Explaining the Meaning of Allah’s Intercession for Himself
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh. We are forbidden from intercession because asking for others is better for them, so asking for others would be injustice toward someone higher than them. So how is the intercession of the one free from sin? The hadith says: The angels interceded until it was said, and the intercession of the Most Merciful of the merciful remained.
The Shaykh:
He interceded for Himself, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The questioner:
Say: O Allah, send down upon us intercession with our eyes that we may support you against the transgressors.
The Shaykh:
No, absolutely not regarding its generality. And Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, if this is established, then He interceded for Himself, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
