The Holy Quran 20:109 — Surah Taha

Arabic text

يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَرَضِىَ لَهُۥ قَوْلًا

Translation

On that day intercession will benefit only those whom Ar Rahmaan permits and those with whose speech He is well pleased. (Only those whom Allaah allows to intercede will be able to do so and they will be allowed to intercede only for those on whose behalf Allaah allows them to intercede.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

No intercession will avail: that is, the intercession of that person will prevail who receives permission to intercede from Almighty Allah, whose speech is pleasing to Allah, who says what is right, and who intercedes for such a person whose word (لا الہ الا اللہ, “there is no god but Allah”) has already found favour with Allah.
