Is It Permissible for a Person to Ask His Friends to Intercede for Him in Paradise?

Question
If some righteous people were discussing Paradise, and one of them said to his companions: “If you enter Paradise and do not find me, then ask about me and intercede for me,” is it permissible to say this?
Answer

 

Praise be to Allah, and may blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:

This statement is idle talk that serves no useful purpose, because it is based on imagining the circumstances of the Day of Judgment, which are matters of the unseen and cannot be compared to the circumstances of this worldly life.

We do not know that everyone who enters Paradise will see all of his friends or relatives, nor is it correct to definitively affirm that this will happen or to deny it. These details have not been established by any evidence, and their knowledge belongs to Allah تعالى.

Therefore, it is more appropriate for a Muslim to occupy himself with what benefits him in terms of faith and righteous deeds, and not rely on assumptions or hopes for which there is no evidence.

And Allah تعالى knows best.
