The preceding verse has both inner as well as outer meanings, thus explicitly it is ‘Salu Alay’ (send salwat) whereas its implicit meanings are ‘salimu taslema’ which in fact says that they should bow down to the will of His Prophet -saww regarding the choice of his successor -asws , after him. He -asws has been given superiority over their lives so they should fulfil their pledges of allegiance to him -asws .
This is the ‘news’ which I have disclosed to you, and no one else knows about its implicit explanations, the way I have described to you, except those whose thoughts are unpolluted, have clear conscious and have the righteous approach. And similarly, Allah -azwj ’s words on ‘Salam to the children of Yaseen’ [124] , as Allah -azwj called His Prophet -saww with the name of ‘Yaseen’, and Says: Yaseen, by the wisdom filled Quran, You are indeed among the Prophets’ [125] .
This title was used due to the fact that it was in the knowledge of Allah -azwj that they will eliminate His -azwj Words ‘ Salam ala Alay Mohammed’ in the similar manner as they did so to some of His -azwj other Words (revealed in the Book).
Rasool Allah -saww always demonstrated the status of his ‘Aal’ (progeny) to everyone by keeping them -asws closer to him -saww , showing his -saww affection for them -asws , making them -asws always sit besides him -saww and until Allah -azwj sent His -azwj Commands to move his -saww enemies away from his -saww proximity. As per Allah -azwj ‘s Words: ‘Dissociate yourself from them with politeness’.
[126] Similarly, at another place Allah -azwj Says: What has happened to these Kafir who are flocking around you from all directions, with the hope of getting access to paradise. Of course, they do not know for what they were created from [127] . And also Says: on that day everyone will be called together with his Imam’ [128] rather than saying ‘We shall call them with their names together with the names of their father and mother’.
And Allah -azwj Says: Everything else is going to be destroyed with the exception of His ‘Wajh’ [129] , thus everything else is going to face destruction except His ‘Deen’ as it is inappropriate to terminate all the rest but His -azwj Face and above all, Allah -azwj is so eloquent, praiseworthy and great to have (a face-structured configuration), indeed all that which has no link with Him will be destroyed.
