The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will be the first person to intercede in Paradise, and I will have the largest following among the prophets."In another narration, "I will have the largest following among the prophets on the Day of Resurrection, and I will be the first to knock at the gate of Paradise."In another narration, "I will be the first intercessor in Paradise. No prophet among the prophets was believed as I have been believed, and indeed there is among the prophets one whose entire community produced not a single believer except one man."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: أنا أول الناس يشفع في الجنة، وأنا أكثر الأنبياء تبعا. وفي رواية: أنا أكثر الأنبياء تبعا يوم القيامة، وأنا أول من يقرع باب الجنة. وفي رواية: أنا أول شفيع في الجنة، لم يصدق نبي من الأنبياء ما صدقت، وإن من الأنبياء نبيا ما يصدقه من أمته إلا رجل واحد.
Muslim reported it in the Book of Faith (196), from Qutayba bin Saeed, who said, Jareer narrated to us, from Mukhtar bin Fulful, from Anas, and he related it. The second narration was reported through another route from Sufyan, from Mukhtar, with his chain. The third narration was reported through another route from Zaida, from Mukhtar, with his chain.As for what Darimi (49) and Khallal in Sunnah (235) reported from the hadith of Saeed bin Sulayman, from Mansur bin Abu Aswad, from Layth, from Rabi bin Anas, from Anas, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am the first of them to come forth, I am their leader when they arrive, I am their speaker when they fall silent, I am their intercessor when they are held back, I am their bearer of good news when they despair. The honor and the keys on that day are in my hand, and I am the most honored of the children of Adam before my Lord. A thousand servants circle around me, as though they were sheltered eggs or scattered pearls."In this narration is Layth bin Abu Salim, who was truthful but became confused later in life, and his hadith could not be distinguished, so it was set aside.Tirmidhi (3610) reported it through another route from Layth, with the same chain, in shortened form, and he said, "Hasan gharib."
