Sunan Ibn Majah 4323 (Book 37, Hadith 224) #33679
Intercession and Punishment in the Afterlife

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that some of his followers will be so righteous that they will intercede for many people to enter Paradise, while others will be so sinful that they will fill one corner of Hell.

'Abdullah bin Qais said: "I was with Abu Burdah one night, and Harith bin Uqaish entered upon us. Harith told us that night that the Messenger of Allah said: 'Among my nation are some by whose intercession more (than the members of the tribe of) Mudar will enter Paradise, and among my nation are some who will be made huge for the Fire until they fill one of its corners.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أُقَيْشٍ فَحَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ، لَيْلَتَئِذٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْ يَعْظُمُ لِلنَّارِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَحَدَ زَوَايَاهَا
