Summary
According to the hadith narrated by Muslim from Abu Hurairah RA, the Prophet SAW is the first to be raised from the grave, and also the first to intercede and the first whose intercession is accepted. Imam al-Nawawi explained that the hadith shows his superiority over other creatures, since in the Ahl al-Sunnah view the children of Adam are more honoured than angels and he is the most honoured among them. This distinction is linked to his status as the noblest of creation, entitled to intercede for his community.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Aku adalah orang yang pertama akan dibangkitkan daripada kubur.
