Why does the Hadith of the Great Intercession begin with people's request for the reckoning to start on the Day of Resurrection, whereas the keluaran of monotheists from the Fire occurs after the reckoning, and the text does not mention that Allah commanded the reckoning to begin?

Summary of the Answer:

The answer mentions the Hadith of Intercession narrated by Ma'bad ibn Hilal al-Anazi from Anas ibn Malik, and the Hadith of Abu Hurayrah. It clarifies that on the Day of Resurrection, people will seek refuge with the prophets, starting with Adam, then Abraham, then Moses, then Jesus, and each of them will direct them to the next until they reach the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He will then say, "I am worthy of it," and prostrate to Allah and praise Him, after which he will be asked to intercede.

It points out that scholars found it problematic that the first intercession (for dispelling the distress of standing and hastening judgment) is not mentioned in some narrations, which directly transition to the intercession for the sinners of the Ummah. This is explained by the possibility that narrators abbreviate the hadith, either because the intercession for hastening the reckoning is understood from the context, or because they focused on the intercession for the sinful among the Ummah because it was a point of contention between the Sunnis and the innovators, especially the Khawarij and Mu'tazilah, who deny that monotheists will be released from Hell after entering it.

It emphasizes that this abbreviation exists in some narrations, and that other hadiths clarify the complete scene, explaining that intercession begins with saving people from the horror of the Standing and hastening the reckoning, followed by the Prophet's intercession for his Ummah and their sinful ones, and the intercession of other prophets and others.
