Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Whenever a needy person would come to the Prophet ﷺ, he would turn to those who were present and say, "If you make intercession for him, you will be rewarded, because Allah decreed what He likes by the tongue of His Messenger".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
وعن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه قال: كان النبي ﷺ إذا أتاه طالب حاجة أقبل على جلسائه فقال: :اشفعوا تؤجروا ويقضي الله على لسان نبيه ما أحب" ((متفق عليه)). (16)

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah bepleased with them), reported in connection with the case of Barirah (May Allah bepleased with her) and her husband:
The Prophet ﷺ said to her, "It is better for you to go back to your husband." She asked: "O Messenger of Allah, do you order me to do so." He replied, "I only intercede" She then said: "I have no need for him".
[Al-Bukhari].
