And in “al-Qurtain Kitab Mushkil al-Qur’aan” Imam Ibn Qutaiba (RA) says:
It means “Mawla” the one who is ىلوأ amongst you.
� al-Qurtain Kitab Mushkil al-Qur’aan, V2, P. 164
And let’s see now what Imam “Ibn al-Fars al-Andalusi” and other commentators interpret
about the word ىلوأ , so here we go:
It is interpreted that the Decree of the Holy Prophet (SAWS) is most deserving among the
believers to obey and the submission to Him (SAWS) for a believer is more deserving
than the believer’s to ownself. This is the right of the “Wilayah” prior to the believers,
and said the Holy Prophet (SAWS): I am ىلوأ i.e. the most deserving or the premiere
among the believers more than their ownselves. He (SAWS) further added: A guardian
and invested in authority to inherit any money, valuables and property, left behind by
anyone who, died with no legatee and of the one who quit one’s religion or ruined my
work.
The believers have been ordained to give precedence to the Holy Prophet (SAWS) in
obedience, over their ownselves (i.e. obeying to their ownselves.) as He (SAWS) is
“Foremost” to be obeyed. The rights of the Holy Prophet (SAWS) are much more on
priorities upon the believers than their own rights as He (SAWS) is “Foremost” ىلوأ or
premiere among them more than their ownselves in respect of worldly and religious
affairs. In addition, says Hadrat Mujahid (RA) referring to this verse: He (i.e the Prophet)
is like their “Father” for them.
