And that neither happened to be for them nor against them...

And that neither happened to be for them nor against them, but it was an Imposition upon them and the Obligation for them from that pausing during the confusion, and referring what they were ignorant of from that to its knowing one and its extracting one, because Allah -azwj is Saying in the Decisive of His -azwj Book: and if they had referred it to the Rasool and to the (Divine) Authority from them they would have known it, those who can extract it [4:83] – Meaning the Progeny -asws of Muhammad -saww , and they -asws are those who should be extracting from the Quran, and they -asws are recognising the Permissible and the Prohibitions, and they -asws are the (Divine) Authorities of Allah -azwj upon His -azwj creatures’’ .

[14] فِي عُيُونِ الْأَخْبَارِ فِي بَابِ الْعِلَلِ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهَا مِنَ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ مَرَّةً بَعْدَ مَرَّةٍ وَ شَيْئاً بَعْدَ شَيْ‏ءٍ، فَإِنْ قَالَ فَلِمَ جُعِلَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ وَ أُمِرَ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ؟ In Uyoon Al-Akhbaar in the chapter on the reasons which mention Al-Fazl Bin Shazaan that he heard it from Al-Reza -asws , time after time, and thing after thing: ‘So if he says, ‘Why did He -azwj Make the ones -asws with Divine Authority and Commanded with their ‑asws obedience?’ قِيلَ: لِعِلَلٍ كَثِيرَةٍ مِنْهَا أَنَّ الْخَلْقَ لَمَّا وَقَفُوا عَلَى حَدٍّ مَحْدُودٍ وَ أُمِرُوا أَلَّا يَتَعَدَّوْا ذَلِكَ الْحَدَّ لِمَا فِيهِ مِنْ فَسَادِهِمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَثْبُتُ ذَلِكَ، وَ لَا يَقُومُ إِلَّا بِأَنْ يَجْعَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهِ أَمِيناً يَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنَ التَّعَدِّي وَ الدُّخُولِ فِيمَا حَظَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ لَكَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَتْرُكُ لَذَّتَهُ وَ مَنْفَعَتَهُ لِفَسَادِ غَيْرِهِ، Say, ‘Due to a lot of reasons.

From it is that the people, when they pause upon a limited limit and they have been Commanded that they should not be exceeding that limit due to what is therein from their corruption, they would not happen to be affirmed on that, nor would they be straight except if He -azwj Makes security to be upon them in it preventing them from the excess and the entering in what is a danger upon them, because if that did not happen to be like that, it would be so that no one would leave its pleasure and its benefit to spoil others.
