Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ وَأَرَدْتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Zuhayr ibn Harb and ‘Abd ibn Humayd narrated to me. Zuhayr said: Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Ibn Shihab’s nephew narrated to us, from his uncle, who informed me: Abu Salama ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman informed me that Abu Hurayra said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Every prophet has a supplication. If Allah wills, I intend to reserve my supplication as an intercession for my community on the Day of Resurrection.”

Translation notes
  • This wording adds ‘if Allah wills’ and presents the intention to reserve the supplication.
