Hadith 5600

`Auf b. Malik reported God's messenger as saying, "One came to me from my Lord and gave me a choice between half of my people entering paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession. It will apply to those who have died and have associated nothing with God." Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

وَعَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ نِصْفَ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ وَهِيَ لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
