43:86

وَلَا يَمْلِكُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

walā yamliku alladhīna yadʿūna min dūnihi l-shafāʿata illā man shahida bil-ḥaqi wahum yaʿlamūna

And those they invoke besides Him do not possess [power of] intercession; but only those who testify to the truth [can benefit], and they know.

— Saheeh International

Those gods they invoke besides Him have no power of intercession, unlike those who bore witness to the truth and recognized it.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And those whom they invoke instead of Him have no power of intercession - except for those who bear witness to the truth knowingly (i.e. believed in the Oneness of Allâh, and obeyed His Orders), and they know (the facts about the Oneness of Allâh).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
