Allah said,
[وَأَطِيعُواْ
اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ الرَّسُولَ]
(Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger;) Allah commands obedience to Him and to
His Messenger in all that His legislates and in implementing His orders. Allah
also forbids one from all that His Messenger forbids and prohibits. Allah the
Exalted said,
[فَإِن تَولَّيْتُمْ
فَإِنَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَـغُ الْمُبِينُ]
(but if you turn away, then the duty of Our Messenger is only to convey
clearly.) meaning, `if you refrain from abiding by the faith, then the
Messenger's mission is to convey and your mission is to hear and obey. 'Az-Zuhri
said, "From Allah comes the Message, its deliverance is up to the Messenger, and
the adherence is up to us.''
