حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا خَيَّرَنِي رَبِّيَ اللَّيْلَةَ؟ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّهُ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ،‏‏‏‏ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هِيَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Do you know what choice my Lord gave me on this night?’ We said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘He gave me the choice between admitting half of my nation to Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, pray that we will be among its people (the people for whom you will intercede).’ He said: ‘It is for every Muslim.’”
