Is there a contradiction between the negated intercession in the verse from Surat Al-Baqarah: "O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers—they are the wrongdoers," and the intercession of the Messenger, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him?

Scholars reconcile the verses that deny intercession with those that affirm it in two ways: First, the denial of intercession applies only to disbelievers. Second, the denial is general but specifically excludes those for whom Allah has granted permission, and this includes the intercession of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.
