أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ لُوَيْنٌ بِالْمَصِّيْصَةِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ وَالنُّعْمَانُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ کُنْتُ جَالِسًا إِلَی أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ فَحَدَّثَ أَحَدُهُمَا حَدِيثَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَالْآخَرُ مُنْصِتٌ قَالَ فَتَأْتِي الْمَلَائِکَةُ فَتَشْفَعُ وَتَشْفَعُ الرُّسُلُ وَذَکَرَ الصِّرَاطَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَکُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يُجِيزُ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ الْقَضَائِ بَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ وَأَخْرَجَ مِنْ النَّارِ مَنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ الْمَلَائِکَةَ وَالرُّسُلَ أَنْ تَشْفَعَ فَيُعْرَفُونَ بِعَلَامَاتِهِمْ إِنَّ النَّارَ تَأْکُلُ کُلَّ شَيْئٍ مِنْ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ السُّجُودِ فَيُصَبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ مَائِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ کَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحِبَّةُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1145
It was narrated that ‘Ata’ bin Yazid said: “I was sitting with Abu Hurairah and Abu Saeed. One of them narrated the Hadith about intercession and the other was listening. He said: ‘Then the angels will come and intercede, and the messengers will intercede.’ And he mentioned the Sirat, and said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘I will be the first one to cross it, and when Allah has finished passing judgment among His creation, and has brought forth from the Fire those whom He wants to bring forth, Allah will command the angels and the messengers to intercede, and they will be recognized by their signs, for the Fire will consume all of the son of Adam apart from the place of prostration. Then the water of life will be poured on them, and they will grow like seeds on the banks of a rainwater stream.” (Sahih)
