The Prophet indicated that on that Day, it is he alone who will be given the mastery and intercession. This is because mankind will not find refuge in any other prophet and seek refuge with him. When a person is in need he seeks the help of a master, and on that Day it is Prophet Muhammad alone among all mankind who will be given mastery. There will be none to share with him or claim otherwise.

Allah says, "And who is the Owner of the Kingdom on that Day? Allah, the One, the Conqueror!" (40:16). Both this world and the Everlasting world belong to Allah, and those who laid claim to their kingdom will be severed, and there is no doubt that Prophet Muhammad will be given mastery over all people in the Everlasting Life.

Anas heard the Prophet say, "On the Day of Resurrection, I will approach the Gate of Paradise and ask for it to be opened. Its guardian will inquire, 'Who are you?' and I will reply 'Muhammad', whereupon he will say, 'I was ordered not to open the door to anyone before you.'"

The Pool of the Prophet

The following prophetic quotations describe the Pool of the Prophet :

Abdullah, Amr's son, said that the Prophet told them, "The length of a journey across my pool is that of a month. Its water is whiter than silver and its fragrance is sweeter than musk. Its vessels are like the stars in the heaven and whosoever drinks from it will never thirst again."

Abu Dharr reported a similar saying, but gave details that the length of the Pool is the distance between Aden and Amman (capital of Jordan) and Ailah (a city by the sea in Palestine) and that two spouts from Paradise flow into it (from the river of Kawthar).

Tsauban reported similar and added, "There are two streams, one of them from gold and the other from silver."

Haritha, Wahab's son said, "Or, the length of pool is between Medina and Sanna (capital of Yemen)."
