The Shaykh : Abu al-Abbas, who is Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), is known by this kunya even though he had no children, because (may Allah have mercy on him) he did not marry and he lived for sixty-seven years without being married. Abu al-Abbas says: "Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) negates from everything other than Himself all that the polytheists associate with Him, so He negated that anyone other than Him has sovereignty" ... : [Saba 34:22] "or a share of it" His statement: [Saba 34:22] "or that anyone is an helper to Allah" [Saba 34:22] "And nothing remained except intercession, so He clarified that it does not benefit anyone except the one for whom the Lord has given permission, as the Exalted said: [Al-Anbya 21:28]"
In the verse the author cited[Saba 34:23] We know from other verses that He does not give permission except to the one He is pleased with, and it is known that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) does not accept these idols nor approve of them, rather He (Glorified and Exalted is He) says that they are false and not beneficial and not truth, and Allah the Exalted is never pleased with falsehood. And in that case, is their intercession negated or established? It is negated. So this intercession that the polytheists imagine is negated on the Day of Resurrection, just as the Qur'an negated it. Yes, so Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has negated that their idols benefit them [Al-Anbya 21:98] Even the idols do not benefit themselves and no one intercedes for them, so how can they be intercessors? Rather, they are in the Fire, they and their worshippers [Al-Anbya 21:98-99]
So, does intercession not benefit them? He said: "just as the Qur'an negated it and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed" Meaning, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed, or we make the waw introductory, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that he comes and prostrates to his Lord and praises Him, he does not begin with intercession first. And if the Messenger (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him), who is the greatest of people in status with Allah, does not intercede except after he praises Allah and extols Him with praises and commendations that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know before, great praises are opened to him and glorification of the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He), great praises and glorification of the Lord that he did not know before, and his prostration is prolonged until it is said to him:Sahih al-Bukhari 7510 Raise your head, from where? From the prostration, and speak and you will be heard, and the one who hears is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and the jussive here is "you will be heard" because it is the answer to the command. Yes, and ask and you will be given, like it, and here "you will be given" is in the jussive form by deleting the letter of the case, which is the alif, and intercede and you will be granted intercession. And in that case, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intercedes for the creation so that judgment is passed between them. Yes.
They do not possess an atom's weight [of ability] in the heavens or on the earth
لا يملكون مثقال ذرة في السماوات ولا في الأرضand they do not have therein any partnership
وما لهم فيهما من شركnor is there for Him from among them any assistant.
وما له منهم من ظهيرand they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves
ولا يشفعون إلا لمن ارتضىIn the verse the author cited
And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one whom He permits.
ولا تنفع الشفاعة عنده إلا لمن أذن لهIndeed, you [disbelievers] and what you worship other than Allah are the firewood of Hell
إنكم وما تعبدون من دون الله حصب جهنمYou will be coming to [enter] it. (99) Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.
أنتم لها واردون * لو كان هؤلاء آلهة ما وردوها وكل فيها خالدونSo, does intercession not benefit them? He said: "just as the Qur'an negated it and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed" Meaning, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed, or we make the waw introductory, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that he comes and prostrates to his Lord and praises Him, he does not begin with intercession first. And if the Messenger (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him), who is the greatest of people in status with Allah, does not intercede except after he praises Allah and extols Him with praises and commendations that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know before, great praises are opened to him and glorification of the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He), great praises and glorification of the Lord that he did not know before, and his prostration is prolonged until it is said to him:
