أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " اشْفَعُوا تُشَفَّعُوا وَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ مَا شَاءَ " .
Muhammad ibn Bashshar reported: Yahya narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us: Abu Burdah ibn Abd Allah ibn Abi Burdah informed me, from his grandfather Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: Intercede, and your intercession will be accepted; Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will decree through the tongue of His Prophet whatever He wills.
