(44:41) Second Group: Negation of intercession for a Special Category مَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ‏ …the unjust shall not have any compassionate friend nor any intercessor who should be obeyed. (40:18) وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُونَ‏ \* فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَافِعِينَ \* وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ And none but the guilty led us astray. So we have no intercessors, nor a true friend.

(26:99-101) وَأَنذِرْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَن يُحْشَرُواْ إِلَى‏ رَبِّهِمْ لَيْسَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ وَلِىٌّ وَلَا شَفِيعٌ لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ‏ And warn with it those who fear that they shall be gathered to their Lord- there is no guardian for them, nor any intercessor besides Him- that they may guard (against evil).

(6:51) Third Group: Verses that limit intercession to Allah قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جِمِيعاً لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ‏ Say: Allah’s is the intercession altogether; His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you shall be brought back.

(39:44) إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيقَاتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ‏ \* يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلىً عَن مَّوْلىً شَيْئاً وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ‏ \* إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ‏ Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them. The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped. Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.

(44:40-42) Fourth Group: Proof of intercession by the approval of Allah يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَرَضِىَ لَهُ قَوْلًا On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whom the Beneficent God allows and whose word He is pleased with. (20:109) وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضَى‏ وَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِ مُشْفِقُونَ‏ …and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves, and for fear of Him they tremble.

(21:28) وَلَا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ And intercession will not avail aught with Him save of him whom He permits. (34:23) وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِى السَّمَوَاتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئاً إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَى‏ And how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses.
