Explanation of the author's statement: The saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: "And warn thereby those who fear to be gathered before their Lord, for they have no protector or intercessor besides Him," the verse.

The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic:

And warn by the Qur'an those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord - for them besides

وَأَنْذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَنْ يُحْشَرُوا إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ

[Al-An'am 6:51]

" to the end. "Warn thereby"—the warning is the information that includes the threat. This warning warns you; it informs you of something, what? It includes the threat. As for mere news, it is not a warning. And his saying: The address is to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the pronoun in "thereby" refers to the Qur'an, as Allah the Exalted said: And He said in another verse: And here He said: meaning by the Qur'an. That is, they fear the gathering before Allah, meaning they fear the evil of punishment that will befall them in that gathering. "Gathering" means collection, and it includes the meaning of bringing together, meaning they are gathered, i.e., collected, until they reach Allah. So it includes the meaning of reaching.
And his saying: This is the point of the verse, meaning that for those who fear the gathering, there is no protector or intercessor besides Allah; no protector who supports them and no intercessor who mediates for them. And his saying: implies that for them, with His permission, there is a protector and an intercessor, or not? As Allah the Exalted said: So here, in this verse, the negation of intercession is from besides Allah, meaning from besides His permission, Glorified and Exalted is He. Its implication is that it is established by what? By His permission. And this is the intended meaning. So intercession, therefore, from besides Allah is impossible, and intercession with His permission is possible and permissible. As for other than Allah, such as kings and sultans, intercession is done with their permission and without their permission, or not? That is, it is possible for someone who is close to the sultan not to intercede except after asking for permission, saying, "Allow me to intercede for so-and-so." And it is possible to intercede without asking for permission; he comes and sits with the sultan or the king and says, "I intercede for so-and-so and so-and-so." But Allah, Mighty and Majestic, no one intercedes except with His permission, due to the perfection of His authority. Yes.
