Kitāb al-Safīnah al-Nūḥīyah fī al-sakīnah al-rūḥīyah
Accepted intercession, the highest rank attributed to the knower, in which what he wills is realised and his pleading on others' behalf is granted.
Then he comes to be such that what he wills is realised, and he is the intercessor whose intercession is accepted.
Institutes of Roman Law
The general category of assuming liability for another person's debt, encompassing suretyship, correality, and solidarity as its species.
Intercession is the assumption of liability for the debt of another person by contract with his creditor.
Total Intercession is divided, according as several debtors are bound by one single obligation or several distinct, though similar, obligations, into two classes, Correality and Solidarity, terms which have been explained above.
Cumulative Intercession, or the addition of an obligation to an obligation, is either Partial or Total, according as either part or the whole of the object of the first obligation is the object of the second or additional obligation.
Risālat al-Wāridāt
Shafāʻah, intercession on behalf of sinners, affirmed as true against the Muʻtazilī denial, in keeping with the creed's insistence that grave sin does not expel from faith.
and intercession for sinners is true — contrary to them also.
