And when He - glorified and exalted is He - arranged the great reward for agreement; He arranged the severe punishment for opposition and dissent; and He entrusted the opposer to himself; by His saying (exalted is He): ﴿And whoever opposes the Messenger﴾; meaning: the one who is complete in Messenger-hood; so it will be in his heart; or something from his actions; in a direction other than his direction; in a manner of confrontation; and He expressed it in the present tense as a mercy from Him - glorified is He - by restricting the warning with continuity; and He showed the present tense; indicating the connection to openly opposing; and because the context is for the people of idols; and they are openly opposing; and the thief of the two armors openly opposed; who was the cause for the revelation of the verse; in the end of his story; as has passed. And when it was in the context of teaching the Shari'ah; which was not known before the revelation of it; not in the context of the known religion by reason; He came with 'min'; restricting the threat to what comes after the announcement of that; so He said: ﴿After what﴾; and if it were omitted, the specificity of the warning would be understood for the one who has spent the time of distance with dissent; and when what the Prophet ﷺ brought was of utmost clarity; He said: ﴿The guidance has become clear to him﴾; meaning: the evidence; which is its cause; and when the opposer to the consensus does not disbelieve; except by opposing what is known by necessity; He expressed after the clarification with following; so He said: ﴿And follows other than the way of﴾; meaning: the path of; ﴿the believers﴾; meaning: those for whom faith has become a firmly established attribute; and the intended meaning is the metaphorical path - the way of physical movement leading to the desired in the sensory; and the psychological in the premises of the evidence leading to the desired in the metaphorical -; ﴿We will turn him﴾; meaning: by our greatness in this world; and the Hereafter; ﴿to what he has turned﴾; meaning: we leave him to what he has chosen for himself; and he dealt with his original nature; as a forsaking from us to him; ﴿And We will enter him﴾; meaning: in the Hereafter; ﴿Hell﴾; meaning: it will meet him with aversion; and harshness; and frowning; as our allies frowned; and opposed them. And when the estimation was: 'So he is surely going to it; there is no doubt'; He clarified its state in that; so He said: ﴿And wretched is the destination﴾; and this verse indicates that consensus is a proof; because it is not threatened except for opposing the truth; and likewise the hadith: 'There will always be a group from my Ummah (p-403) upholding the command of Allah - and in one narration: manifest upon the truth - until the command of Allah comes'; narrated from the Prophet ﷺ by the companions - may Allah (exalted is He) be pleased with them - Thawban; and Al-Mughira; and Jabir ibn Samura; and Jabir ibn Abdullah; and Muawiya; and Anas; and Abu Huraira; some of their hadiths are in the two Sahihs; and some in the Sunan; and some in the Musnads; and some in the Ma'ajim; and others; and the indication is that the group which the Prophet ﷺ testified for with the truth; is among the people of consensus; and Allah - glorified and exalted is He - is the one who grants success.
