Transliteration:( Qul atee'ul laaha war Rasoola fa in tawallaw fa innal laaha laa yuhibbul kaafireen )
"Please declare (O Muhammad): Obey Allah and His Messenger [70]. But, if they turn away, then Allah does not like the infidels."
Some means can be left after reaching a goal, like a train after arriving at a destination.
However, the Holy Prophet ﷺ is not such a medium—he is like the lamp that must remain to provide light.
One can never abandon the Prophet ﷺ, even after attaining closeness to Allah.
This verse also shows that anyone who disrespects or rejects the Prophet ﷺ is a disbeliever, as clearly stated:
“Allah does not love the infidels.”
The tafsir of Surah Imran verse 32 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Imran ayat 31 which provides the complete commentary from verse 31 through 32.
(3:32) Say: ‘Obey Allah and obey the Messenger.’ If they turn away from this then know that Allah does not love those who refuse to obey Him and His Messenger.[28]
28. This marks the conclusion of the first discourse. Reflection upon its contents, particularly the reference to the Battle of Badr, leads one to the conclusion that this section was probably revealed between the battles of Badr and Uhud, i.e. sometime in 3.A.H. The tradition mentioned by Muhammad b. Ishaq has led to the common misunderstanding that the first eighty verses of this surah were revealed on the occasion of the arrival of the deputation from Najran in 9 A.H. (See Ibn Hisham. Sirah, vol. 1, pp. 573 ff., especially p. 576; Ibn Ishaq, Life of Muhammad, tr. A. Guillaume, second impression, London, Oxford, 1968. pp. 270 ff.. especially p. 272 – Ed.) This is not true. In the first place, the introductory section indicates that the surah was revealed much earlier. Second, the Tradition narrated by Muqatil b. Sulayman states explicitly that on the occasion of the arrival of the deputation from Najran only those verses which concern the Prophets John (Yahya) and Jesus (‘Isa) (peace be on them) were revealed, and the number of those verses is about thirty.
