Koran 4:80.
The Companions knew they were incapable of pure obedience to Allah, and so it was
that Allah in His Mercy honored His Messenger in this verse, by placing obedience to His
Messenger before that of Himself. This is yet another indication to us all of the
very
honorable rank Allah bestowed upon His Prophet, salla Allahu alihi wa sallam, and His
Mercy to us.
It was about this time that Allah sent down the following verse:
"Permission is given to those who fight because they were wronged.
Allah has power to grant them victory:
those who have been unjustly driven from their homes,
just because they said, 'Our Lord is Allah '"
Koran 22:39-40
