Then they will come to me and I will say, 'This I will do.' I will go, and ask the permission from my Lord, and He will grant me that permission. Then, when I see Him, I will fall prostrate before my Lord, (under the Throne). In another rendering, 'I will stand before Him, and praise Him with such praising that I could never aspire too, except through the inspiration of Allah.' Also, 'Allah will reveal His praises to me, such excellent praising that has never been granted to anyone before me.'

In addition Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said, "Then it will be said, 'O Muhammad, raise your head, and supplicate, you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' Thereupon I will raise my head, and supplicate. 'My nation, O Lord, my nation. O Lord, my nation, O Lord.' And Allah will say, 'O Muhammad, take through the Gate on the right, and those of your nation who are not subject to the reckoning; they will share with other people through the various Gates.'"

The preceding rendering is not mentioned by Anas who says that the Prophet said, "Then I will fall down prostrate and be told, 'Muhammad, raise your head. Speak and you will be heard. Intercede and it will be granted. Ask and you will be given!' And I will say: O Lord, my nation, my nation! And it will be said, 'Go and bring forth whosoever has even as little as a grain of barley of belief' and this I will do. Then I will return to my Lord and praise Him with His praising and Allah will tell me to go and bring whosoever has even the smallest weight of a mustard-seed of belief, and this I will do.

Then I will be told, 'Raise your head, speak and you will be heard, intercede and it will be granted, ask and you will be given!' And I will say, 'O Lord, give me permission for whosoever says: There is no god except Allah. And Allah will say: That is not for you, but by My Might, My Pride, My Immensity and My Greatness, I will bring out of the Fire those who say: There is no god except Allah." Katada said that the Prophet will say, 'O Lord, let only those who are barred by the Koran remain (which means in Hell forever).'"

Hudhayfah narrates, "They will go to Muhammad, and he will intercede. The Bridge will be established. The first of them will pass over like lightening, the next like the wind, the next like a bird, and the next like the speed of a camel, while our Prophet is on the Bridge supplicating, 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety!' For as long as it takes for all mankind to cross."

Abu Hurayrah heard the Prophet say, "I will be the first to pass over."

To summarize these quotations, the intercession of our Beloved
