أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّي فَخَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ نِصْفَ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ وَهِيَ لِمَنْ مَاتَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا

atānī ātin min ʿindi rabbī fakhayyaranī bayna an yudkhila niṣfa ummatī al-jannaha wabayna ash-shafāʿah fākhtartu ash-shafāʿaha wahiya liman māta lā yushriku billāh shayʾan

The full narration

Abu Al-Malih narrated from 'Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja'i who said:"The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said 'Someone came to me from my Lord to give me choice between the half of my Ummah being admitted into Paradise or intercession. So I chose the intercession, and it is for whoever dies and he did not associate anything with Allah."' Another chain reports a similar narration
