A Reflection upon Transmitted Parts of Muhammad Abdoh's Theory concerning Otherworldly Intercession Based on Reports Made in sahih of Bukhari

Intercession has been always of a certain sense in mentality of Muslim scholars in spite of differences between their schools and theological inclinations, and in this sense, there has been no obstacle to it in the otherworld. In the 14th Century (AH), in scientific society of the Egyptian Sunnis, Muhammad Abdoh said that intercession in the above sense cannot be realized in the otherworld, and Hadiths concerning intercession are ambiguous. He introduces a new sense for the intercession in the otherworld which is useful only for one who makes intercession. This new interpretation has been followed by some critiques made by some Muslim scholars. Since the above critiques concern the “impossibility” intended by Abdoh and no discussion has been made concerning ambiguity of Hadiths and his point that intercession is useful only for one who makes intercession, these two claims are, here, criticized on the basis of Hadiths in Sahih of Bukhari as the most authentic Sunni resource of Hadiths and conflict between Abdoh’s view and Hadiths in the above book will be shown.
