Hadith on Wasilah: Ask Allah to bring the Prophet near to Him

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Ask Allah to grant me the means of approach. Verily, a servant does not ask for it in the world but that I will be a witness for him or intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection.
