حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ خُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ لأَنَّهَا أَعَمُّ وَأَكْفَى أَتُرَوْنَهَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهَا لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ الْخَطَّائِينَ الْمُتَلَوِّثِينَ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari

English translation
It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I was given the choice between being admitted to Paradise, and I chose intercession, because it is more general and more sufficient. Do you think it is for the pious? No, it is for the impure sinners.”
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ মূসা আল-আশআরী (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আমাকে শাফাআত করার অথবা আমার উম্মাতের অর্ধেক জান্নাতী হওয়ার মধ্যে যে কোন একটি গ্রহণ করার অবকাশ দেয়া হয়েছিলো। আমি শাফাআতকে গ্রহণ করেছি। কেননা তা ব্যাপক বিস্তৃত এবং অধিক ফলপ্রসূ। তোমরা কি মনে করো যে, শাফাআত মুত্তাকীদের জন্য? না, বরং তা গুনাহগার, অপরাধে অভিযুক্ত এবং সত্য-মিথ্যার মধ্যে মিশ্রণকারীদের জন্য।
