Tafseer-e-Saadi - Al-Hijr : 84
وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا لِیُطَاعَ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ١ؕ وَ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ اِذْ ظَّلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ جَآءُوْكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُوْلُ لَوَجَدُوا اللّٰهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِیْمًا
وَمَآ : اور نہیں اَرْسَلْنَا : ہم نے بھیجا مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ : کوئی رسول اِلَّا : مگر لِيُطَاعَ : تاکہ اطاعت کی جائے بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ : اللہ کے حکم سے وَلَوْ : اور اگر اَنَّھُمْ : یہ لوگ اِذْ ظَّلَمُوْٓا : جب انہوں نے ظلم کیا اَنْفُسَھُمْ : اپنی جانوں پر جَآءُوْكَ : وہ آتے آپ کے پاس فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا : پھر بخشش چاہتے وہ اللّٰهَ : اللہ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ : اور مغفرت چاہتا لَھُمُ : ان کے لیے الرَّسُوْلُ : رسول لَوَجَدُوا : تو وہ ضرور پاتے اللّٰهَ : اللہ تَوَّابًا : توبہ قبول کرنیوالا رَّحِيْمًا : مہربان
(And tell them that) We never sent a Messenger but that he should be obeyed by the leave of Allah. 94 If whenever they wronged themselves they had come to you praying to Allah for forgiveness, and had the Messenger prayed for their forgiveness, they would indeed have found Allah All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.
94.This is to impress upon us that Prophets are not sent so that people may pay lip-service to their Prophethood, and then obey whoever they wish. The purpose of sending Prophets is that people should follow the laws of God as brought and expounded by them rather than laws devised by man, and that they should obey the commands of God as revealed to the Prophets to the exclusion of the commands of others.
