وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَسِيدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الثَّقَفِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لِكَعْبِ الأَحْبَارِ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ يَدْعُوهَا فَأَنَا أُرِيدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " . فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ لأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ نَعَمْ .
Harmala ibn Yahya narrated to me: Ibn Wahb informed us: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, that ‘Amr ibn Abi Sufyan ibn Asid ibn Jariya al-Thaqafi told him that Abu Hurayra said to Ka‘b al-Ahbar: The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Every prophet has a supplication that he makes. If Allah wills, I intend to reserve my supplication as an intercession for my community on the Day of Resurrection.” Ka‘b said to Abu Hurayra, “Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?” Abu Hurayra said, “Yes.”
Translation notes
This wording frames the report as Abu Hurayra’s statement to Ka‘b al-Ahbar and includes Ka‘b’s verification question.
