Sahih al-Bukhari 7516 (Book 97, Hadith 141) #7218
Seeking Intercession on the Day of Resurrection

SUMMARY: This hadith talks about how the believers will seek intercession from Adam on the Day of Resurrection, but he will refuse due to his mistake.

Narrated Anas: Allah's Messenger said, "The believers will be assembled on the Day of Resurrection and they will say, 'Let us look for someone to intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of ours'. So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are Adam, the father of mankind, and Allah created you with His Own Hands and ordered the Angels to prostrate before you, and He taught you the names of all things; so please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us'. Adam will say, to them, 'I am not fit for that,' and then he will mention to them his mistake which he has committed'. "
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ يُجْمَعُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوِ اسْتَشْفَعْنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا، فَيُرِيحُنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا هَذَا‏.‏ فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ أَنْتَ آدَمُ أَبُو الْبَشَرِ خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ وَعَلَّمَكَ أَسْمَاءَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ، فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا حَتَّى يُرِيحَنَا‏.‏ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ‏.‏ فَيَذْكُرُ لَهُمْ خَطِيئَتَهُ الَّتِي أَصَابَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how believers will be gathered together on the Day of Resurrection and they will look for someone to intercede for them with Allah so that He may relieve them from their current situation. They decide to go to Adam, as he is the father of mankind and was created by Allah with His own hands, and taught him all names. However, Adam refuses as he remembers his mistake which he has committed. This hadith teaches us that we should not rely too much on others when it comes to seeking help from Allah; rather we should turn directly towards Him in prayer and supplication. We must also remember our mistakes so that we can learn from them and strive not to repeat them in future. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that no one is perfect; even those who are closest to Allah have made mistakes in their lives which they regret.
