Therefore...

Therefore, on the Day of Resurrection, no one

among all the nations will be more eminent than Muhammad (S); and

this is (the meaning of) the words of Allah: `May be your Lord will raise

you to a praised position. "(Al Ayyashi)

believer would have the right of intercession. He said: Yes.' Then

someone said: `Will even a believer need the intercession of

Muhammad (S) on that day?' He said: Yes, the believers too will come

with wrongs and sins; and there will be none but shall need the

intercession of Muhammad on that day."' (Ubayd) said: 'And someone

asked him about the words of the Messenger of Allah: `I am the Chief

and our Shiites have (authority of) intercession for their families.' Then

he said: And surely a believer shall intercede for (very large numbers
