It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Allah, the Most High, will gather the people on the Day of Resurrection and they will be worried about that"' - (one of the narrators) Ibn 'Ubaid said: "They will be inspired concerning that" - "'and they will say: "Why don't we seek intercession with our Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, so that we might be relieved of our predicament?" They will go to Adam - and will say: 'You are Adam, the father of mankind. Allah created you with His Own Hand and breathed into you a spirit from Him, and He commanded the angels to prostrate to you. Intercede for us with our Lord so that we might be relieved of the predicament we are in.' He will say: 'I am not capable of that.' He will mention the mistake that he made, and he will feel shy before his Lord because of it. ' But go to Nuh, the first Messenger whom Allah, the Most High, sent.' So they will go to Nuh, and he will say: 'I am not capable of that.' And he will mention the mistake that he made, and he will feel shy before his Lord because of it. 'But go to Ibrahim, whom Allah took as Khalil (a close friend) ." "So they will go to Ibrahim, and he will say: 'I am not capable of that.' And he will mention the mistake that he made, and he will feel shy before his Lord because of it. 'But go to Musa to whom Allah spoke and gave the Tawrah.' So they will go to Musa, and he will say: 'I am not capable of that.' And he will mention the mistake that he made, and he will feel shy before his Lord because of it. 'But go to 'Eisa, a spirit from Allah and His Word.' So they will go to 'Eisa, a spirit from Allah and His Word, and he will say, 'I am not capable of that, but go to Muhammad, a slave whose past and future sins were forgiven."' An as bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'So they will come to me, and I will ask for permission to speak to my Lord, the Most High, and permission will be given to me. When I see Him, I will fall down in prostration and He will leave me (in that state of prostration) for as long as Allah wills. Then it will be said: 'O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted.' So I will raise my head and will praise my Lord, the Most High, with words of praise that my Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, will teach me. Then I will intercede, and a limit will be set for me. I will bring them out of the Fire and admit them to Paradise. Then I will go back and fall prostrate, and He will leave me (in that state of prostration) for as long as Allah wills. Then it will be said: 'O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted.' So I will raise my head and will praise my Lord with words of praise that my Lord will teach me. Then I will intercede, and a limit will be set for me. I will bring them out of Hell and admit them to Paradise.'" - Anas bin Malik said: "I do not know whether it was the third time or the fourth time" - "Then I will say: 'O Lord, there is no one left in the Fire but those who have been detained by the Qur'an,"' that is, those who are bound to abide therein forever. Ibn 'Ubaid said in his narration: "Qatadah said: 'That is, those who are bound to abide therein forever."'
