حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ دَعَا بِهَا فِي أُمَّتِهِ فَاسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ أُؤَخِّرَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Ubaydullah ibn Mu‘adh al-‘Anbari narrated to us: my father narrated to us: Shu‘ba narrated to us, from Muhammad—meaning Ibn Ziyad—who said: I heard Abu Hurayra say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Every prophet made a supplication for his community, and it was answered. If Allah wills, I intend to defer my supplication and reserve it as an intercession for my community on the Day of Resurrection.”

Translation notes

  • The source describes the prayer as deferred and reserved for intercession.
