(قُلْ للَّهِ‏ِ الشَّفاعَةُ جَمِيعاً¹ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّماواتِ والْأرْضِ ثُمَّ إلَيهِ تُرْجَعُونَ).²

"Say, 'All intercession rests with Allah. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; then you will be brought back to Him." ³

(مَنْ ذا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إلّا بِإذْنِهِ).⁴

"Who is it that may intercede with Him except with His permission?" ⁵

(لا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفاعَةَ إلّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحمنِ عَهْداً).⁶

"No one will have the power to intercede [with Allah], except for him who has taken a covenant with the All-beneficent." ⁷

(يَوْمَئذٍ لا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفاعَةُ إلّا مَنْ أذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحمنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلاً).⁸

"Intercession will not avail that day except from him whom the All-beneficent allows and approves of his word." ⁹
