God says
… Who is there that could intercede with Him unless it be by His leave?... Q.2:255
… and Thou Sustainer may well raise thee [O Muhammad] to a glorious station
[in the life to come]. -- Q.17:79
Prophet said
“For every prophet there was an acceptable invocation, and every prophet hastened to make it. I have kept mine reserved for the Resurrection Day to be used as an intercession for my people. If God wills, it will be accepted for every follower who died without setting up anything with God.” – H: Muslim. N: Abu Hurairah.
In a fairly lengthy Tradition quoted by Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Anas it is mentioned that when the believers will be detained on the Resurrection Day they will become restive and in order to have peace of mind during detention they will approach Adam to intercede. He will send them to Noah, he to Abraham, he to Moses and he to Jesus. Then Jesus will direct them to the Prophet who will intercede.
Anas narrated that the Prophet then recited the verse 17:79 and said: “This is the glorious station promised to your Prophet.”
