(44) باب اسْتِحْبَابِ الشَّفَاعَةِ فِيمَا لَيْسَ بِحَرَامٍ
Abu Musa reported that when any needy (person) came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with a need he commanded him to his Companions, saying:
Make a recommendation for him, and you would get the reward. Allah, however, gives the verdict through the tongue of His Apostle what He likes most. (JA)
