The Holy Quran 4:64 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَآءُوكَ فَٱسْتَغْفَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

Translation

We have sent every Rasool so that he should be obeyed by the order (permission) of Allaah. If only it were that when they (the hypocrites) oppress (wrong) their souls (by referring their disputes to others), they should come to you (O Muhammad ﷺ), seeking Allaah's forgiveness; and then the Rasool (Muhammad ﷺ) seeks forgiveness on their behalf, they will then surely find that Allaah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful (Allaah will forgive them if they obey Him and realise that the judgement of Rasulullaah ﷺ is absolute).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وما بعَثْنَا من رسول من رسلنا، إلا ليستجاب له، بأمر الله تعالى وقضائه. ولو أن هؤلاء الذين ظلموا أنفسهم باقتراف السيئات، جاؤوك -أيها الرسول- في حياتك تائبين سائلين الله أن يغفر لهم ذنوبهم، واستغفرت لهم، لوجدوا الله توابًا رحيمًا.
