وَالشَّفَاعَةُ الَّتِي ادَّخَرَهَا لَهُمْ حَقٌّ كَمَا رُوِيَ فِي الْأَخْبَارِ
The intercession reserved for the Prophet ﷺ is true, as transmitted in the reports.
وَأَهْلُ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي النَّارِ لَا يُخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا مَاتُوا وَهُمْ مُوَحِّدُونَ
Major sinners from Muhammad’s ﷺ community do not remain eternally in the Fire if they die as affirmers of Allah’s oneness, even if they enter it.
How the passages fit: Prophetic intercession is real, and major sinners who die affirming Allah’s oneness are not eternally confined to Hell. Both teachings sustain divine mercy without canceling accountability.
Application: Sin is not made trivial, nor is punishment declared inevitable for every sinner. Forgiveness, punishment and intercession remain under Allah’s judgment and will.
Limit of inference: Belief in intercession is not advance permission to commit sins.
