Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And how many angels are in the heavens) whom you claim are Allah's daughters (whose intercession availeth naught) who intercede for no one (save after Allah giveth leave) except after Allah commands them to intercede (to whom He chooseth) to whoever deserves it from among the believers (and accepteth) them through the profession of Allah's divine Oneness!
