Question:
He says, may Allah keep you safe: Is the cause of intercession on the Day of Resurrection that the one in need requests it from the intercessor, or does the intercessor intercede for those in need without them requesting it?
Answer:
There is no evidence that it is restricted to a request. This is a general matter. He may intercede initially, or he may be asked to do so, or Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, may command him to do so as an honor for him.
