وَعَنْ عثمان بن عَفَّان قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: . رَوَاهُ ابْن مَاجَه
" يُشَفَّعُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ: الْأَنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ الْعلمَاء ثمَّ الشُّهَدَاء "
`Uthman b. 'Affan reported God's messenger as saying, "Three groups will make intercession on the day of resurrection, the prophets, next the learned, next the martyrs." Ibn Majah transmitted it.
