As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Prophetic (PBUH) Commentary on the Qur'an - 9th Rabi al-Awwal 1432 (12th
February 2011)
Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
Some (cooked) meat was brought to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) and the meat of a forearm was presented to him as he used to like
it. He ate a morsel of it and said, "I will be the chief of all the people
on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know the reason for it? Allah will
gather all the human beings of early generations as well as late
generations on one plain so that the announcer will be able to make them
all hear his voice and the watcher will be able to see all of them. The sun
will come so close to the people that they will suffer such distress and
trouble as they will not be able to bear or stand. Then the people will
say, 'Don't you see to what state you have reached? Won't you look for
someone who can intercede for you with your Lord.' Some people will say to
some others, 'Go to Adam.'
So they will go to Adam and say to him, 'You are the father of mankind;
Allah created you with His Own Hand, and breathed into you of His Spirit
(meaning the spirit which he created for you); and ordered the angels to
prostrate before you; so (please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don't
you see in what state we are? Don't you see what condition we have
reached?' Adam will say, 'Today my Lord has become angry as He has never
become before, nor will ever become thereafter. He forbade me (to eat of
the fruit of) the tree, but I disobeyed Him. Myself! Myself! Myself! (has
more need for intercession). Go to someone else; go to Noah.'
So they will go to Noah and say (to him), 'O Noah! You are the first (of
Allah's Messengers) to the people of the Earth, and Allah has named you a
thankful slave; please intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in
what state we are?' He will say.' Today my Lord has become angry as He has
never become nor will ever become thereafter. I had (in the world) the
right to make one definitely accepted invocation, and I made it against my
nation. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Abraham.'
They will go to Abraham and say, 'O Abraham! You are Allah's Apostle and
His Khalil from among the people of the Earth; so please intercede for us
with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?' He will say to them,
'My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before, nor will
ever become thereafter. I had told three lies (Abu Haiyan (the
sub-narrator) mentioned them in the Hadith) Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to
someone else; go to Moses.'
The people will then go to Moses and say, 'O Moses! You art Allah's Apostle
and Allah gave you superiority above the others with this message and with
His direct Talk to you; (please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you
see in what state we are?' Moses will say, 'My Lord has today become angry
as He has never become before, nor will become thereafter, I killed a
person whom I had not been ordered to kill. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to
someone else; go to Jesus.'
So they will go to Jesus and say, 'O Jesus! You are Allah's Apostle and His
Word which He sent to Mary, and a superior soul created by Him, and you
talked to the people while still young in the cradle. Please intercede for
us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?' Jesus will say. 'My
Lord has today become angry as He has never become before nor will ever
become thereafter.' Jesus will not mention any sin, but will say, 'Myself!
Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Muhammad.'
So they will come to me and say, 'O Muhammad! You are Allah's Apostle and
the last of the Prophets, and Allah forgave your early and late sins.
(Please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see in what state we
are?' The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) added, "Then I will go
beneath Allah's Throne and fall in prostration before my Lord. And then
Allah will guide me to such praises and glorification to Him as He has
never guided anybody else before me. Then it will be said, 'O Muhammad
Raise your head. Ask, and it will be granted. Intercede and it (your
intercession) will be accepted.' So I will raise my head and Say, 'My
followers, O my Lord! My followers, O my Lord'. It will be said, 'O
Muhammad! Let those of your followers who are not to be brought to account
enter through such a gate of the gates of Paradise as lies on the right;
and the other gates will be shared with the remaining people." The Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) further said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul
is, the distance between every two gate-posts of Paradise is like the
distance between Makkah and Busra (in Sham)."
