Sahih al-Bukhari 4718 (Book 65, Hadith 240) #4501
Intercession on the Day of Resurrection

SUMMARY: On the Day of Resurrection, people will seek intercession from their prophets and Allah will grant Prophet Muhammad the highest station of praise and glory.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: On the Day of Resurrection the people will fall on their knees and every nation will follow their prophet and they will say, "O so-and-so! Intercede (for us with Allah), "till (the right) intercession is given to the Prophet (Muhammad) and that will be the day when Allah will raise him into a station of praise and glory (ie Al-Maqam -al-Mahmud).
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ آدَمَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، رضى الله عنهما يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَصِيرُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ جُثًا، كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تَتْبَعُ نَبِيَّهَا، يَقُولُونَ يَا فُلاَنُ اشْفَعْ، حَتَّى تَنْتَهِيَ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ الْمَقَامَ الْمَحْمُودَ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Turn towards prophets for guidance, Strive towards righteousness .

EXPLANATIONS:
On the Day of Judgment, all people will fall to their knees in prayer and each nation will follow their prophet. They will ask them to intercede for them with Allah so that they can be forgiven. Eventually, this right to intercede is given to Prophet Muhammad who is then raised into a station of praise and glory by Allah. This hadith teaches us that we should always turn towards our prophets for guidance as they are closer to God than anyone else. We should also strive to be like Prophet Muhammad in order to receive such a high status from God on the day we are judged.
