It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik said: Muhammad PBUH told us:
“When the Day of Resurrection comes, the people will surge with each other like waves. They will come to Adam a.s and say, ‘Intercede for us with your Lord.’ He will say, ‘I am not fit for that. Go to Ibrahim a.s for he is the Close Friend of the Most Merciful.’ So they will go to Ibrahim a.s, but he will say, ‘I am not fit for that. Go to Musa a.s for he is the one to whom Allah spoke directly.’ So they will go to Musa a.s but he will say, ‘I am not fit for that. Go to ‘Isa a.s for he is a soul created by Allah and His Word.’ So they will go to ‘Isa a.s but he will say, ‘I am not fit for that. Go to Muhammad PBUH.’
So they will come to me and I will say, I am fit for that.’ Then I will ask my Lord for permission and He will give me permission, and He will inspire me with words of praise with which I will praise Him, words that I do not know now. So I will praise Him with those words of praise and I will fall down prostrate before Him.
He will say, ‘O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak and intercession will be granted to you, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah!’
He will say, ‘Go and bring forth everyone in whose heart there is faith the weight of a barley-grain.’ So I will go and do that. Then I will come back and praise Him with those words of praise and I will fall down prostrate before Him.
He will say, ‘O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak and intercession will be granted to you, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah!’
He will say, ‘Go and bring forth everyone in whose heart there is faith the weight of a small ant or a mustard-seed.’ So I will go and do that. Then I will come back and praise Him with those words of praise and I will fall down prostrate before Him.
He will say, ‘O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak and intercession will be granted to you, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah!’
He will say, ‘Go and bring forth from the Fire everyone in whose heart there is faith the weight of the lightest, lightest grain of mustard-seed.’ So I will go and bring them forth.”.... (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7510)
