Question
Is this Hadith authentic?
لكل نبي دعوة فأريد إن شاء الله أن أختبي دعوتي شفاعة لأمتي يوم القيامة
Answer
Imams Bukhari and Muslim (rahimahumallah) have recorded this Hadith. It is therefore authentic.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Every Nabi had an [accepted] du’a. I wish -if Allah wills- to reserve mine to intercede for my Ummah on the day of Qiyamah.”
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 7474, Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 198. Also see: Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6304-6305 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 199-200)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
