Forty Hadiths on the Intercession of the Prophet Muhammad on the Day of Resurrection

On the Day of Resurrection mankind will stand in the heat of the gathering and go from Prophet to Prophet seeking relief. Adam (a.s.) will decline. Nuk will decline. Ibrahim, Musa, and Isa (a.s.) will each answer with the same words: “My own self! My own self! Go to someone other than me.” The search ends at one door.

The forty Hadiths in this volume describe what happens next. He goes forward, falls in prostration beneath the Throne, and is told to raise his head, to ask, and to intercede.

One disposition emerges throughout. Offered the choice between two thirds of his Ummah entering Paradise without reckoning and the Intercession, he chose the Intercession, because it reaches further. Granted the single supplication answered for every Prophet, he withheld his and reserved it for the Day of Resurrection. He described that intercession as extending to the sullied and the wrongdoing among the sinners of his Ummah.

Every narration is referenced, the Arabic vocalised, and the English rendered in clear and readable prose.
