Of the prophets, peace be upon them, with the presence of what he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, decided in his law, and this includes what the People of the Book are upon, as long as they pay the tribute out of hand and are submissive, then the law’s ruling depends on the circumstances

[ Muhammad’s sovereignty over all the sons of Adam ]

So it emerges from this whole sum that he is a king and master over all the sons of Adam, and that everyone who came before him was his property and subordinates, and those who governed him were his representatives, if it is said.

So his saying, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, “Do not favor me”

The answer is that we did not prefer him, rather God favored him, for that is not ours, and if it was mentioned, “Those are those whom God has guided,” then follow their guidance, as he mentioned the prophets, peace be upon them, then it is true. For he said, “Then by their guidance and guidance from God, and it is His law, may God bless him and grant him peace.” That is, adhere to your law, by which your deputies appeared, to establish the religion, and do not be divided in it. He did not say, “It is by them, imitate him,” and in his saying, “And do not be divided in it,” is a warning about the oneness of the laws. And his saying, “Follow the religion of Abraham,” which is the religion, so he is commanded to follow the religion, for the religion It is from God, not from anyone else. And look at his saying, peace be upon him, if Moses were alive, he would have no choice but to follow me.

So he added following to it, and he, peace and blessings of God be upon him, commanded me to follow the religion and the guidance of the prophets. No, if the Great Imam is present, none of his deputies will have any authority to rule.
