Intercession on the Day of Resurrection

Jabir (RadhiAllahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "He who says upon hearing the Adhan:

`Allahumma Rabba hadhihid-da`wati-ttammati, was-salatil-qa'imati, ati Muhammadanil-wasilata wal-fadhilata, wab`athu maqaman mahmuda nilladhi wa `adtahu

[O Allah, Rubb of this perfect call (Da`wah) and of the established prayer (As-Salat), grant Muhammad the Wasilah and superiority, and raise him up to a praiseworthy position which You have promised him]',

it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection.''

[Al-Bukhari].

This Hadith tells us the merit of (the prayer by means of which one attains his should be recited in the manner narrated by `Abdullah bin `Amr, which says that one should first repeat the wording of Adhan, then recite the prayer asking to exalt the mention of the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and then pray Allah to grant him the Wasilah.
