“He has no power to give them anything” means that he has no power to give anything without Allah. As for intercession, Allah enabled him to do so. Intercession belongs to Allah, and He enabled His Messenger to do it, and He enabled others among the intercessors to do it. So when Allah enables him, he possesses it.
