The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And intercession does not benefit with Him except for whom He has permitted”

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymeen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one whom He permits. * وَلا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ
[Saba 34:23]
.
And among the benefits of this noble verse is the affirmation of intercession by the permission of Allah, based on His saying:
And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one whom He permits. وَلا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ
[Saba 34:23]
If intercession did not benefit absolutely, the exception would not be valid; and if it benefited absolutely, the negation would not be valid. Pay attention: if intercession benefited absolutely, whether Allah permitted it or not, the negation would not be valid; and if it benefited absolutely, the exception would not be valid. Therefore, it benefits by the permission of Allah.
