وَلَا
تَنفَعُ
الشَّفَاعَةُ
عِندَهُ
إِلَّا
لِمَنْ
أَذِنَ
لَهُ
حَتَّى
إِذَا
فُزِّعَ
عَن
قُلُوبِهِمْ
قَالُوا
مَاذَا
قَالَ
رَبُّكُمْ
قَالُوا
الْحَقَّ
وَهُوَ
الْعَلِيُّ
الْكَبِيرُ

Intercession is of no avail with Him, except for those whom He permits. When fear is lifted from their hearts, they say, ‘What did your Lord say?’ They say, ‘The truth, and He is the All-exalted, the All-great.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
"No intercession can avail in His Presence, except for those for whom He has granted permission. So far (is this the case) that, when terror is removed from their hearts (at the Day of Judgment, then) will they say, 'what is it that your Lord commanded?' they will say, 'That which is true and just; and He is the Most High Most Great'."
