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

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.

On that Day, intercession will be useless except from those to whom the Lord of Mercy has granted permission and whose words He approves-

On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most Gracious (Allâh) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him.
