حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ يَدْعُوهَا فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-A‘la narrated to me: ‘Abdullah ibn Wahb informed us: Malik ibn Anas informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salama ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman, from Abu Hurayra, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Every prophet has a supplication that he makes. I wish to reserve my supplication as an intercession for my community on the Day of Resurrection.”

Translation notes
  • The report describes the Prophet’s special supplication as reserved for intercession on the Day of Resurrection.
