In the Quran

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِۦ مُشْفِقُونَ

جو کچھ ان کے آگے ہوچکا ہے اور پیچھے ہوگا وہ سب سے واقف ہے اور وہ (اس کے پاس کسی کی) سفارش نہیں کرسکتے مگر اس شخص کی جس سے خدا خوش ہو اور وہ اس کی ہیبت سے ڈرتے رہتے ہیں

He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him whom He accepteth, and they quake for awe of Him.
