النساء

وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لَهَمَّت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُضِلُّوكَ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّا أَنفُسَهُمْ ۖ وَمَا يَضُرُّونَكَ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ وَأَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُن تَعْلَمُ ۚ وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيمًا 113

      This verse points to another phase of the advent of Ta'ima of ABIRAGH who, imputed his theft upon a Jew. ``A party of them tried to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they can harm you nothing.''

      They intended to charge a guiltless Jew with their own guilt, through the judgement of the prophet, but due to the Grace and Mercy of God upon His Messenger, the calumniators failed to do so.

      Among the Grace of God upon His prophet and His Mercy, is the Book and Wisdom that Allah has taught him what he knew it not, and whatever he needed for his guidance and leadership. They did try to mislead the prophet in the judgement but they failed because, God was with His Messenger, and the Messenger with his Lord. So their evil turned upon themselves, and they led only themselves to the wrong way, and could not harm the prophet the all.

 

THE INFALLIBILITY OF THE PROPHET.

      The above verse is among those that are used to prove the innocence and the infallibility of the prophets. Because of their critical duty of guidance and leadership, Allah bestows on them His Grace and Mercy. God Keeps them aloof of sinning and doing wrong or to judge with unjustice. Allah Has given them the Scripture and Wisdom, and has taught them what they knew it not; and by His especial care, God has insured them against all sorts of erring and evil: ``They tried to lead you astray, but they will lead themselves astray.''
