my hand on that day Liwa ul Humd (The Flag of Praise) will be in my hand. From amongst all the people I am the most exalted near my Creator. Thousands of servants will be going around me as if they were eggs and are kept with great care or like pearls all widely spread out.” [Mishkaat Shareef Pg.514 – Jaame Tirmizi Pg.201 Vol.2 - Darmi Shareef Pg.30 Vol.1 - Ash'atul Lam'aat Pg.477 Mirkaat Shareef Pg.63 Vol.11]

Hazrat Abu Hurairah  reports that the Holy Prophet said,


“On the day of Qiyamaah I will be the leader of the children of Hazrat Adam (Alaihis Salaam). I will be the first to rise from my grave. I will be the first to start interceding and my intercession will be the first to be accepted.” [Mishkaat Shareef Pg.511 - Sahih Muslim Shareef Pg.245 Vol.2 - Ash'atul Lam'aat Pg.466 Vol.4 – Mirkaat Shareef Pg.45 Vol.11 - Ibn Majah Shareef Pg.329]

Hazrat Jaabir  reports that the Holy Prophet said,


“I am the leader of the Prophets and I do not show any pride. I am the seal of the Prophets and I do not show any pride, and first of all I will intercede and my intercession will be accepted and I do not show any pride.” [Mishkaat Pg.514, Ash'atul Lam'aat Pg.477 Vol.4 - Mirkaat Pg.63 Vol.11]

Hazrat Anas  reports that the Holy Prophet Muhammad said that on the day of Qiyamaah, the people will congregate and say


“We wish to find someone to intercede for us in the Court of Almighty Al’laah so that He may grant us comfort at this point.”

After this, they will go before Hazrat Adam (Alaihis Salaam) and say, “O Adam! (Alaihis Salaam) Are you not looking at the people? Almighty Al’laah has created you with his Qudrat and commanded the Angels to prostrate before you. He gave you the knowledge of the names of everything.”
They will say,


“Intercede for us in the court of our Creator so that He may grant us (some) relief at this point.” Then Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) will say, ! ‘This is not my duty” (In other words first open the doors of Shafa'at). He shall say,


“Go to Hazrat Nooh (alaihis salaam) for he is the first Nabi that Almighty Al’laah sent towards the people on earth.” Then they will go to Hazrat Nooh (alaihis salaam) and he too will say,! “This is not my duty” (first open the doors of Shafa'at). He shall further say,


Go to Hazrat Ibrahim (alaihis salaam).
He is the friend of Almighty Al’laah.”
Then they will go to him and he shall say! “This is not my duty.” He will further say,


“Go to Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam). He is a special servant of Almighty Al’laah. Almighty Al’laah gave him the Tauraat and also spoke to him.”

Thus the people will go before him and he too will shall! “This is not my duty.”


Go to Hazrat Esa (alaihis salaam) He is the special servant and Rasool of Almighty Al’laah and His Kalima and Rooh.”

The people will then present themselves before Hazrat Esa (alaihis salaam) and he will say, and then say:


“Go into the Court of Hazrat Muhammad who is a unique servant of Almighty Al’laah and it is through him that Almighty Al’laah has forgiven those before and after him.” Then Huzoor said, “They will come to me”


“Then, I shall ask for permission in the Court of Almighty Al’laah and permission will be granted. And when I am granted the divine vision of seeing Almighty Al’laah, I will prostrate (make Sajdah). Then Almighty Al’laah will say,


“Rise O Muhammad , Ask and request and it will be given, and intercede and your intercession shall be accepted. “

The Holy Prophet has stated, “Any person who read laa ilaaha ilal la and has Imaan in his heart equal to a grain of wheat, He will be taken out of Jahanum, after this, he will be removed from Jahanum who has in his heart Imaan equivalent to a speck of flour and then he will be removed from Jahanum who has in his heart Imaan equivalent to a speck of dust. [Bukhari Shareef Pg.1102 Vol.2 – Ibn Majah Pg.329 - Mirkaat Pg.276 Vol.10 - Nihaaya Pg.188 Vol.2]

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Proper Sunni Beliefs)
