تبعیّت؛ تنها راه رابطه با مردان خدا

در این آّیهء این حقیقت بیان شده است که هیچ رابطه‌ای بالاتر از رابطةٌ مکتبی نیست و ارتباط با مردان خدا و اولیاء له تنها از طریق تبعیّت و پیروی از آنهاست. بنا بر این هیچ کس نمی‌تواند اذعای ارتباط و نزدیکی با پیامبر اسلام(ص) و امامان معصوم(ع) را بکند مگر از راه پیروی آنها. در روایات اسلامی نیز بر این موضوع تکیه شده است. در حدیثی از امام علی(ع) می‌خوانیم: «سزاوارترین مردم به پیامبران, آنهایی هستند که به دستورهای پیامبران بیش از هر کس عمل کنند.» سپس امام همین آیه را تلاوت کرد و فرمود: «دوست محمد(ص) کسی است که فرمان خدا را اطاعت کند؛ هر چند نسبتش از او دور باشد و دشمن محمد(ص) کسی است که نافرمانی خدا کند؛ هر چند قرابت و خویشاوندی‌اش با او نزدیک باشد» ۱- نمونهء ج۲ء ص ۵۹۴ ۱- نمونهء چ۲ء ص ۵۹۴ ۲- پیشین» ص ۶۰۴ ۳ پیشین» ص ۶۰۶ ٢ - بیشین، ص ٠٣ء ٣- پیشین، ص ع. > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh.
