Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this person is asking about the intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): is his intercession specific or general?
Answer:
His intercession is both specific and general. The intercession of the Praiseworthy Station is general. He intercedes with his Lord to settle the judgment between His servants and to relieve them from the Standing. [They stand] for fifty years, and the Sun draws near to them, their eyes fixed [on it], so he intercedes with Allah to settle the matter between His servants and to relieve them from the Standing. This is general intercession. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Isra 17:79] This is the Praiseworthy Station. The first and the last praise Him for it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah forgive you
