[3] ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ...
[3] ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى شَفَاعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ Then he -asws (Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws ) said: ‘There is no one from the former ones and the latter ones except he would be needy to the intercession of Muhammad -saww on the Day of Judgement’. (An extract – Ahadith in the latter section).
📌[4] (Note: once a believer is interceded for, he will intercede for others, see the note below) [5] The following Hadith, clarifies why we would be needy of the intercession on the Day of Judgement, as most of our deeds are not accepted due to the deficiencies.
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ لَوْ كُشِفَ الْغِطَاءُ عَنِ النَّاسِ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَى وَصْلِ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَ بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ خَضَعَتْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ رِقَابُهُمْ وَ تَسَهَّلَتْ لَهُ أُمُورُهُمْ وَ لَانَتْ طَاعَتُهُمْ وَ لَوْ نَظَرُوا إِلَى مَرْدُودِ الْأَعْمَالِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ لَقَالُوا مَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ عَمَلًا.
From him, from his father, from Ibn Fazaal, from Muhammad, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly, said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘If only the covering would be uncovered from the people, they would (be able to) look at what transpires between Allah -azwj and the Believer. The necks of the Believers Fastened, and their affairs being Caused to be easy, and their obedience Made to be known.
And if the people were to look at the repelling of the deeds from the sky they would be saying, ‘Allah -azwj does not Accept the deeds from anyone’ .
