عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ ، قَالَ يَجْتَمِعُ المُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُونَ : لَوِ اسْتَشْفَعْنَا إلى رَبِّنَا ، فَيَأْتُونَ ادَمَ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : أَنْتَ أَبو النَّاسِ ، خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ ، وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلائِكَتَهُ ، وَعَلَّمَكَ أَسْماءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ، فاشْفَعْ لَنا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ، حَتَّى يُرِيحَنا مِنْ مَكَانِنا هَذا ، فَيَقُولُ : لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ ـ وَيَذْكُرُ ذَنْبَهُ ، فَيَسْتَحْيي ـ ائْتُوا نُوحاً ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ رَسُولٍ بَعَثَهُ اللهُ إِلي أَهْلِ الأَرْض ، فَيَأْتُونَهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ ـ ويَذْكُرُ سُؤالَهُ رَبَّهُ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ بِهِ عِلْمٌ ، فَيَسْتَحْيي ـ فَيَقُولُ : اؤْتُوا خَلِيلَ الرَّحْمنِ ، فَيَأْتُونَهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَسْتُ هُنَاكُم ، اؤْتُوا موسى ، عَبْداً كَلَّمَهُ اللهُ ، و أَعْطَاهُ التَّوْرَاةَ . فَيَأْتُونَهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ ـ وَيَذْكُرُ قَتْلَ النَّفْسِ بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ ، فَيَسْتَحْيي مِنْ رَبِّهِ ـ فَيَقُولُ : اؤْتُوا عِيسَى ، عَبْدَ اللهِ وَرَسُولَهُ ، وَكَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَرُوحَهُ . فَيَأْتُونَهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ ، اؤْتُوا مُحَمَّداً ، ـ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ ـ عَبْداً غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ ، فَيَأْتُونَنِي ، فَأَنْطَلِقُ حَتَّي أَسْتَأْذِنَ عَلَي رَبِّي فَيُؤْذَنُ . فإذا رَأَيْتُ رَبِّي وَقَعْتُ سَاجداً ، فَيَدَعُني مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ، ثُمَّ يُقَالُ : ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ ، وسَلْ تُعْطَهُ ، وَقُلْ يُسْمَعْ ، واشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ . فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسي ، فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتَحْمِيدٍ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ ، ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ ، فَيحُدُّ لي حَدّاً ، فَأُدْخِلُهُمْ الجَنَّةَ . ثُمَّ أَعُودُ إِلَيْهِ ، فإِذا رَأَيْتُ رَبِّي ( فَأَقَعُ ساجداً ) مِثْلَهُ ، ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدّاً ، فَأُدْخِلُهُمُ الجَنَّةَ . ثُمَّ أَعُودُ الثالِثةَ ، ثُمَّ أَعُودُ الرَّابعة ، فَأقُولُ : مَا بَقِي في النَّارِ إِلَّا مَنْ حَبَسَهُ القُرْانُ ، ووَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الخُلُودُ رواه البخاري ( وكذلك مسلم والترمذي وابن ماجه ) و في رواية أخرى للبخاري زيادة هي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ ، يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ : لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنَ الخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ شَعِيرةً ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ : لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنَ الخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ بُرَّةً ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ : لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وكَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مَا يَزِنُ مِنَ الخَيْرِ ذَرَّةً

On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, who said: On the Day of Resurrection, the believers will gather and say, ‘If only we could seek intercession with our Lord.’ They will go to Adam and say, ‘You are the father of humankind. Allah created you with His hand, caused His angels to prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things. Intercede for us with your Lord, so that He may relieve us of this place.’ He will say, ‘I am not the one for this,’ and mention his sin, feeling ashamed. ‘Go to Noah, for he was the first messenger Allah sent to the people of the earth.’ They will go to him, and he will say, ‘I am not the one for this,’ and mention his asking his Lord about something of which he had no knowledge, feeling ashamed. He will say, ‘Go to the Intimate Friend of the Merciful.’ They will go to him, and he will say, ‘I am not the one for this. Go to Moses, a servant whom Allah spoke to and to whom He gave the Torah.’ They will go to him, and he will say, ‘I am not the one for this,’ and mention taking a life in return for no life, feeling ashamed before his Lord. He will say, ‘Go to Jesus, Allah’s servant and messenger, His word and spirit.’ They will go to him, and he will say, ‘I am not the one for this. Go to Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him, a servant whose past and future wrongdoing Allah has forgiven.’ They will come to me, and I will set out to ask my Lord for permission; it will be granted. When I see my Lord, I will fall prostrate. He will leave me as long as Allah wills. Then it will be said, ‘Raise your head; ask, and you will be given; speak, and you will be heard; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.’ I will raise my head and praise Him with praise He will teach me. Then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise. Then I will return to Him, and when I see my Lord, I will fall prostrate as before. Then I will intercede, and He will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise. Then I will return a third time, then a fourth, and say, ‘None remains in the Fire except those whom the Qur’an has confined and for whom abiding therein has become due.’
It was related by al-Bukhari (and also by Muslim, al-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah). In another version related by al-Bukhari, there is this addition:
The Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, said: ‘There will come out of the Fire whoever said, “There is no god but Allah,” and had in his heart goodness weighing a barley grain. Then there will come out of the Fire whoever said, “There is no god but Allah,” and had in his heart goodness weighing a wheat grain. Then there will come out of the Fire whoever said, “There is no god but Allah,” and had in his heart goodness weighing an atom.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
اؤْتُوا موسى ،
The source uses a damaged/irregular spelling and spacing for the imperative to go to Moses; the meaning is clear from the wording and immediate context.
Should the source text be corrected or annotated in a later editorial pass?
فَيَقُولُ : لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ ـ وَيَذْكُرُ قَتْلَ النَّفْسِ بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ ،
The phrase literally refers to killing a soul without a soul; the English witness inserts a Quran locator and gloss that are absent from this Arabic string.
Should a Quran cross-reference be added by an editor?
