حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" يُجْمَعُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوِ اسْتَشْفَعْنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا، فَيُرِيحُنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا هَذَا. فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ أَنْتَ آدَمُ أَبُو الْبَشَرِ خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ وَعَلَّمَكَ أَسْمَاءَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ، فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا حَتَّى يُرِيحَنَا. فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ. فَيَذْكُرُ لَهُمْ خَطِيئَتَهُ الَّتِي أَصَابَ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The believers will be assembled on the Day of Resurrection and they will say,
'Let us look for someone to intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are Adam, the father of mankind, and Allah created you
with His Own Hands and ordered the Angels to prostrate before you, and He taught you the names of
all things; so please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us.' Adam will say, to them,
'I am not fit for that,' and then he will mention to them his mistake which he has committed.' "

And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, "Indeed, Allah had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with Allah] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment."
