وَٱتَّقُوا۟ يَوْمًا لَّا تَجْزِى نَفْسٌ عَن نَّفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَلَا تَنفَعُهَا شَفَٰعَةٌ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ
See 2:49.
See 2:49.
Commentary:
This verse appears to deal with the same subject which has already been dealt with in 2:49; but on comparing the two, an interesting point of difference emerges. In the former verse the word شفاعة (intercession) is put before the word عدل (ransom), whereas in the present one the order has been reversed. The reason for this change is that, in his endeavour to save himself, it is natural for man to adopt a course which is least expensive and entails minimum amount of hardship. Failing this, he tries to adopt other measures. In other words, man has recourse to offer a ransom only when he finds that he cannot gain his release without offering it. In verse 2:49 this natural order is maintained and intercession is put before ransom. But after that verse, many transgressions of the Israelites have been brought to light, especially their opposition to the Prophets, so now they could not rely much on intercession, and naturally felt constrained to think of offering a ransom first. Hence, the order observed in the former verse has been reversed in the latter. For a discussion of the subject of شفاعة etc. see note on 2:49 above.

يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَرَضِىَ لَهُۥ قَوْلًا
21:29; 78:39.
اس آیت میں عیسائیوں کا ردّ کیا گیا ہے۔ جو مسیحؑ کو شفیع کہتے ہیں اور محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے شفیع ہونے کا اعلان کیا گیا ہے۔ کیونکہ صرف وہی ہیں جو رحمان پر ایمان لانے پر زور دیتے ہیں اور جن کی شفاعت کو قرآنی کلام نے جائز رکھا ہے لیکن مسیحیت اس کے برخلاف رحمانیت کی منکر ہے اس لئے اس آیت میں شفاعت کی اجازت صرف رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے حق میں ہے۔

Commentary:
The words "in whose case the Gracious God grants permission" may apply to both the intercessor and the person for whom intercession is made.
The expression "and with whose word of faith He is pleased" refers to Muslims. Elsewhere the Quran says about the true followers of Islam: "Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him" (58:23). The verse under comment means to say that at that time Islam will be in the ascendance and all progress and prosperity will fall to the lot of its followers. Allah will be well pleased with them and they will be well pleased with Him.

وَلَا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُۥ ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا۟ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

یعنی محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم۔
چونکہ پہلے یہ کہا گیا تھا کہ کفار کے حق میں کبھی سفارش قبول نہیں کی جائے گی اور اب یہ کہا گیا ہے کہ سفارش قبول کی جائے گی اور یہ اختلاف تھا اس لئے اس آیت میں اس اختلاف کو دور کیا گیا ہے اور فرماتا ہے کہ شفاعت قبول تو ہوگی مگر اس کی جس کو خداتعالیٰ اجازت دے گا اور چونکہ شفاعت کا قبول ہونا اذن پر مبنی ہے۔ اس لئے جن کو شفاعت کی اجازت دی جائے گی وہ بھی گھبرا جائیں گے اور کہیں گے کہ یہ غیر معمولی کام ہم سے کیوں لیا جاتا ہے۔ تب ان کے اردگرد کے دوسرے ملائکہ یا دوسری مخلوق ان سے پوچھے گی کہ ابھی راز کے طور پر تم کو خداتعالیٰ نے کیا کہا ہے۔ وہ کہیں گے بظاہر تو انہونی بات ہے مگر چون
2:256; 20:110; 78:39.
The Holy Prophet. The words may also mean, 'About whom God permits that intercession may be made in his favour.'
The hearts of the intercessors.
The sinful people who will be punished.
The intercessors or the Messengers of God.
2:256; 20:110; 78:39.
Important Words:
فزع (relieved of fear) is derived from فزع (fazi‘a) which means, he feared, or became afraid of. فزعه (fazza‘-hu) means, he frightened him. فزعه عنه means, he removed fear or fright from him (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The verse signifies that when punishment is decreed for a people on account of their evil deeds, no intercession can avail them.
The words "their hearts" may signify "the hearts of the intercessors" and the pronoun "they" in the words "they would say" refers to the sinful people who will be punished, and the second "they" in the expression "they will answer, 'the truth'" to the intercessors or to the Messengers of God. Or the words "their hearts" may refer to the hearts of disbelievers and the pronoun "they" to them in both the sentences. In such a case the verse would mean that when the curtain will be lifted from the eyes of disbelievers and reality will dawn on them in its naked form, they will say to themselves that what God had said through His Messengers was true.

Commentary:
The verse means that nobody will dare intercede for disbelievers, their sins of omission and commission being many and of a heinous character. Elsewhere the Quran says that sinners will not be allowed to approach near the threshold of God, i.e. they will be completely denied God’s grace.
