The student: Issues
The Shaykh : ...
The student: The issues are present
The Shaykh : The issues are simple, we read them "It contains issues. The first: Exegesis of the verses" How many verses? Five. One, two, three, four, five. Good. And their exegesis has been mentioned previously.
"The second: The description of the intercession that is denied".
The student: The last two are two verses
The Shaykh : The last two are two verses, but they are considered one verse because they are one piece of evidence.
He said: "The second: The description of the intercession that is denied" What is it? Whatever contains shirk (associating partners with Allah). Every intercession that contains shirk is denied. Good.
"The third: The description of the intercession that is affirmed" And it is the intercession of the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), with the condition of Allah's (Glorified and Exalted is He) permission.
"The fourth: Mention of the great intercession, which is the Praiseworthy Station" And it is what the hadith mentioned by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) referred to.
"The fifth: The description of what he (peace and blessings be upon him) does, and that he does not begin with intercession first, but rather prostrates, and when Allah permits him, he intercedes". As Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said, and it is clear.
"The sixth: Who are the most fortunate people with it?" Who? The people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and sincerity, meaning the one who says "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah) from the people of tawhid, purely from his heart. "La ilaha illa Allah" means there is no true object of worship except Allah, and the meaning is not that there is no object of worship except Allah, because if that were the case, reality would contradict this, since there are objects of worship other than Allah that are worshipped and called gods. Yes.
Good, and we know that "La ilaha illa Allah" contains negation and affirmation, and this is tawhid (the oneness of Allah), because pure affirmation does not prevent association, and pure negation is pure denial. If I say "There is no god," it means I have denied every god. If I say "Allah is a god," I have not established tawhid. Yes. Therefore, Allah the Exalted said: When only the affirmation came, it was emphasized by His saying: "One." Yes.
He said: "The seventh: That it is not for one who associates partners with Allah" What is the evidence? ...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : His saying:[Al-Muddaththir 74:48] And other things for which Allah has denied shirk-based intercession.
"The eighth: Clarification of its reality" Its reality is that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) bestows favor upon the people of sincerity by forgiving them through the means of one whom He has permitted to intercede, so that He may honor him and he may attain the Praiseworthy Station.

The Shaykh : His saying:
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فما تنفعهم شفاعة الشافعين"The eighth: Clarification of its reality" Its reality is that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) bestows favor upon the people of sincerity by forgiving them through the means of one whom He has permitted to intercede, so that He may honor him and he may attain the Praiseworthy Station.
