➋ { اِلَّا مَنْ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ … :} This has two meanings; both are intended and both are supported by the verses of the Quran. This is the miracle of the Quran, that in extremely concise words, there are many meanings. One meaning is that on that Day, intercession will not benefit except that of the one whom the Most Merciful allows to intercede and whose speech He is pleased with. The second is that on that Day, intercession will not benefit except that of the one for whom the Most Merciful allows intercession and for whom He is pleased with the speech. See Surah Maryam (87), Saba (23), Zukhruf (86), Najm (26), and Naba (38).

The Three Conditions of Intercession and Their Reasons:
That is, on that day, intercession will certainly take place, but there will be three conditions for it. First, only that person will be able to intercede who has been granted permission by Allah to do so. Second, he will only be able to intercede for the one for whom Allah approves intercession. Third, he will only be able to intercede for such a matter as Allah wishes to hear.
