    Surah Al-Anfal Ayat 68 Tafsir (Commentry)

    153. By this is meant Allah Almighty will not punish those who erred with interpretation of laws, or that the Companions of Badr will not be punished. 

    From this we learn that there will be no punishment on the Companions of Badr, either in this world or in the Hereafter. Also that the error of the jurists is forgiven, no matter in whatever form it may be. 

    The seeking of advice by the Holy Prophet FROM tthis noble Companions, and accepting ransom for the prisoners Badr on Hazrat Abu Bakr's (May Allah be pleased with him) advise is boldly proclaiming the permissibility of authoritative interpretaion of Islamic Law. If this was totally forbidden, the Holy Prophet most certainly would not have done this.
