Book Name:Shan e Mustafa
2. It is stated in a Hadith of Bukhari and Muslim that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘If I did not consider it a burden upon my Ummah, I would command them with the Miswak alongside every Salah or at the time of every Salah.’[1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will open the door of intercession
According to a Hadith, the following attributes of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم were related in the Tawrat: The birthplace of my servant, Ahmad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, will be Makkah Mukarramah and his place of migration will be Madina Tayyibah, his nation will abundantly praise Allah Almighty in every state.[2] The station of the greatest intercession (Shafa’ah al Kubra) on the Day of Judgement is from the exclusivities of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, for as long as he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم does not open the door of intercession, nobody will be allowed to intercede. Rather, in reality, all those who will intercede, they will receive intercession from the court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Shafa’ah al-Kubra is for the believers, disbelievers, the obedient and the sinful alike. The people will be in a state of severe hardship whilst waiting for the accountability to begin, thinking, if only we are cast into Hell and saved from this waiting. The disbelievers will also attain deliverance from this difficulty through the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Upon which, the allies, enemies, believers and disbelievers from before and after will all praise the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and this is known as ‘Maqaam-e-Mahmood.’[3]
