Quran 43:86 — Az-Zukhruf, verse 86
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Those gods they invoke besides Him have no power of intercession, unlike those who bore witness to the truth and recognized it.
وَلَا يَمْلِكُ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنْ شَهِدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
walā yamliku alladhīna yadʿūna min dūnihi l-shafāʿata illā man shahida bil-ḥaqi wahum yaʿlamūna
