The misinterpretation

There are many angels in the heavens whose intercession is useless for whomever He wishes and pleases, except with the permission of Allah.

The right translation

There are many angels in the heavens whose plead is of no benefit. But those who desire from Allah and who are content (with Allah) are exception.

Explanation

The meaning of this verse is the same, but the meaning is difficult to understand when read carefully. For easier understanding, the meaning of the verse is as we have written. There are many angels in the heavens whose intercession is of no avail. Except that Allah permits it for none other than the servants who wish and are pleased with Allah.

What is said in the video

We have come to Surah An-Najm. In Surah An-Najm, verse 26 has been rendered wrongly. We read the wrong one, sir. "There are many angels in the heavens whose intercession is of no avail, except after Allah gives permission for whom He wills and is pleased with." Look, how many angels there are in the heavens? "Their intercession, except after Allah gives permission for whom He wills and is pleased with, is of no avail." What do we say here? "There are many angels in the heavens whose intercession is of no benefit at all." Yes. Intercession belongs to Allah. Yes. "Except, for others than the servants who ask of Allah Almighty and are content, when He gives permission." For example, Allah Almighty will give some of His servants who have attained intercession the right to intercede for from seven up to seventy people.

Yes. How nicely Allah Almighty puts it here, how nicely He opens up the verses for us. "There are many angels in the heavens whose intercession is of no benefit at all, unless for others than the servants who ask of Allah Almighty and are content, permission is given when we (?)." The servants from whom Allah Almighty has cut off His mercy, nobody will intercede for them either.
