حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي مَلِيحٍ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ: عَرَّسَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَافْتَرَشَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ذِرَاعَ رَاحِلَتِهِ، قَالَ: فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْإِبِلِ، فَإِذَا نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ قُدَّامَهَا أَحَدٌ قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَائِمَانِ، قُلْتُ: أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ قَالَا: مَا نَدْرِي غَيْرَ أَنَّا سَمِعْنَا صَوْتًا بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي، فَإِذَا مِثْلُ هَزِيزِ الرَّحْلِ قَالَ: امْكُثُوا يَسِيرًا، ثُمَّ جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي، فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ، وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ، فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ " فَقُلْنَا: نَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ، وَالصُّحْبَةَ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ قَالَ: " فَإِنَّكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِي " قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلْنَا مَعَانِيقَ إِلَى النَّاسِ، فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ فَزِعُوا، وَفَقَدُوا نَبِيَّهُمْ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ مِنْ رَبِّي آتٍ، فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ، وَإِنِّي اخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ ". قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ وَالصُّحْبَةَ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَضَبُّوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: " فَأَنَا أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنَّ شَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) would camp at any place, his Muhajir companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would be close to him. Once, we camped at a place and the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) stood up for the night prayer while we were sleeping around. Suddenly, I woke up at night and did not find the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in his sleeping place. I went out in search of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and saw Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). I reached them and asked about the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Suddenly, we heard a sound like that of a grinding mill and stopped in our tracks. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was coming from the direction of that sound. When he came near, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "What happened to you?" We replied, "When we woke up and did not find you in your place, we feared that some harm might have come to you, so we set out to search for you." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the choice between two things: that half of my Ummah would enter Paradise or that I would be granted the right of intercession. So I preferred the aspect of intercession." We both said, "O Messenger of Allah! We ask you, by Islam and the right of your companionship, to pray to Allah that He includes us in your intercession." Others also came and began to make the same request, and their number increased. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Every person who dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah will be included in my intercession."
