Intercessors

How many angels are in the heavens whose intercession is of no use, except after Allah gives permission to whom He wills and approves.

53:26And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth.

On the Day the Spirit and the angels stand in rows, none will speak except one granted permission by the Most Merciful, and who speaks what is right.

78:38On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.
