“Person who learns Qur’an, memorize it and understands its lawful as lawful and unlawful as unlawful and also act on it, then God will make them enter Heaven and give them right to intercede for ten of his relatives who deserved to receive His punishment.” [^6] (10) Even Lord Himself Intercedes We read in tradition that Lord Himself will intercede and free them from fire of hell.
Holy Prophet (S) narrates that يَشْفَعُ النَّبِيُّوْنَ وَ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ فَيَقُوْلُ الْجَبَّارُ بَقِيَتْ شَفَاعَتِيْ. “Prophets, angels and the believers will do intercession Lord will say now My intercession is remaining for those who have yet not being interceded.” [^7] It is difficult to comprehend how Lord can do intercession, we can see from this line of supplication of Imam Sajjad (a.s.) حُبِّيْ لَكَ شَفِيْعِيْ اِلَيْكَ.
“My love towards Thee, is my interceder.” [^8] At another place, he (S) said, لاَ شَفِيْعَ لِيْ اِلَيْكَ فَلْيَشْفَعْ لِيْ فَضْلَكَ. “In Thy presence there is no interceder of mine, therefore make Your grace and mercy my intercessor.” ^9 In Surah Zumar: verse 44 Allah (s.w.t.) said that, قُلْ للهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيْعًا. “Say: (O messenger!) Allah’s is the intercession altogether.” [^1]: Amaali al-Suduq, p. 291 [^2]: Jaameus Sagheer, vol. 1, pg. 434. [^3]: Kanzul Ummaal, vol. 4, pg. 405.
