Whereas the ‘Beloved’ was told, "O family of the house, Allah only wishes to distance fault from you, and to cleanse you" (33:33).
The preceding information is sufficient, to give one a glimpse into the superiority of the rank, degrees and status of Prophet Muhammad and to the inform you of the opinions of the scholars of Islam. Allah says, "Each human works in his own manner. But your Lord knows very well who is best guided on the way" (17:84).
The Favored Intercession of Prophet Muhammad
on the Day of Judgement
Allah tells Prophet Muhammad "Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a praiseworthy station" (17:79).
Omar's son said, "On the Day of Resurrection people will come kneeling. Each nation will follow their prophet asking, 'O so-and-so, intercede for us!' And this will continue until the intercession is given to Prophet Muhammad . It is on that Day that Allah will raise Prophet Muhammad to the Praiseworthy Station."
Omar's son said, "He (The Prophet) will advance, and with the circular handle, knock at the Gates of the Paradise. It is on that Day that Allah will grant him the promised Praiseworthy Station."
One day the Prophet spoke of a choice he had been given, and Abu Moses Al Ashari tells us he said, "I was given a choice of either having half of my nation enter Paradise, or being granted the intercession. I chose the intercession because it is more encompassing. Do you think that it is on behalf of those who fear Allah? Rather, it is for those who fall into error and sin."
Habibah’s mother heard Prophet Muhammad say, "I was shown by Allah what will happen to my nation after me. They will shed the blood of one another, and this also occurred in previous nations, and the same will happen to them. Because of this I asked Allah that on the Day of Resurrection He grants me permission to intercede on their behalf, and this He has done."
Hudhayfah informs us, "Allah will gather mankind altogether, after the Caller has called them on a high plain where they can hear and see the caller. They will be barefoot, and as naked as when they were created. All will be silent, no one will speak, except by the permission of Allah. There will be a call, 'Muhammad.' And he will reply, 'Obedient with happiness to You! Goodness is in Your Hands, evil is not (attributed) to You. The one You guide is guided, and Your worshiper is here in Your presence, Yours, to You. Except with You, there is no place of safety or refuge. You are the Blessed and Exalted. Glory be to You, the Lord of the House.'" Hudhayfah also said, "that is the Praiseworthy Station of which Allah has spoken."
