SHAFAA’AH (INTERCEDING)
Shafaa’ah in the language means: du’aa, and this is what is meant by the shafaa’ah which is established for him (sallahu alayhi wa salaam) and for the other Prophets and the Pious on the Day of Resurrection. This shows that shafaa’ah is more particular than du’aa since it will only occur if there are two people seeking a matter, so that one of them is a supplicant for the other, as opposed to a single person seeking something who does not bring anyone else as a supplicant for him, as occurs in Lisaanu-‘Arab:
SHAFAA’AH (INTERCEDING): is the intercessor’s speaking to a king about a need which he is requesting for someone else, and the intercessor is the one seeking something for someone else, through whom he intercedes to attain what is desired…”
