- On that Day none will have the power to intercede for them except those who received a sanction from the Most Compassionate Lord.5252. This implies two things: (1) Intercession will be allowed only for the one who might have received permission for it from the Merciful, that is, the one who believed in Allah in the world and made himself deserving of His pardon. (2) Only that one will be able to plead intercession who might have received permission for this from the Merciful, and not those ones whom people themselves had made their intercessors without any reason.

None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Gracious (Allah).
﴿لاَّ يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفَـعَةَ﴾(None shall have the power of intercession,) There will be no one who can intercede for them like the believers who intercede for each other. Allah says about them,﴿فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَـفِعِينَ - وَلاَ صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ ﴾(Now we have no intercessors, nor a close friend.) ﴿26:100-101﴾ Allah said,﴿إِلاَّ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَـنِ عَهْداً﴾(but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Gracious.) This is a separate exclusion, which means, "But those who have taken a covenant with the Most Beneficent.'' This covenant is the testimony that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and upholding of its rights and implications. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said,﴿إِلاَّ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَـنِ عَهْداً﴾(but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Gracious.) "The promise is the testimony that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, that the person accepts that all power and strength belong to Allah and he only places his hope with Allah alone.''
