English Translation
Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Azdi narrated to us with a strange report: Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Al-Nadr ibn Shumayl narrated to us: Abu Na'amah al-'Adawi narrated to us: Abu Hunaydah al-Bara' ibn Nawfal narrated to us, from Walan al-'Adawi, from Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rose in the morning, prayed the morning prayer, then sat until it was mid-morning. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and sat in his place until he prayed the noon, afternoon, sunset, and evening prayers, all of this without speaking, until he prayed the last evening prayer. Then he stood up to go to his family. The people said to Abu Bakr: Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what is the matter with him? He did something today he has never done before. So he asked him, and he said: 'Yes, what will happen in this world and the Hereafter was shown to me. The first and the last were gathered on one plain until they went to Adam, peace be upon him, and the sweat was almost drowning them. They said: O Adam, you are the father of mankind. Allah chose you. Intercede for us with your Lord. He said: I have met the same as you have met. Go to your father after your father, to Noah: {Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran over the worlds.} So they will go to Noah and say: Intercede for us with your Lord, for Allah chose you and answered your supplication, and you did not leave on earth any disbeliever residing. He will say: That is not with me. Go to Abraham, for Allah took him as a friend. They will come to Abraham, and he will say: That is not with me. Go to Moses, for Allah spoke to him directly. Moses will say: That is not with me, but go to Jesus son of Mary, for he heals the blind and the leper and raises the dead. Jesus will say: That is not with me, but go to the master of the children of Adam, for he is the first for whom the earth will split open on the Day of Resurrection. Go to Muhammad so he may intercede for you with your Lord...'
