Allah -saww Mighty and Majestic Said: And Allah was not going to Punish them while you were among them, [8:33] .
وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص النُّجُومُ أَمَانٌ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَمَانٌ لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَتِ النُّجُومُ أَتَى أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ وَ إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَتَى أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ And the Prophet -saww said: ‘The stars are a security for the inhabitants of the sky, and the People -asws of my -saww Household are a security for the inhabitants of the earth.
So, whenever the stars disappears there comes to the inhabitants of the sky what they dislike, and when the People -asws of my -saww Household go away, there comes to the inhabitants of the earth what they dislike.
يَعْنِي بِأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْأَئِمَّةَ الَّذِينَ قَرَنَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ طَاعَتَهُمْ بِطَاعَتِهِ فَقَالَ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ وَ هُمُ الْمَعْصُومُونَ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُذْنِبُونَ وَ لَا يَعْصُونَ وَ هُمُ الْمُؤَيَّدُونَ الْمُوَفَّقُونَ الْمُسَدَّدُونَ It means, by the People -asws of his -saww Household, those Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic has Paired their -asws obedience to His -azwj obedience, so He -azwj Said: O you who believe!
Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you.
