The Condition of Allah's Pleasure with the One Who Intercedes in Intercession

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. He says: Some scholars have added a third condition to the conditions of intercession, which is that He, Glorified and Exalted, is also pleased with the intercessor. Is there evidence for this condition?

Answer:
We have not heard this. What is in the Qur'an is what you have heard:
Who is it that can intercede with Him exceptمَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا
[Al-Baqarah 2:255]
by it
and they cannot intercede except on behalf ofوَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ
[Al-Anbya 21:28]
the prophets
except [only] after Allah has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves.إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَرْضَىٰ
[An-Najm 53:26]
take their stand. This is what is in the Qur'an, so any answer that adds something from one's own opinion is rejected. Yes.
