What is the evidence that the one who abandons prayer has no one to intercede for him and that he is eternally in the Fire?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Can we infer from the saying of Allah the Exalted,
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ
[Al-Muddaththir 74:48]
, that the one who abandons prayer has no one to intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection, and that he will be eternally in the Fire of Hell?

Answer:
This is the case of the one who abandons prayer intentionally; he is a disbeliever in major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is eternally in the Fire, and intercession does not benefit him because he is a disbeliever. So what benefit will the intercession of those who intercede have for them? The pronoun "them" is plural; to whom does it refer? To all these descriptions, the first of which is "We were not among those who prayed." Yes, the wording is clear. Yes.
