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!

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 Prophet and his Praiseworthy Station stretches from the first intercession to the last. His intercession will alleviate mankind when they stand in wait for the final Reckoning with throats constricted, sweating profusely under the intense heat of the sun. When the Bridge is established, and mankind judged, the Prophet will hasten those who are not called to account through his intercession. Thereafter, he intercedes for those who are subject to be punished, and go to Hell, then he will intercede for all those who say, "There is no god except Allah", and this
