Surah Ash Shu'ara Tafseer

Now we have no intercessors.

This is like the Ayah which tells us that they will say:

فَهَل لَّنَا مِن شُفَعَأءَ فَيَشْفَعُواْ لَنَأ أَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ الَّذِى كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ

now are there any intercessors for us that they might intercede on our behalf! Or could we be sent back so that we might do deeds other than those deeds which we used to do. (7:53)

Similarly, in this Surah, Allah tells us that they will say:

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَافِعِينَ

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ
