بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

33.36

وَ مَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَّ لَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ اِذَا قَضَى اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗۤ اَمْرًا اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ لَهُمُ الْخِیَرَةُ مِنْ اَمْرِهِمْؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًا مُّبِیْنًاﭤ(36)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And it does not befit a Muslim man nor a Muslim woman, that when Allah and His Messenger have ordered any command (regarding something concerning them); so, any choice may remain for them in their matter. And whoever does not obey the command of Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed gone astray in clear misguidance.

Commentary

The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم sent a proposal to Sayyidatunā Zaynab bint Jaḥsh رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهَا on behalf of Sayyidunā Zayd bin Ḥarith رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. Due to certain reasons, she and her brother declined the proposal, then this verse was revealed. Three things are ascertained from this verse: 1. Obeying every command of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is necessary; 2. The command of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the command of Allah Almighty; and there is no option to act according to one’s own wishes if that entails opposing the Prophetic command; 3. There is a difference between a command of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and his recommendation; the former is obligatory and the latter is optional.
