حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ نِصْفَ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ وَهِيَ لِمَنْ مَاتَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said 'Someone came to me from my Lord to give me choice between the half of my Ummah being admitted into Paradise or intercession. So I chose the intercession, and it is for whoever dies and he did not associate anything with Allah."' Another chain reports a similar narration.

  • وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ

    machine translationIt has also been narrated from Abū al-Malīḥ, from another man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, from the Prophet ﷺ, without mentioning "from ʿAwf b. Mālik." There is a long story in the hadith. Qutaybah narrated to us: Abū ʿAwānah narrated to us, from Qatādah, from Abū al-Malīḥ, from ʿAwf b. Mālik, from the Prophet ﷺ, similar to it.
