“If (it is just an imagination) even sacred angels and prophets intercede for the enemies of the progeny of Holy Prophet (S) Allah (s.w.t.) refute or reject their intercession.” [^2] No Intercession For Those Who Harass The Progeny Of Holy Prophet (S) Holy Prophet (S) has said: اِذَا قُمْتُ الْمَقَامَ الْمَحْمُوْدَ تَشَفَّعْتُ فِيْ اَصْحَابِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ اُمَّتِيْ فَيَشْفَعْنِيْ اللهُ فِيْهِمْ وَاللهِ لاَ تَشَفَّعْتُ فِيْمَنْ آذيٰ ذُرِّيَّتِي.
“When I will be placed on a lofty status of intercession then I will intercede for the greater sinners of my nation and Lord will even accept my intercession, by Allah He will not intercede for those persons who have harassed and troubled my progeny.” [^3] No Intercession For Who Do Not Believe In The hip Of Ameerul Momeneen (a.s.) And His Infallible Sons There are many traditions but we only quote here one.
Imam ‘Ali Reza (a.s.) quotes from his father and he from his father and so on, the main source being Hazrat ‘Ali (a.s.) who has heard from Holy Prophet (S) who said that persons eligible, who are of four types. No Intercession For Those Who Do Not Believe In Intercession Holy Prophet (S) has said: مَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِشَفَاعَتِيْ فَلَاْيَنَا لُه شَفَاعَتِيْ.
“Those who do not have faith in my intercession will be deprived from it.” [^4] Imam ‘Ali Reza (a.s.) has also said: مَنْ كَذِبَ بِشَفَاعَةِ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ لَمْ يَنِلْهُ. “Those who do not believe in the intercession of Holy Prophet (S) they will not be interceded.” [^5] No Intercession For People Who Usurp The Trusts Holy Prophet (S) has said: مَنْ غَشَّ الْعَرَبَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ فِيْ شَفَاعَتِيْ.
“Those who cheat the Arab they will not receive my intercession.” [^6] (In this tradition the word “Arab” is only for an example) otherwise to cheat any Muslim or to digest his trusts is such a great sin by which there will no intercession for him. No Intercession For Those Who Take Salat (Prayer) Lightly We only quote here one out of many traditions on this topic. Imam Sadiq (a.s.) has said: لاَ يَنَالُ شَفَاعَتُنَا مَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِالصَّلٰوةِ.
“Those who consider Salat (Prayer) as a trifle affair will not receive our intercession.”[^7] Those Sins Which Delay Intercession It is evident from the traditions that there are certain sins by which intercession will be prolonged and due to this they will have to bear the punishment for longer time and then only they will be interceded for e.g. Fornication, the intercession will be delayed for the believer.
