The Prophet's Liability Is To Convey The Message Only


The divine order for those who turn their face from the prophetic order is: -
"Say: Obey Allah and obey the messenger. But if you turn away, he (Messenger muhammad is only responsible for that wherewith he has been charged, and for you (to do) only that wherewith you have been charged. If you obey him, you will be on the right guidancet. But the messenger has no other charge than to convey (the message) plainly.” (XXIV:54)

Allamah Ibn Kathir says, ‘Conform to Allah and His messenger,’ i.e. the Quran and the Hadith. If you turn away from them and eschew them, the curse of this sin will not be upon (My) prophet. He has been charged only to convey the message, to deliver the deposit. And upon you is that with which you have been charged with, i.e. to accept it and act upon it, etc. And guidance consists only in obeying the Apostle.
