أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
عَرَّسَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَافْتَرَشَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ذِرَاعَ رَاحِلَتِهِ قَالَ فَانْتَبَهْتُ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ قُدَّامَهَا أَحَدٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَائِمَانِ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَا لَا نَدْرِي غَيْرَ أَنَّا سَمِعْنَا صَوْتًا بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي فَإِذَا مِثْلُ هَدِيرِ الرَّحَى قَالَ فَلَبِثْنَا يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي مِنْ رَبِّي آتٍ فَيُخَيِّرُنِي بِأَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ وَالصُّحْبَةِ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ؟ قَالَ «فَأَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِي» قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَكِبُوا قَالَ «فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُ مَنْ حَضَرَ أَنَّ شَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a halt with us one night, and each man among us spread out the foreleg of his mount. He said: I woke up during part of the night, and the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had no one in front of it. I set off looking for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and found Mu'adh b. Jabal and 'Abd Allah b. Qays standing. I said, "Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" They said, "We do not know, except that we heard a sound at the top of the valley like the rumbling of a mill." He said: We waited a short while, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and said, "A messenger came to me from my Lord and gave me the choice between half of my nation entering Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we adjure you by Allah and by companionship to make us among the people of your intercession." He said, "You are among the people of my intercession." When they mounted, he said, "I call to witness those present that my intercession is for whoever dies not associating anything with Allah from my nation."
