His intercession preceded to him, so he is the one to whom intercession is made and an intercessor of high status (reading from the commentary)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then it said:
"His intercession preceded to him, so he is *** the one to whom intercession is made and an intercessor of high status"
It means: the one who intercedes is both the one to whom intercession is made and an intercessor. How is he the one to whom intercession is made? It means that people come to him to intercede for them. And he is an intercessor. It is possible that this is among the attributes of Allah, that He is the one to whom intercession is made, because people seek intercession from Him. And He is an intercessor because He grants permission for intercession, as He said[Az-Zumar 39:44], and what do you have? Is there nothing? Al-Hirras? Huh? Did he say nothing? It preceded, this verse is not resolved: "His intercession preceded to him"?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Leave the verse, the meaning of this verse is: "His intercession preceded to him."
The student: He says.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: He says: "The intercession that ... Allah ... for the one for whom intercession is sought ... and from Him and for the one for whom intercession is sought".
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: "For the one for whom intercession is sought, and he chose ... intercession, so He, Exalted is He, is the one who establishes the intercessors ... for them, and the One who forgives the owners of sins, so intercession ... Exalted is He, first and last, is for no one ...".
The Shaykh : No, it is not
"His intercession preceded to him" means: the intercessor’s intercession preceded to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, so He is the one to whom intercession is made, meaning Allah, and an intercessor, meaning He granted permission for intercession. This is what appears to me from the verse.

Say, "To Allah belongs [the right to allow] intercession entirely.
